About this opportunity
The United States Space Force is procuring a Cyber Training and Education Pilot (CTEP) to deliver comprehensive cyber instruction for four Cyber Guardians through the Department of the Air Force Headquarters District Washington. The program requires approximately 416 hours of immersive, in-residence training covering both red-team offensive and blue-team defensive cyber operations, including ethical hacking, vulnerability management, Python scripting, and hands-on cyber lab exercises culminating in a 100-hour capstone event. Instruction must be provided by certified instructors holding specific certifications (CCNP, CEH, OSCE3, GIAC Exploit Researcher, GXPN) and must be accredited by a recognized academic institution, preferably one within the Space Force University Partnership Program. The evaluation will assess technical capability using a color-coded rating system, past performance for recency and relevance, and price, with non-price factors being significantly more important than cost considerations. The original deadline for quotes was September 10, 2025, but was extended to September 19, 2025 at 1:00 PM EST, with questions originally due September 4, 2025.
The solicitation was initially designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, but this designation was dissolved through a solicitation amendment, opening the competition to all eligible contractors. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the documentation. The training program must accommodate four Space Force personnel and be completed within five months of the start date, which must occur no later than September 29, 2025. The training must be conducted at a contractor facility or mutually agreed location within the Continental United States, with remote delivery explicitly not acceptable. Performance will take place in Maryland, USA, according to the solicitation details.
