SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENT
The Alliance operates multiple NATO SECRET (NS) networks without full interoperability or centralized management, and it is constrained in scalability, resilience, Enterprise-wide collaboration, innovation intake, and cost transparency. ON-X aims to address these current limitations.

The effort will also include the provision of secure digital workplace services delivered to the NATO Enterprise as a service. The prime contractor will function as a managed-service provider under NATO command and governed by NATO policies and directives.
The requirement is expressed as outcomes, measurable end-states the capability must achieve, and bidders will propose their solution. The outcomes to be contracted span, at a high level include but are not limited to:
• Progressive take-over and management of the operation of the existing Operational Network (...
