Competition under the Homeland Security Department’s $6 billion cyber contract will be especially fierce over the coming months, with fewer than expected awards for continuous monitoring products and services.
Rather than selecting multiple winners for its upcoming string of task orders, DHS is expected to make single awards. The next six task orders will cover products and services needs for multiple agencies, which will mean big business for the winning vendors.
“We were all somewhat surprised there would be single awards, based on size and complexity and lumping multiple agencies in” a single task order, said Matt Brown, vice president for homeland security and cyber solutions at KCG. The products and services will vary by department, and the time needed to integrate the solutions will not be an insignificant amount of work, Brown said.
