On July 5, the U.S. Department of Energy posted a sources sought notice for technical support for its cyber research, development, test, and evaluation activities (Solicitation Number: 312686-JC-18MSTS). Responses are due by 8:00 a.m. Pacific on July 18.

The San Diego Office has select areas of interest in research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) of certain cyber (hardware and software) technologies and activities. These areas of interest provide support to US Government in efforts in Counter-Proliferation/Counter-Terrorism, Cyber Security and other areas. This requires the San Diego Office and associated support entities, to constantly acquire, sustain, and leverage cutting edge technological capabilities, techniques, and non-traditional methodologies of integration and use.

This vehicle will enable the San Diego office to transition and apply highly specialized knowledge, unique skill-sets and cutting edge software tools to Cyber RDT&E, cyber security, information aggregation, computer network engineering and other efforts as required.
