I. Introduction

On behalf of United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM) is releasing the attached Questionnaire (Attachment B), Corporate Capabilities Package (Attachment C) and Corporate Experience Sheets (Attachment D) to assist the Government in conducting market research.

FEDSIM is partnering with USCYBERCOM to develop a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle dedicated to providing mission support services to USCYBERCOM and the Cyber National Mission Force (CNMF).

II. Program Title

United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)

III. Background

USCYBERCOM is charged with unifying existing cyberspace resources, creating synergy that does not currently exist and synchronizing war-fighting effects to defend the information security environment.

USCYBERCOM centralizes command of cyberspace operations, strengthens DoD cyberspace capabilities, and integrates and bolsters DoD’s cyber expertise. Consequently, USCYBERCOM improves the DoD’s capabilities to ensure resilient, reliable information and communication networks, counter cyberspace threats, and assure access to cyberspace.

USCYBERCOM’s efforts will also support the Armed Services’ ability to confidently conduct high-tempo, effective operations as well as protect command and control systems and the cyberspace infrastructure supporting weapons system platforms from disruptions, intrusions and attacks.

USCYBERCOM is a sub-unified command subordinate to United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). The CNMF is a USCYBERCOM Joint Force Headquarters and the United States military’s first joint tactical command with a dedicated mission focused on cyberspace operations: to plan, direct and synchronize cyberspace operations to deter, deny, and if necessary, defeat adversary cyber actors to defend the nation.

IV. Scope

The scope of this requirement is to address IT solutions and services across multiple technical and non-technical disciplines to include Command and Control (C2), Intelligence, and Mission support areas, and to all elements of the DoD Information Networks (DODIN) and Joint Information Environment (JIE) in support of the United States Cyber Command mission. The IT solutions and services requirements should additionally address capabilities, knowledge, and expertise in the full range of technologies, intelligence, training and exercises, and business areas needed to support USCYBERCOM’s operational mission.

USCYBERCOM has three main focus areas:

1. Defending the DoD Information Networks (DoDIN);

2. Providing support to combatant commanders (COCOM) for execution of their missions around the world; and

3. Strengthening our nation’s ability to withstand and respond to a strategic cyber-attack.
