The Department of Defense, specifically the Army Contracting Command, has issued a Special Notice inviting proposals for the establishment of a Forensics and Malware Analysis Laboratory. The initiative, part of a collaboration with the Cyber Fusion Innovation Center and U.S. Army Cyber Command, aims to strengthen cyber defense capabilities through enhanced malware analysis and incident response capabilities. Key components of the project include building an infrastructure to support secure forensic operations, designing a comprehensive case management framework to track evidence and enhance collaboration, and implementing an automation and integration framework to streamline forensic processes. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical approach and project management experience, with a scoring system that emphasizes technical merit. The submission window opens on January 17, 2025, and closes on February 17, 2025, with subsequent phases for review and selection culminating in virtual presentations from March 18 to March 20. The selected contractors may be considered for contract awards beginning in April 2025. The overall goal is to secure state-of-the-art capabilities to combat the escalating complexity of cyber threats while facilitating rapid and comprehensive investigations across Army networks.
