Description
The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is seeking information from industry partners on how Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) solutions can address the challenges of rapid obsolescence, lengthy approval cycles, and sustaining deployed COTS/GOTS equipment. The USMC wants to explore HaaS models that can provide proactive obsolescence management, streamlined certification processes, and continuous security validation. The ideal HaaS solution should support current Marine Corps maintenance procedures, be aligned with MCO 4790.2C, and provide reliable, on-demand access to computing resources.
• The USMC is looking for HaaS solutions that can mitigate the impact of obsolescence through lifecycle management strategies and technology refresh programs.
• The USMC wants HaaS providers to leverage pre-certified solutions, modular architectures, or other techniques to expedite the testing and certification process.
• The USMC is seeking HaaS models that can support continuous security validation and compliance throughout the equipment lifecycle.
• The USMC wants HaaS solutions that can enable more frequent and seamless technology refreshes without requiring extensive re-evaluation and recertification processes.
