On June 18, the U.S. Army posted a sources sought notice for Deployable Defensive Cyberspace Operations System – Modular version 2 (DDS-Mv2). Responses are due by 2:00 p.m. Eastern on June 26, according to SAM.gov.
The Army Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (PEO IEW&S), PM DCO is seeking information from potential sources for experienced cyber-related advisory and assistance support services to augment PM DCO’s core Government personnel to support the missions of the PM DCO and its customers. PM DCO mission is to equip the U.S. Army cyber defender and warfighter with advanced, agile, and flexible cyberspace infrastructure, platforms, and tools to quickly deliver effects.
The PM DCO mission dictates a very unique set of cyber requirements, both operationally and tactically. Defensive cyberspace operations are defined as missions to preserve the ability to utilize blue cyberspace capabilities and protect data, networks, cyberspace-enabled devices, and other designated systems by defeating on-going or imminent malicious cyberspace activity. Defensive cyberspace operations include passive and active cyberspace operations intended to preserve the ability to protect data, networks, net-centric capabilities, and other Department of Defense (DoD) designated systems. Active cyberspace defense includes hunting for advanced internal threats, along with internal responses to those threats.
All responsible sources may submit a quotation and technical capabilities, which, if received within five (05) business days of publication of this notice, shall be reviewed by PEO IEW&S DCO.
The goal of this market research is to gain insight into vendors that can supply a Deployable Defensive Cyber Operations System that is modular. The vendor must have the capability to configure and deliver components of the DDS-Mv2 system, which needs to be mobile and able to compute-and-data-storage system that supports the Cyber Protection Team’s virtualized software deployable platforms.
The DDS-Mv2 system provides a rapid deployment capability to execute the DCO mission anywhere in the world that allows for up to 10 Gbps per second of compute and storage resources needed to host an array of virtualized DCO tools in a multitude of theaters of operation. The system is intended to integrate with Non-classified Internet Protocol (IP) Router Network (NIPRNet), Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), and other mission partner networks.
Review the DDS-Mv2 sources sought.
