Enterprise Network Management System (ENMS) Request for Information

Statement of Objective (SOO)

To acquire and deploy an Enterprise Network Management System (ENMS) that provides comprehensive visibility, monitoring, analytics, and assurance across the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) enterprise network environment. The system aims to improve operational awareness, network reliability, security posture, and mission assurance, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 operations and aligning with Zero Trust principles.

• Comprehensive network monitoring, topology discovery, performance management, fault detection, configuration validation, path analysis, and reporting for both NIPRNet and SIPRNet enclaves.

• Covers approximately 10,000 NIPRNet endpoints and 5,000 SIPRNet endpoints, plus over 300 network infrastructure devices and 50 encryption devices.

• Requires high availability (99% uptime), scalability for 20% growth, and enterprise resiliency with automated failover.

• Implementation includes phased onboarding of infrastructure and encryption devices, validation of monitoring, configuration of alerting, and establishment of data retention policies.

• Solution must operate successfully in dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 environments.

• Deliverables (per enclave): Project Kick Off, Pre-Deployment Guide, Acceptance Testing Procedures (ATP), As-Built Documentation, Low-Level Design, High-Level Design (HLD).

• Project Tasks (per enclave): Onsite Project Kickoff, Design (HLD for NIPRNet and SIPRNet), Solution Engagement (Enterprise Readiness and Integration Assessment, Solution Implementation and Integration, Cutover), Documentation (architecture diagrams, integration mapping, configuration baselines), and Formal NMS Training.

• Place of Performance: USTRANSCOM, Command, Control, Communications, and Cyber Systems Directorate, Building 1961, 508 Scott Drive, Scott AFB, IL 62225.

• Anticipated Service Dates: September 2026 through March 2027.

• Contractor must possess a valid Facilities Clearance (FCL) at the SECRET level.

• Specific requirements for Common Access Card (CAC) issuance for US Citizen and Non-US Citizen personnel.

• Access to Scott AFB and USTRANSCOM facilities requires appropriate badges and security training.

• Personnel must comply with antiterrorism/force protection conditions (FPCONs).

• Specific security and emergency operations training is required.

• All contractors assigned to USTRANSCOM on SAFB will complete contractor in-processing.

• Derogatory information regarding contractor personnel must be reported immediately.

• Accessing NATO information requires specific indoctrination and adherence to protocols.

• Security debriefing is required upon contract completion or reassignment.

• The government shall have unlimited rights to all data and deliverables developed.

• The solution shall integrate with various enterprise systems including Cisco Identity Services Engine, Cisco Catalyst Center, Cisco SD WAN, Palo Alto, Cisco FMC, ACAS, Tanium, Remedy, and ServiceNow.

• All components deployed within the classified enclave shall reside on approved infrastructure and be implemented by appropriately cleared personnel.

Request for Information (RFI)

This RFI seeks information regarding Enterprise Network Management System (ENMS) solutions for the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). USTRANSCOM's current network environment is complex and distributed, leading to management difficulties, lack of visibility, and potential security risks. The goal is to identify market solutions that can provide modern ENMS with end-to-end visibility, automation, and security across the entire USTRANSCOM network. This RFI is for informational and planning purposes only and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a commitment to award a contract.

The desired ENMS solution should encompass:

• End-to-end network visibility, automated change management, Zero Trust security support, application performance monitoring, policy-based network management, automated troubleshooting, and comprehensive network monitoring capabilities.

• Integration with existing ticketing systems (Remedy, ServiceNow), Active Directory, Infoblox, and Cisco Network Devices.

• Support for USTRANSCOM's network infrastructure across on-premise and multi-cloud environments (USTRANSCOM ULN, USTRANSCOM CLN, Constellation GovCloud, Azure).

• Adherence to regulatory and compliance requirements, including STIG, CMMC, and FedRAMP.

• Capabilities such as Policy Based Network Management, Situation Awareness, Configuration Management, enhanced Security controls (MFA, RBAC), Compliance checks, IPv4/IPv6 support, Network Discovery, Network Modeling, Topology Mapping, Path Calculation, Network Automation, and Automated Troubleshooting.

• A Self-Service Portal, Training programs, Customizable Dashboards, and Visual Assessment Summaries.

• Place of Performance: Scott AFB, IL

• Anticipated Award Date: September 2026

• Responses are due by June 15, 2026, 1700 PM CDT.

• Deadline for Questions: June 2, 2026, 1200 PM CDT.

• Responses should be detailed but no more than 12 pages (excluding title page and cover letter).

• Interested parties should provide information on their firm's end-to-end solution capabilities.

• USTRANSCOM may conduct One-on-One sessions with interested offerors.

• USTRANSCOM encourages responses from businesses of all sizes, including small and large businesses and all socioeconomic categories.

• Facility Clearance: Access to classified information or a Facility Security Clearance (FCL) at the SECRET level may be required.

• This RFI is for market research to facilitate decision-making.

• Industry responses will not impact future RFP/RFQ evaluations.

• USTRANSCOM will not be responsible for any costs incurred in responding to this RFI.

• Respondents are encouraged to provide suggestions on acquisition strategy, contract vehicles, implementation timeframes, recommended software, NAICS codes, contract types, commerciality, and industry best practices.

• A DRAFT Statement of Objectives (SOO) is attached.
