The Navy’s Naval Enterprise Networks (NEN) Program Office is conducting market research to design a Department‑wide Supply Chain Management (SCM) capability for IT hardware, software, licenses and related services. The goal is to create a streamlined, visible, and secure procurement and integration process that can serve roughly 1 million Navy and Marine Corps users across 1,600+ domestic and overseas sites. The RFI asks vendors to describe how commercial supply‑chain models, catalog management, ordering workflows, lease vs. purchase options, risk‑mitigation practices, and data integration could meet stringent security, visibility, and transition requirements. Respondents must submit a concise (≤6‑page) solution description, company information, and examples of comparable large‑scale work. No funding is offered for responses, and the RFI does not constitute a solicitation.
• Scope: Design of a flexible, government‑visible procurement and integration platform for commodity IT items.
• Target environment: 750 k Navy + 260 k Marine personnel, 1,600+ CONUS/OCONUS locations, high‑volume, security‑sensitive transactions.
• Key constraints: continuous government data ownership, end‑to‑end visibility, cybersecurity compliance, uninterrupted transition from existing contracts.
• Deliverables requested in the RFI: operating model concept, catalog/ordering approach, performance metrics, risk‑management plan, integration strategy, transition plan, and identification of applicable contract vehicles.
• Response format: ≤5 MB email, up to 6 pages of technical response plus a 1‑page company info sheet.
