Definitive Contract FA330020C0056

Diligent Consulting, Inc., a San Antonio-based service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), was awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract valued at $52,749.40 by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) on September 25, 2020. The contract, designated for SDVOSB set-aside competition, supports the conversion of AFHRA's IRIS DIACAP (Defense Information Systems Agency Authorization and Accreditation) system to the Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance model. Work will be performed at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2022. This engagement reflects AETC's ongoing commitment to modernizing its cybersecurity authorization and accreditation processes in accordance with federal information security standards.

The contract represents a focused engagement aligned with the Department of Defense's broader cybersecurity and systems security initiatives. AETC, responsible for training and education across the U.S. Air Force, requires continuous updates to its information security compliance posture. Diligent Consulting's established portfolio of IT services, cybersecurity support, and systems engineering technical assistance positions the firm to support this transition effectively. The relatively modest contract value reflects a specialized scope focused on the technical conversion and compliance activities necessary to transition AFHRA's systems from the legacy DIACAP authorization process to the current Risk Management Framework standard.
