Due to the sensitive nature of this requirement this RFI will be conducted through a multi-step process via email with details released through a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) process. Through this RFI, DEA is seeking any capable vendor that can currently provide command and control plus data mediation for the exploitation of mobile devices with an offensive cybersecurity

b. Company’s relevant past experiences within the last three (3) years relating to

the scope requirement.

d. Company’s business size and socioeconomic standards.

2. The Government specialists will review the package submission from this RFI.

a. If the package demonstrates the capability of the scope of this requirement, the vendor will be provided Individual Non-Disclosure Agreements to sign and return. These will be provided on an individual basis and not companywide.

b. If the package does not demonstrate the capability of the scope of this requirement, the Government will acknowledge receipt of the package and retain a copy of the information for future procurements most relevant to the company

capability and experience.
