Unified Communications Software Platform Licensing

The Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Digital Capabilities Contracting Center of Excellence (DC3oE), on behalf of the office of the Capability Program Executive – Command and Control Information Network (CPE C2IN), Product Manager Command and Control Data & AI (PM C2 Data & AI), mature, commercially available software solutions for a unified communications platform.

The Army requires a unified communications software platform that provides an interoperable capability within the Army's tactical voice architecture. The objective is to bridge legacy and modern systems into a single integrated voice environment, encompassing Combat Net Radios, telephony, IP devices, mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET), mobile devices, tablets, and legacy hardware radio platforms.

The software must support real-time collaboration through messaging, file sharing, video conferencing, and virtual meeting rooms. It must provide advanced analytics and reporting capabilities and include end-to-end encryption. The Army seeks to streamline communication across multiple channels, including voice, video, chat, and collaboration tools, to enhance productivity and collaboration while integrating seamlessly with existing enterprise applications.

This requirement supports Command and Control Network Optimized for Warfighting (C2NOW) fielding and will affect units currently using unified voice communications platforms across the active Army network. The procurement of a unified communications software platform is projected to be an enduring, mission-critical requirement to ensure the safety, operational effectiveness, and real-time connectivity of warfighters. Once procured, this will be a recurring annual requirement.
