About this opportunity
The Army Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (PEO IEW&S) is conducting market research for cyber-related advisory and assistance support services to augment the Program Manager Defensive Cyber Operations (PM DCO) core government personnel. The procurement seeks experienced contractors to provide strategic program management support for defensive cyberspace operations, which includes preserving the ability to utilize blue cyberspace capabilities and protecting data, networks, and cyberspace-enabled devices against malicious activity. Key requirements include Top Secret facility clearance, DoD 8570.01-M certified workforce, CMMI Level 3 certification, and various professional certifications for managers and technical personnel. Work will primarily be conducted at Fort Belvoir, Virginia and Fort Eisenhower, Georgia, supporting ten Programs of Record including Cyber Analytics, User Activity Monitoring, and Defensive Cyber Operations Tools Suite. All interested parties must submit their Request for Information responses within five business days of the June 11, 2025 publication date to Kimberly M. Barnes at the specified email address. The government emphasizes this is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to procure services.
This opportunity is designated as a Competitive 8(a) set-aside, targeting small disadvantaged businesses for participation. The Performance Work Statement references Kwaan Bear IT Solutions (KBITS) as the current contractor performing similar services under task order W519TC-23-F-0344, suggesting they may be the incumbent provider. The anticipated period of performance spans from August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2026 for the initial period, though the referenced PWS indicates a potential structure of one 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods totaling 60 months. The contract will support three primary task areas: General Support, Technical Management Support, and Program Management Support, with personnel requiring various security clearances and specific technical expertise in cybersecurity, systems engineering, and network architecture. No specific contract values or budget ranges are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as this represents an early market research phase rather than a formal solicitation.
