Northrop Grumman gets US-CERT deal
The indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract could be worth as much as $350 million over five years.
The Department of Homeland Security awarded a five-year contract worth as much as $350 million to Northrop Grumman to provide services to the department’s cyberattack response team.
The indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract will support DHS' U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team, the operational arm of the agency's National Cyber Security Division.
US-CERT analyzes and reports on cyberthreats and coordinates incidence response among the federal government, intelligence community, international partners, state and local agencies, law enforcement, and the private sector.
Northrop Grumman did not elaborate on the specific services it would provide, although sources familiar with the contract said it is unrelated to the company's recent award under DHS' continuous diagnostics and mitigation contracts.
In mid-January, Northrop Grumman was one of 17 companies selected to provide CDM services under a multiple-award contract that could be worth as much as $6 billion. Four companies received task orders worth $60 million; Northrop Grumman's order was valued at $15.8 million.
