AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Space Systems Command’s S6 division, under the Department of Defense, has issued a Request for Information to gather detailed information from commercial vendors offering Zero Trust Architecture solutions. This RFI is strictly for planning and informational purposes and does not represent an invitation to bid, nor does it obligate the government to award any contract. Vendors are encouraged to submit product details, technical capabilities, and implementation approaches aligned with the DoD’s Zero Trust Framework and NIST guidelines through a designated online form or fillable PDF. All costs associated with responding to this RFI are the sole responsibility of the respondent, and no reimbursement will be provided. The objective is to build a categorized vendor framework that will help mission system stakeholders evaluate and select commercial ZT solutions that best address specific capability gaps and operational needs. Responses must be submitted by September 11, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to the designated Point of Contact, Abel Moreno, and Alternate Point of Contact, Mark Munoz. While the government may provide clarifications, it is not required to respond to all questions. Participation in this RFI does not guarantee future solicitation participation. The effort aims to standardize vendor assessments across the market, where Zero Trust offerings currently vary widely in maturity and functionality, ultimately enabling more informed decision-making for mission-critical systems within the Space Force and broader defense ecosystem.

2.0 BACKGROUND
Space Systems Command (SSC) S6, Cyber and Data, is issuing this RFI to support mission system programs in identifying and selecting commercial Zero Trust (ZT) solutions that align with the U.S. Department of Defense/Department of War’s (DoD/DoW) Zero Trust Framework and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Zero Trust guidelines.
Currently, Zero Trust solutions vary significantly across the commercial market in capability, maturity, and implementation approach. Because of this variance, mission systems face challenges in determining which solutions are best suited to address their specific ZT gaps.
3.0 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE
To address this need, SSC’s S6 is developing a ZTA Vendor Framework that will provide a structured and categorized view of available commercial ZT solutions. The framework will serve as a decision-support resource to help mission system stakeholders:
• Understand the vendor landscape.
• Compare solution types and capabilities.
• Assess how commercial offerings align to DoD/DoW Zero Trust activities, requirements, and mission needs.
• Select solutions that best fit identified capability gaps.
Through this RFI, SSC’s S6 seeks specific information from Zero Trust vendors regarding their products, services, and technical capabilities. The information collected will be evaluated and used to build this categorized repository. Ultimately, the results of this effort will inform mission system programs as they evaluate available options and pursue solutions that align with their specific Zero Trust implementation goals.
4.0 REQUESTED INFORMATION / AREAS OF INTEREST
Interested parties are requested to complete the attached fillable PDF Form to provide information about their commercial Zero Trust solutions, or by completing the same form (ZTA Vendor Framework Campaign - Survey Questions) online by following https://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/2kJ75aaDuR.
5.0 QUESTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS
Questions regarding this RFI must be submitted to both the Primary and Alternate POCs identified. The Government will attempt to answer relevant questions but is not obligated to respond to all inquiries.
