The U.S. Army Regional Cyber Center Southwest Asia (USARCC-SWA), through the Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command, is procuring INFOSEC INSTITUTE Boot Camp training vouchers to provide comprehensive cybersecurity training and certification for DoD IT workforce personnel. This brand name only requirement seeks training for 77 IAT II and 50 IAT3/IAM3 personnel across various technical certifications including CISSP, CompTIA Security+, CCNA, PMP, and other cybersecurity-related credentials to support DoDD 8140.01 mandates. Vendors must be authorized partners or resellers of INFOSEC INSTITUTE to be eligible to bid, and the training must be delivered within 30 calendar days of contract award with flexible delivery options including onsite, online classroom, and self-paced formats. The solicitation requires responses by June 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST, with questions due by June 24, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST to SSG Noda Merly and SFC Wiley. The procurement includes exam vouchers with retake opportunities and 90-day extended access to Boot Camp components including class recordings and Cyber Range access.

The contract is set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) enterprises under NAICS code 611420 with a size standard of $16,000,000, though no specific incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The contract period extends from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, supporting USARCC-SWA's cyber operations across nine countries affecting over 10,000 workstations, 2,123 servers, and 5,000 users. Training delivery will accommodate 1-10 participants per course with a training start date of August 4, 2025, and must occur Monday through Friday between 07:30 and 17:00 hours. The primary place of performance is Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, with additional online delivery options available to support the geographically distributed workforce. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement is funded through FY25 Operations & Maintenance, Army (OMA) funds and addresses the critical need for maintaining DoD 8570/8140 certifications given the short 12-month average tour length for assigned soldiers.
