Women-owned small businesses were clearly heard, as, after a series of market research activities in late 2022 and early 2023, the Department of Homeland Security recently announced its intent to compete this 5-year multiple-award digital transformation support blanket purchase agreement as a woman-owned small business set-aside action. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency hosted an industry day last week, with more than 200 companies registered to attend and learn more about this important 5-year contract to support the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, to include the CISA OCIO, MEOs and Divisions, as they seek to implement innovative transformation technologies and support services to address current and anticipated challenges across the agency.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a focus for this BPA, CISA is seeking to establish innovative digital transformation technologies and support services to address several current and anticipated challenges, which include the need for the following: Centrally managed and delivered IT capabilities through cross-agency coordination and collaboration; Innovate and rapidly execute as a unified agency across mission areas; Employ best engineering and security practices that support rapid responsiveness to emerging threats and technology capabilities; and to Establish transparency and accountability in the planning, delivery, and completion of large-scale enterprise-wide IT initiatives<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CISA is currently planning to make four awards on this multiple-award contract. The notional timeline for the competition is included below but do note that these dates are subject to change.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
