    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Maryland Air National Guard, seeks vendor responses for an important project. They require an automated system to deploy Cyber Vulnerability Assessment/Hunt (CVA/H) weapons, also needing installation, configuration, and customization of the software.

    The Guard aims to achieve efficiency by employing a solution that operates independently of users, with the capability to install and configure the CVA/H system's BIOS, RAID, and Virtual Machines, along with the ability to run post-setup scripts in a controlled environment. Notably, the system must be self-sufficient and cannot be based in the cloud.

    In addition to the technical requirements, the vendor will be responsible for conducting user training, providing round-the-clock tech support, and making any necessary software customizations. The Guard requests that interested parties provide capability statements and examples of previous successful projects.

    This sources sought notice does not guarantee any awards or contracts, and expenses will not be reimbursed. Interested vendors are encouraged to respond with the requested information, including company details and relevant certifications, using the provided email.

    For any clarifications or questions, vendors can contact SMSgt Michael Dombkiewicz via email at michael.dombkiewicz.1@us.af.mil.
