NO REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE MADE FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO THIS SYNOPSIS OR ANY FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION REQUESTS.

1. Purpose.
This is a Sources Sought synopsis in support of Market Research being conducted by the United
States Air Force to identify potential sources able to provide the following:
The system shall be designed to provide access to a centralized Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. This complies with the Industry "Zero Trust" architecture and is approved by the NSA to allow access to multiple differing classification networks concurrently. Zero Trust moves the security boundary from the endpoint (user workstation) to a centralized Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
There is zero compute, storage or Operating System at the endpoint, removing endpoint vulnerabilities. This also allows a dynamic reappropriation of network access based on what the room is classified at, who is in the room, and which room one is in.
