THE Department of Homeland Security is preparing to award a major new contract aimed at centralising and tightening the delivery of IT services across the department. The NCCS 2.0 vehicle—standing for Network, Cloud and Cybersecurity Services 2.0—will cover a broad suite of cloud, cybersecurity and network services, as well as various professional support functions.
The move signals DHS’s intent to streamline procurement and management of IT across the CIO’s office and selected components, consolidating oversight and execution under a single framework.
In early October the department planned to release the final solicitation, with a final award anticipated in late November. The draft request for proposals indicates a contract ceiling of $626 million. The stated purpose of NCCS 2.0 is to enable DHS to acquire “the full range of cybersecurity, network operations, management, and other professional support services” needed to support the department’s IT operations.
