DISA is launching a prototyping push to revamp corporate identity.
The Defense Information Systems Agency has issued a solicitation for the next generation of corporate identity, credentials and access management. The effort is aimed at a modular, cloud-hosted COTS/SaaS system spanning IL5 and IL6, with DISA tasked with providing department-wide ICAM capability up to a classified level by September 2027. Vendor inquiries should be addressed on November 15; Solution abstracts close on November 30.
The requirement emphasizes that identity is treated as the first control layer in the Pentagon's zero-trust architecture. DISA explicitly attempts to replace fragmented libraries, high-latency federation, and legacy authorization workflows without disrupting downstream mission systems during the transition.
