Competition
New Requirement, No Contract
No incumbent. A new requirement means nobody is defending a position here, and no one has an insider’s head start on the scope.

Who to talk to

At the forecast stage there is no active procurement, so contact is welcome rather than restricted — this is the one window where a direct conversation is straightforwardly appropriate.

The Small Business Specialist is usually the better first call. Helping firms like yours find and compete for this work is their actual job, and they can tell you whether a set-aside is still under consideration.

Statement of work, as posted

The OASIS+ domain is Management & Advisory. The Contractor shall provide CISA's Infrastructure Security Division (ISD) with full-spectrum cybersecurity exercise support services in accordance with Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) guidelines. HSEEP defines two types of exercises: discussion-based and operations-based. Discussion-based exercises familiarize players with plans, policies, agreements, and procedures. Examples of these exercises are seminars, workshops, facilitated discussions, tabletop exercises (TTX), and games. Operations-based exercises validate the plans, policies, agreements, and procedures that were reviewed in the discussion-based exercises. Examples of operations-based exercises are drills, functional exercises (FE), and full-scale exercises (FSE). Cybersecurity Exercises include providing a wide spectrum of skills ranging from programmatic and administrative support (program management, front office support, meeting planning and technical document development) to critical exercise specific skills (scenario development, cyber subject matter expertise, exercise facilitation, and critical infrastructure knowledge).
