CISA Infrastructure Security Exercise Support Services

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Infrastructure Security Division seeks comprehensive support services to design, plan, and execute full-spectrum infrastructure exercises aligned with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program guidelines. These exercises encompass both discussion-based formats—such as seminars, workshops, tabletop exercises, and games—and operations-based formats including drills, functional exercises, and full-scale drills, all aimed at testing and enhancing emergency preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities. The contractor will provide end-to-end support covering program management, strategic planning, stakeholder coordination, technical documentation, research and analysis, exercise-specific training, and the logistical and communications planning required for both virtual and physical exercise environments. Support services must include robust administrative and front-office functions to ensure seamless operations, with emphasis on facilitating interagency collaboration and clear communication across federal, state, and local partners. The contract is targeted toward small businesses and falls under NAICS code 541690 for other scientific and technical consulting services. Performance will be centered in Arlington, Virginia, with all inquiries directed to designated points of contact at CISA. The requirement underscores a critical need for expert facilitation of exercises that validate infrastructure resilience and emergency protocols, ensuring national security readiness through rigorous, standardized, and repeatable evaluation methods.
