    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather insights for developing an Interoperable Information Sharing Framework (ISF) aimed at enhancing secure emergency communications over 4G/5G networks. The RFI seeks input from qualified organizations to identify their capacity and willingness to contribute to this initiative, which addresses the challenges of data interoperability among diverse jurisdictions and organizations during large-scale emergencies. Respondents are prompted to provide feedback on potential technical challenges, key performance metrics, innovative technologies, and experience with similar projects in areas like data exchange, cybersecurity, and network architecture. Responses should adhere to specific formatting guidelines and address ten outlined questions regarding organizational qualifications, project interest, applicable experience, and labor mix. Submissions are due by May 26, 2024. The document emphasizes that this is a preliminary market research effort, and responses will inform future solicitation strategies, underscoring the government’s non-obligatory stance regarding eventual contracting opportunities.
    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to design, develop, test, and implement an Integration Layer of the Information Sharing Framework (ISF) for National Security and Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) personnel. The ISF aims to facilitate secure, prioritized, and interoperable communication during emergencies by integrating data from various sources in near real-time, addressing interoperability challenges across agencies and jurisdictions. The initiative comprises two phases: Phase 1 focuses on the technical feasibility of the ISF in a controlled environment, emphasizing Data Discovery, Data Exchange, and Identity Management functions. Phase 2 will enhance the platform with analytics capabilities. Key requirements include high availability, scalability, robust security measures, and compliance with standards such as NIST and FedRAMP. Project objectives encompass establishing a lab for testing, defining roles of 5G ecosystem participants, assessing use of artificial intelligence for data analysis, and documenting findings in a technical report. The expected outcomes aim to improve data sharing and enhance situational awareness for NS/EP personnel during incidents, ensuring that the integration layer can effectively support a range of emergency scenarios.
