About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) forecasts a new requirement, with an estimated solicitation release date of 2026-07-01 and an estimated award date of 2026-09-01, for Aurora Defense (formerly known as Cylance) endpoint security services. The description states that NIDCR requires security assessment and scanning of machines that go on foreign travel before they connect to the NIH network, per HHS policy. Aurora/Cylance will also serve as NIDCR's anti-virus software, which the description says protects NIDCR data and avoids the usability and endpoint protection gaps the requester attributes to other alternatives when machines are off the network. The forecast is listed as No Set-Aside Used under NAICS 541519, Other Computer Related Services.
The estimated award value range is $25,000 to $250,000. The source does not specify quantities, performance periods, or place of performance.

Forecast text
NIDCR requires Aurora Defense (Formally known as Cylance) to conduct security assessment for machines that are going on foreign travel and must be scanned prior to connecting to the NIH network per the HHS policy. Aurora/Cylance will allow NIDCR to meet this new government requirement while reducing the level of burden on staff to comply. Aurora/Cylance will also be used as the anti-virus software at NIDCR thus serving a dual purpose and protecting NIDCR's data. Other alternatives do not provide the same usability or endpoint protection when machines are not connected to the network
