NATO Request for Information: Air-Gapped End User Device Management Solution Comprised of End User Devices Compatible with Windows Client OS

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) is conducting market research to identify potential sources and gather information regarding industry capabilities to support the development of concept of operations and consequently acquisition of the necessary hardware, software, and services for an air-gapped solution for end user device provisioning and management. The solution needs to support the complete lifecycle of the end user devices – provisioning, operation, and decommissioning across two IT domains, providing only the entitled domain to the entitled end users. The end user devices need to support NATO-approved data-at-rest encryption or be compatible with NATO-approved encrypted hard drives. • The solution needs to operate fully on-premises, in an air-gapped fashion, and provide control over the peripherals attached to the end user equipment. • The solution should support user authentication against an identity provider (e.g., Active Directory) and avoid storing any data at any time. • The solution will be deployed in Europe. • Interested parties are invited to respond with company information, technical capability, and feedback and recommendations.
