Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness and Validation Status RFI

GSA is gathering market information on commercial products and services that support, or plan to support, NIST post-quantum cryptography standards as agencies… GSA is gathering market information on commercial products and services that support, or plan to support, NIST post-quantum cryptography standards as agencies move off quantum-vulnerable public key algorithms. It asks about FIPS validation status, product readiness, contract access, interoperability and migration support. This is market research only, with no tasks planned under the RFI. Key tasks: Describe PQC-capable products and services; Report FIPS 140-2/140-3 and CMVP validation status; Explain support for FIPS 203, 204 and 205 algorithms; Describe contract vehicles through which offerings can be bought; Outline implementation maturity, interoperability and migration support. Deliverables: RFI response through the GSA online feedback form. Key requirements: Alignment with NIST PQC standards and SP 800-208; Validated cryptographic modules where cryptography is required. Key facts: Agency: General Services Administration, Federal Acquisition Service, FC Acquisition Solutions Dev/IDV Acquisition Management. Source: SAM.gov. Notice type: RFI. Solicitation number: 1106202612072026. Posted: Nov 12, 2026. Responses due: Dec 7, 2026. NAICS: 541519. Place of performance: Washington, DC. Official notice: https://sam.gov/opp/4883121a70ef4cbd8b562e8d0a668497/view Listings are summarized by Shaavir from public SAM.gov notices, GSA eBuy records, published agency forecasts and public bids on state and local procurement portals (DemandStar, Bonfire, OpenGov) and agency websites.
