This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) to gather information from industry regarding current and emerging technologies and services for mitigating the risks of compromising classified and sensitive information through electromagnetic emanations (TEMPEST). DCSA is performing early market research, and this information will be used to inform the development of future acquisition strategies and requirements related to TEMPEST mitigation.

This RFI is in preparation for a Reverse Industry Day planned for October 28th and 29th, 2025.
