NATO Business Opportunity: Contractor Support for Quantum Zero Beacon Project (QZBP)

Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (HQ SACT) seeks a qualified U.S. prime contractor (and subcontractors) to provide end‑to‑end support for the Quantum Zero Beacon Project (QZBP), a one‑year pilot that will demonstrate and validate quantum‑resilient communications between NATO HQ in Brussels and SHAPE in Mons. The effort includes rapid delivery of a limited‑scale quantum‑safe cryptography solution, extensive program and stakeholder management, risk and requirements analysis, integration, testing, cyber‑security assessments, security accreditation, performance and migration evaluations, and the production of roadmaps, policy recommendations, and lessons‑learned documentation to guide NATO’s broader transition to post‑quantum cryptography by 2030. The contract will be awarded via a sealed‑bidding procedure and performed primarily at NATO sites in Belgium and the Netherlands, with potential work at the contractor’s U.S. facility.
