Upcoming Contracts

[su_spacer size=”5″] [su_row] [su_column size=”1/4″] [/su_column] [su_column size=”3/4″] We are tracking two opportunities which are expected to drop this summer. Expected in June, Navy SPAWAR is releasing the Cyber Mission Engineering Services (CME) contract to support Navy and Marine projects. In August, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) expects the release of the Applications Development, Engineering, and Sustainment contract (formerly EADIS). Find more details on these contracts below, as well as our key takeaways.[/su_column] [/su_row]

Red Team’s Take: This is one of three new cyber IDIQs out of Navy SPAWAR that are expected in FY 2017. Navy released a Draft RFP and are expected to provide updates to the evaluation criteria during the Industry Day scheduled for May 15th. With that level of detail, it is expected that the Final RFP will not have significant changes, so if you are interested, begin working against the Draft RFP. Note that a Top Secret Facility Clearance is required. And be prepared to staff! The contract expects approximately 200 TS/SCI cleared personnel.
