This document contains a series of clarification questions and responses related to a federal grant opportunity titled "Foreign Assistance Leveraged for Cybersecurity Operational Needs - FALCON" (Solicitation Number: DFOP0016632).
The grant opportunity is a cooperative agreement funded by the U.S. Department of State's Cyberspace and Digital Policy program (CFDA 19.665) to establish a reservoir of commercial cybersecurity and technology capabilities that can be used to support U.S. allies and partners in preventing, responding to, mitigating, and recovering from cybersecurity incidents. The document provides clarification on how the contracted services will be communicated and utilized, the anticipated volume of incident response requests, the project design and evaluation criteria, page limits for the scope of work, and the potential use of subcontractors from the applicant's corporate group. The responses indicate that the Department of State will coordinate the use of implementers and choose the most appropriate one for each event.
