CISA Prepares >$100M Alliant 2 Cyber Hygiene Support Recompete
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is preparing a task order recompete valued over $100 million for integrated assessment and cyber hygiene services via GSA Alliant 2. The expanded vehicle supports CISA’s vulnerability management mission across federal and critical infrastructure networks.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has outlined procurement plans for a major recompete of its Integrated Cybersecurity Assessments and Hygiene Support Services requirement. Set for release on or around January 30 via the GSA Alliant 2 vehicle, the task order's ceiling is expected to surpass $100 million. This represents a significant expansion in scale and scope from the predecessor contract, reflecting CISA’s growing operational mandates in proactive network defense and threat mitigation across the federal civilian executive branch and critical infrastructure sectors.
NTT Data Federal Services holds the incumbent position, having originally secured the baseline award in 2020. CISA recently extended NTT Data’s contract through March 2027, maintaining continuity while preparing the enlarged solicitation. To date, approximately $41.6 million has been obligated under the current iteration. The incoming requirement will consolidate technical assessments, operational evaluations, cyber hygiene monitoring, and enablement activities into a modernized, scalable support vehicle for CISA’s Vulnerability Management Subdivision.
For defense and civilian agency leadership, the expansion of CISA’s cyber hygiene posture signals tighter baseline security requirements and more rigorous, continuous vulnerability scanning across federal enterprise systems. As CISA scales its vulnerability identification capabilities, federal agencies and defense industrial base partners should anticipate increased reporting expectations, faster remediation timelines, and deeper integration with CISA’s automated assessment tools. This contract serves as the backbone for national cyber exposure management, directly impacting federal cyber risk scoring and proactive defense mandates.
For industry contractors on Alliant 2, this solicitation represents a high-value opportunity to shape federal cybersecurity delivery. The expanded $100M+ scope underscores DHS's preference for unified technical services over fragmented task orders. Prime contractors vying for the award must demonstrate advanced automated assessment techniques, threat intelligence integration, and high-throughput hygiene testing capabilities. System integrators and niche cybersecurity vendors should evaluate teaming strategies early ahead of the January draft release to meet CISA's aggressive operational cadence.
