United States : New contract represents new procurement model for CYBERCOM

Publish Date : 27-May-2016

The lead command for military cyber operations, the General Services Administration and Cyber Command has declared the winners of a multi-award contract to offer "a broad scope of services needed to support the U.S. Cyber Command mission."

Contracting officers obtained 17 proposals from the October RFP but just six vendors were offered spots on the $460 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract, which would run from the date of the award May 20 through May 19, 2021.

The new contract also signifies a new procurement model for CYBERCOM, using an internal, pre-competed contract vehicle to accelerate procurements instead of depending on traditional, time-consuming methods.

The procurement model is a move Frank Kendall, undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, championed in 2015 with the launch of a Cyber Investment Management Board.

Kendall said in October 2015, "I have a group called the Cyber Investment Management Board, which oversees cyber investments, and it was set up partly because of the need to have very rapid and agile investments in cyber in some areas. And, to not use the traditional system."
