SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

In order to fulfill its core mission, the 

National Cybersecurity Center of 

Excellence (NCCoE) publishes 

announcements in the Federal Register 

of new collaborative projects to address 

cybersecurity challenges. In response to 

these announcements, technology 

vendors are invited to submit Letters of 

Interest (LoI) for technologies relevant to 

the challenge. These letters specify the 

product(s) that the potential collaborator 

is submitting for consideration, how the 

product(s) address(es) one or more of 

the requirements of the project, and 

contact information for the company’s 

representative. Subsequent to the 

submission of LoIs, NIST invites 

companies with relevant technology to 

enter into a Collaborative Research and 

Development Agreement (CRADA) with 

NIST.
