The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) sent out a new contract opportunity notice on May 11 seeking private sector interest in a five-year contract to support the agency’s VA Cybersecurity Operations Center (VA CSOC).

The VA CSOC functions to provide “world-class information security for VA and Veteran information and information systems” and is responsible for “the protection and resilience of the VA infrastructure on a 24×7 basis – by identifying, protecting, detecting, responding to, and recovering from cyber threats and vulnerabilities and providing value-added security management services as requested.”
