About this opportunity

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source bridge contract to SANS Institute for cyber training services. The contract will have a six-month base period with two potential one-month options. This opportunity falls under the Computer Training NAICS category (611420) and is specifically focused on providing supplemental cyber training for law enforcement personnel involved in computer intrusion investigations. The training will cover investigative work related to computers, cellular telephones, tablets, networks, and internet-based technologies. The contract is being pursued under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, which allows for a non-competitive procurement process.

Interested contractors have until 4:00 PM Central Time on January 10, 2025, to submit their capabilities statements via email to the specified Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist. The FBI emphasizes that this notice is not a competitive proposal request, but rather an opportunity for potential contractors to express interest. Contractors should be aware that the government retains full discretion in determining whether to compete the proposed contract based on responses received. No reimbursement will be provided for submitted information, and the agency will not honor requests for capability briefings. Contractors submitting information must appropriately mark any proprietary data. Ultimately, the primary objective is to secure cyber training services for law enforcement personnel with expertise in digital investigation techniques, with SANS Institute positioned as the incumbent contractor for this bridge contract.
