About this opportunity
The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking comprehensive cybersecurity defense and Security Operations Management (CSSP) services for its enterprise infrastructure, including on-premises and cloud environments with DevSecOps ecosystems. The procurement encompasses critical activities such as cybersecurity boundary defense, intrusion detection monitoring, incident management, cyber threat analysis, security tool suite administration, forensic analysis, and continuous improvement optimization using managed services best practices. Respondents must demonstrate capabilities in Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), threat analysis, and 24/7 security operations support across the USTRANSCOM enterprise. The government will evaluate submissions based on technical capabilities, industry white papers addressing cyber operations planning and incident monitoring expertise, company qualifications, recommended contract vehicles, and acquisition strategy recommendations. The deadline for responses to this RFI is December 22, 2025, at 1000 CT, with submissions directed to transcom.scott.tcaq.mbx.TCAQ-DS@mail.mil.
No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement, which currently has an incumbent contractor, CSIOS Corporation, whose existing contract is valued at approximately $35.5 million and runs through September 2026. The anticipated contract vehicle will follow NAICS code 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services) with a small business size standard of $37.0 million in annual average receipts, and will be classified under PSC DA01 for IT and Telecom Business Application/Application Development Support Services. The new contract is anticipated to run from October 2026 through September 2031, with an estimated workload of approximately 100,000 labor hours annually and includes a transition period in August 2026, a base period from September 2026 to September 2027, and four potential option periods extending through September 2031. This RFI precedes a full solicitation and allows the government to gather industry insights before formal proposal submission requirements are issued.
