Cybersecurity Support Services RFI

The Department of Defense's Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) Acquisition Directorate has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for Cybersecurity Support Services on behalf of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA). This special notice, posted on October 24, 2025, invites industry vendors to submit market research input regarding a potential future solicitation for cybersecurity support. The RFI is not a guarantee of a subsequent contract award but rather serves as a mechanism for the government to gather information about industry capabilities and approaches. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 541519 with a $34 million size standard, indicating the potential scale of the anticipated procurement.

Potential respondents are required to submit a draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) by November 25, 2025, at 10 a.m. EST to the designated email address, with responses structured around four main areas: Objective and Scope, Performance Standards and Metrics, Deliverables with timelines, and Specific Tasks covering basic services. Vendors should outline their proposed cybersecurity approach, including measurable objectives, key performance indicators, and detailed deliverables aligned with Department of Defense standards. There are no specific eligibility restrictions stated; however, respondents must ensure submissions contain no proprietary or classified information. The underlying initiative aims to modernize DSCA's cybersecurity posture through automation and Policy-as-Code capabilities, with anticipated outcomes including a 25–50% reduction in manual compliance actions, implementation of automated policy compliance checks, real-time monitoring dashboards, and scalable automation templates deployable across all DSCA systems within 12 months.
