- Description
- Update: 19 May 2020 The Government intends to utilize an Other Transaction in accordance with 10 U.S.C. �2371b for this requirement. All interested companies shall will be required to identify its nontraditional defense contractor status or its ability to meet the eligibility requirements of 10 U.S.C. �2371b.� The vendor will be required to fall in one of the following categories: 1) There is at least one nontraditional defense contractor or nonprofit research institution participation to a significant extent in the project; 2) All significant participants in the transaction other than the Federal Government are small businesses or nontraditional defense contractors; or 3) At least one third of the total cost of the project is to be provided by sources other than the Federal Government. A nontraditional defense contractor is defined as an entity that is not currently performing and has not performed, for at least one-year period preceding the solicitation of sources by the Department of Defense (DoD) for the procurement or transaction, any contract or subcontract for the DoD that is subject to full coverage under the cost accounting standards prescribed pursuant to 41 U.S.C �1502 and the regulations implementing such section. Product Manager Cyber Resiliency and Training (PdM CRT) intends to seek vendors through a Cyber Innovation Challenge #4 (CIC #4) to rapidly integrate innovative and novel capabilities into the Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE) platform. A forthcoming CIC #4 Request for White Paper (RWP) will require prospective vendors to submit proposals at the unclassified level but which will require operation at the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI).� This CIC #4 notice to industry projects future opportunity for candidate best-of-breed solutions across the following focus areas to address emerging United States Cyber Command (USCC) operational priorities: CMF Assessment:� Requires a means for PCTE platform capability to develop assessment plans and criterion (tied to mission tasks, objectives, roles, qualifications, skillsets, etc), automated measurements, metrics and data collection (quantitative and qualitative), and overall reporting, visualization, analytics and roll-up at specific event and across individual & team training history. Specific areas of interest include the following: Assessment Planning Tool Scoring Criteria/Engine Assessment Repository & Data Collection/Instrumentation Assessment Analytics, Visualizations and Dashboards Assessment Aggregation and External Reporting Traffic Generation:� Requires a means for the PCTE platform to define, shape, control, and record realistic traffic emulation capabilities as a self-service capability across the plan-prepare-execute-assess lifecycle of cyberspace operations training events. Varying degrees of traffic realism and fidelity is expected across IP layers, protocols, and devices across user, host and network based activities that serve to mirror real world activities and terrain. These capabilities are also supportive of saving traffic profiles for re-usability across events, real time command and control of parameters, and visualization of live and recorded feeds. Prospective solutions should augment PCTE network build capabilities as a potential overlay onto defined blue, grey, and red space network templates and cover broad range of real world network profiles (e.g. printers, internet of things (IoT), Wifi, cloud space, LTE, social media, encryption, and other IP protocols).� Specific areas of interest include the following: Host/User-based Traffic Activity Agents Cyber Traffic Terrain (IoT, printers, network classes/enclaves, etc) Network Traffic Layers Information Operations and Social Media Layer Traffic Command and Control Dashboards (C2) The projected RWP is scheduled to be released 4QFY20 with subsequent award scheduled for 1QFY21. Additional information to include proposal submission, selection process and Government Furnished Information will be posted at a later date.�
