Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) / Zero Trust Implementation

The contract requires the implementation of Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) and Zero Trust architecture across Department of Defense systems managed by DCSO Philadelphia, with a focus on establishing robust identity lifecycle management throughout the user and device provisioning, authentication, access, and deprovisioning processes. The work must align with federal cybersecurity frameworks to ensure full compliance with mandated standards for secure access, continuous monitoring, and least-privilege enforcement across all networked environments. The effort is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512, indicating a focus on computer systems design services, and will be performed in Philadelphia, targeting the modernization of DLA’s security posture through dynamic access controls, multi-factor authentication, device trust verification, and real-time policy enforcement. The implementation must support interoperability with existing DOD infrastructure while maintaining strict adherence to evolving federal cybersecurity directives, ensuring resilience against insider threats and external breaches through a zero trust model that assumes no implicit trust within or outside the network perimeter.
