Agile Cyber 3

The Agile Cyber 3 (ACT 3) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) research and development contract awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory, Information Directorate. The contract focuses on advancing cyber capabilities across eight critical technological domains, including cyber threat avoidance, full spectrum cyber operations, network exploitation, situation awareness, command and control, modeling and simulation, infrastructure, and mission assurance. The vehicle emphasizes rapid technology development, prototype delivery, and technical support, with an anticipated maximum ordering amount of $950 million over a 60-month period.

Recent task orders demonstrate a consistent pattern of cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders ranging from $2,000 to $125 million, primarily supporting U.S. Department of Defense agencies such as Air Force Research Laboratory, U.S. Cyber Command, and Air Force Space Command. Prime contractors like CNF Technologies Corporation, Global Infotek Inc., Assured Information Security, Invictus International Consulting, and Radiance Technologies have been awarded significant contracts, with work predominantly performed in locations such as Huntsville, Alabama; San Antonio, Texas; Rome, New York; and Alexandria, Virginia. While the original solicitation designated the contract as a total small business set-aside, the recent task orders have not consistently utilized set-aside designations. The delivery orders typically support cybersecurity research, systems engineering, software development, integration, testing, and advanced cyber operations capabilities.
