This is a Sources Sought Notice from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) seeking information on next-generation scanning solutions for the Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS) program. DISA seeks a comprehensive scanning solution capable of monitoring approximately 11 million Department of War devices across the DoD/DoW Information Network (DODIN/DOWIN), with scan results collected at minimum every 72 hours. The required solution must provide network-based, host-based agent, and agentless scanning capabilities; assess compliance with security controls and patch management; support multiple operating systems (Windows, UNIX/Linux, macOS, Cisco IOS, etc.); and handle diverse asset types including servers, workstations, IoT, operational technology (OT), containers, and cloud-based assets. Additional requirements include FedRAMP High certification with Impact Level 5 (IL5) cloud deployment, scanning capabilities for major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, OCI, GCP), web application scanning, and adherence to standards such as SCAP, CVE, CPE, XCCDF, and OVAL. The anticipated period of performance spans from January 1, 2029, through October 31, 2033, covering both CONUS and OCONUS locations.

Responses are due by 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on June 11, 2026, submitted via email to Adam Venhaus (adam.m.venhaus.civ@mail.mil) and LTC Rhett Zietlow (rhett.c.zietlow.mil@mail.mil). Respondents must submit a capabilities statement not exceeding five pages addressing their company background, small business socio-economic status (if applicable), CAGE Code, and relevant prime contract vehicles including ENCORE III, SETI, NASA SEWP V, GSA OASIS, ALLIANT II, VETS II, STARS III, or MAS. Personnel must possess appropriate security clearances up to TS/SCI on the first contract day and maintain IA certifications per DoDD 8140.03-M. This notice indicates potential for small business set-asides if two or more qualified small businesses respond; the incumbent contractor is FCN, INC, a women-owned small business. The government notes this is informational only, not a binding solicitation, and no funds are available for response preparation.

OURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT

Tracking Number: 842674622

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking sources for the next-generation Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS) for the Program Acquisition Executive (PAE) Cyber Sensing Portfolio Management Office.

CONTRACTING OFFICE ADDRESS:

Defense Information Systems Agency DITCO-Scott PL8413 2300 East Drive Bldg. 3600 Scott AFB, IL 62225-5406

1. INTRODUCTION

This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability and technical capability of a scanning solution to scan an estimated 11 million devices (including information technology, Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT)) on the Department of Defense / War (DoD / DoW) Information Network (DODIN/DOWIN) for proper device configuration, current patching, and to identify system vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

The DISA PAE Cyber, Cyber Sensing Portfolio Management Office is seeking information from potential sources to determine the viability of a new/next generation scanning solution that allows for more frequent, highly accurate scanning with the ability to scale from one asset to the size of the DoW enterprise with scan results collected at a minimum every 72 hours, or more frequently as can be supported by the bandwidth, storage and infrastructure.

The current ACAS capability provides the DoW (Combatant Commands, Services, DoW Agencies and Field Activities, Combat Support Agencies, and other program approved organizations) a means for identifying and assessing assets and devices; and evaluating the design, security and compliance posture of DoW systems and networks. As a replacement for the current ACAS, Cyber Sensing Portfolio Management Office is seeking a solution that:

(1) covers the full range of network-based scanning, host-based agent and agentless scanning, log correlation, and passive traffic analysis capabilities;

(2) assesses compliance with security controls, configuration best practice guidelines, network and data segmentation, network architecture, and patch management;

(3) identifies vulnerabilities and weaknesses;

(4) sustains what we already have on-premises and allows for expansion to IoT, OT and the cloud;

(5) works on all types of assets/network infrastructure (i.e., Windows, UNIX/Linux and variants (e.g. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Solaris, Operating System (OS) X, Juniper Network Operating System (JUNOS)), Cisco Internetworking Operating System (IOS), and other operating systems; workstations, laptops, desktops, hand-held devices; servers; infrastructure assets (e.g., routers, switches); cloud based assets; cloud hosted assets; containers; networked user support devices, Internet Protocol (IP)-based telephony gear, copiers, printers, scanners, facsimile; computers that control physical devices such as thermostats, refrigerators, light switches, IoT, other OT, etc.);

(6) facilitates and handles growth as new technologies emerge, opportunities for consolidation are identified, new standards are accepted/established by the DoD, and new customers/customer demands arise and need to be met.

Information on the solution and available professional services is being sought.

The Cyber Sensing Portfolio Management Office is chartered with helping DoW customers leverage provided and emerging endpoint security solutions. The ACAS team identifies and implements scalable enterprise scanning solutions, provides engineering consultations, troubleshooting and other support, provides training, and continuously assesses emerging technologies and solutions to enhance capabilities. The ACAS team is committed to increasing the security posture of the DoW by providing tools that effectively assess and provide accurate information, enhance awareness, and enable compliance to defend and protect the United States of America.

The anticipated Period of Performance is:

· Base Year: January 1, 2029– December 31, 2029

· Option Year One: January 1, 2030 – December 31, 2030

· Option Year Two: January 1, 2031 – December 31, 2031

· Option Year Three: January 1, 2032 – December 31, 2032

· Option Year Four: January 1, 2033 – October 31, 2033

The anticipated Place of Performance is CONUS and OCONUS.
