RFI for Software Based Encryption Services

The government authority in Washington, DC seeks software-based encryption services to enhance data protection for its programs of record. The buyer requires a software-only cryptographic solution that operates without replacing, modifying, or augmenting existing physical components, including chips, cryptographic cards, radios, or hardware security modules. The requested scope mandates utility-based, data packet-level cryptographic protection, public key infrastructure integration capabilities, and cryptographic protection of establishment keys via asymmetric key encapsulation mechanisms and digital signatures. The solution must advance data protection while ensuring the department retains complete control and sovereignty over its data and cryptographic keys. Only USA organizations qualify for this opportunity. The contractor will perform all work offsite. Interested bidders must submit their proposals digitally through email or online. The buyer has not specified a fixed budget and is looking for proposals.
