MARINE CORPS ENTERPRISE NETWORKS (MCEN) EVENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (MEMS)

Request for Information (RFI)

This RFI is issued by the Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) for informational and planning purposes to conduct market research regarding the Marine Corps Enterprise Networks (MCEN) Event Management System (MEMS). It does not commit the Government to a contract or solicitation. The goal is to determine the availability and technical capability of sources to meet specified requirements.

The MEMS aims to provide a single solution to monitor all events on the MCEN, capturing telemetry for behavioral and attitudinal performance indicators. This includes network traffic analysis, service reliability, application performance, user experience, system usability, and net promoter scores. The system must support enterprise network service monitoring, extend to the tactical edge, discover, monitor, and mitigate vulnerabilities, and function autonomously when disconnected.

The document outlines extensive requirements for the MEMS, categorized as follows:

• General Requirements: Integration of all requirements into a single solution, security accreditation (IL5/IL6), on-premise/hybrid operation, dynamic discovery, real-time visualization, vulnerability monitoring, autonomous syncing, role-based access, API integration, and situational awareness dashboard integration.

• Core Monitoring Capabilities: Monitoring of routers, switches, firewalls, servers, and other SNMP-enabled devices; availability, latency, load, threats, connectivity; network events; QoS; application status; OS performance; cyber warnings; and Section Board Controller (SBC).

• Network Discovery: Discovery of devices via SNMP and ICMP, IP address ranges, subnets, individual IPs, and Active Directory integration.

• Graphical User Interface & Customization: Multi-user access, horizontal scaling, customizable web pages, unified alert views, custom dashboards, audit logging, interactive charting, and PDF export.

• Platform Security: TLS 1.2 compatibility, enterprise virtualization-based security, agentless deployment, and support for on-prem, cloud, and multi-cloud systems.

• NetFlow Data and Traffic Analysis: Monitoring network traffic, identifying bandwidth consumers (users, applications, protocols), classifying data, and monitoring CBQoS.

• Network Device Configuration Management: Automatic configuration backup, bulk changes, change detection, comparison against approved configurations, real-time alerts for changes, and policy violation detection.

• Applications and Services Monitoring: Monitoring application status, performance, OS performance, services, processes, and hardware. Includes automated workflows for events and integration with ticketing tools.

• Cloud Monitoring Capability: Discovery and monitoring of cloud instances (EC2, EBS), enterprise cloud services, and cloud container deployments.

• Virtualization Infrastructure Environment Management: Heterogeneous hypervisor management, performance and capacity monitoring, proactive detection of bottlenecks, VM placement optimization, and VM sprawl control.

• Call Center Traffic Quality Management: Monitoring VoIP/landline performance, call paths, MOS, jitter, latency, packet loss, and CDR/CMR data.

• Questions Deadline: 07 May 2026, 14:00 PM Eastern Time.

• Response Deadline: 28 May 2026, 14:00 PM Eastern Time.

• Format: MS Word 2013 or higher, or PDF.

• File Size Limit: 2MB per email, 8MB total per submission. No .ZIP files.

• Content: Responses must include company information (name, address, CAGE, UEI, NAICS, socio-economic status), ability to negotiate license terms, detailed explanation of how the solution meets Table 1 requirements, facility clearance status, SME availability, upfront and annual sustainment costs, training availability and costs, product demo capability, network segmentation support, product roadmap, and feedback on requirements.

Not specified in this RFI. However, question 1 requests information on socio-economic status and government-wide contract vehicles.

• Responses will not be returned and will not be paid for.
• All costs are at the interested party's expense.
• Proprietary information should be clearly marked.
• The Government is not liable for damages incurred if proprietary information is not properly identified.
• Telephonic inquiries or replies will not be entertained.
