The C5ISRT Division is responsible for the cybersecurity of a large and diverse portfolio of mission-critical systems. This portfolio supports a wide range of stakeholders, including OPNAV N95, PMW 130, PMW 150, PMW 160, PMW 170, PMW 770, PMW 790, PMS 406, PMS 408, PMS 420, PMS 385, PMS 485, PMS 495, USFFC-NECC, USFFC-NSW, NCIS, PAE Mission Systems, PAE Maritime, PEO Ships, Amphibious Assault and Connectors Program, PEO Digital, Office of Naval Research (ONR) Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps.
The complexity and persistent evolution of modern cyber threats necessitate specialized technical expertise to supplement the existing government workforce. The operational landscape demands a strategic evolution beyond traditional, static compliance models toward a dynamic, threat-informed, and resilient Cyber Ready posture. This forward-leaning approach is essential to guaranteeing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all designated Department of Defense (DoD) information systems, networks, and data, thereby ensuring mission assurance in the face of sophisticated adversaries.
The Contractor shall provide all qualified personnel, supervision, and services required to execute a comprehensive, full-lifecycle cybersecurity program. This effort encompasses all C5ISRT systems, networks, applications, and data across all operating environments, including on-premises data centers, cloud platforms, and the tactical edge. The scope requires a proactive “secure-by-design” philosophy, focusing on operational risk management, cyber survivability, and the seamless integration of security into all phases of the system lifecycle.
The services to be performed include, but are not limited to, strategic advisory, policy and risk analysis, security engineering and architecture, threat intelligence, advanced vulnerability management, proactive security operations, compliance auditing, and workforce training. This program supports a wide range of critical systems and initiatives executed for NSWC PCD as well as for the key stakeholders mentioned above.
