WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has issued a draft solicitation for an omnibus contract for a wide range of services to US Cyber Command, including support for offensive and defensive operations, and management of military networks.
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) anticipates the award of multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts, as well as four task orders. Portions of the contract would be set aside for small businesses.
Responses to the 106-page draft request for proposal (RFP), posted Dec. 24 on a government procurement website, are due on Jan. 12.
Procurement documents, which describe the contract as a means to “streamline” procurement, covers a broad scope of services, including “furnishing technically qualified personnel, products, materials, facilities, travel, services, managed services and other items needed to satisfy the research, development, deployment, operation, maintenance and sustainment requirements.”
The solicitation also pulls back the curtain on the secretive agency, describing contract positions within the agency and how contractors would develop strategy, conduct war games and support its operations — “maneuver, fires and effects” — in cyberspace.
Federal Computer Week first reported on the release of the draft RFP, which was posted on a government procurement web site on Dec. 24.
