US Army aims to consolidate cyber centre management
Army seeks a single contractor to manage its five regional centres
US Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) has issued an RfI to industry as it seeks a single contractor to manage its five regional cybersecurity centres (RCCs).
Interested parties must respond by 7 December. The eventual deal could be worth more than $100 million.
ARCYBER covers the global with five RCCs, each of which manages unclassified (NIPRNet) and classified (SIPRNet) DoD networks.
The RCCs are also tasked with detecting, disrupting, and deterring enemy cyber operations.
Management of each RCC is currently outsourced to a separate contractor: Directviz Solutions, Northrop Grumman, Laulima Government Solutions, Agile Defense and RS3.
Consolidation into a single contract would help ARCYBER to standardise operations, according to a DoD document attached to the RfI notice.
‘This consolidated contract should demonstrate unique solutions to enhance the speed at which the Army globally responds to cyberspace incidents while improving methods to secure the environment preventing the incidents in the first place,’ the DoD added.
