Sources Sought for Defense Industrial Base Network (DIBNet) - Development and Sustainment

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Cyber Program Executive Office is seeking sources for the development and sustainment of the Defense Industrial Base Network (DIBNet), a critical cybersecurity information sharing platform connecting the Department of Defense with Defense Industrial Base partners. The sources sought notice targets businesses with expertise in full system development life-cycle services, including requirements development, integration, testing, certification, and operations. Qualified businesses must possess a Secret Facility Clearance and are invited to submit capability statements demonstrating their technical competence by June 4, 2024. The next generation DIBNet platform will utilize machine-to-machine data sharing capabilities using STIX and TAXII standards, with the goal of enhancing cybersecurity collaboration across the defense sector. DISA will evaluate potential sources based on their technical capabilities, clearance status, and demonstrated experience in cybersecurity information sharing platforms.

The anticipated contract period spans from June 28, 2025 to June 27, 2029, structured with a base period and four option years under the NAICS category 541519 for Computer Related Services. There are currently no specific set-aside designations for this procurement, indicating the opportunity is open to a broad range of qualified contractors. While specific award values were not disclosed in the sources sought notice, the comprehensive scope of the DIBNet development and sustainment project suggests a significant potential contract value. The procurement will focus on replacing the current DIBNet platform with a more advanced, secure, and interoperable system capable of efficiently sharing cyber threat information between DoD and its industrial base partners. Interested businesses are encouraged to carefully review the detailed requirements and prepare comprehensive capability statements that demonstrate their technical expertise and capacity to support this critical cybersecurity initiative.
