The General Services Administration has issued a request for information for a potential 10-year, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency could use to procure cybersecurity platforms and services to meet mission needs.
According to a sources sought notice published on Feb. 13, GSA said the government estimates the CISA IDIQ contract requirement to be worth $18 billion to $20 billion with a five-year base ordering period and five-year option term.
Responses to the RFI are due March 7.
The proposed acquisition vehicle supports CISA’s intent to shift its existing Dashboard and DEFEND task orders to more functionally aligned contracts.
Contract Scope
According to the RFI, the proposed IDIQ contract includes five service areas and one product area covering cybersecurity products and tools, including software, hardware, cloud infrastructure and security platforms.
The five service areas, or SAs, are cyber/IT project management support; requirements management; capability implementation; operations, sustainment and ancillary support; and solution development.
The requirements management SA, for instance, focuses on helping government project and program management offices manage the execution of Capacity Building capability implementations at Federal Civilian Executive Branch partner organizations.
The third SA’s scope focuses on capability implementation for the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation, or CDM, program and other large-scale initiatives. This includes performing technical planning for implementation and direct support to federal agencies and departments to configure, test and deploy technologies and related systems.
According to the notice, potential initial task orders under the CISA IDIQ vehicle are requirements and implementation roadmap management for CDM, strategic cybersecurity acquisition and buying support and cybersecurity training program support services.
