Senior Information Security Officer (SISO)

The U.S. Transportation Command, under the Department of Defense, is pursuing a Small Business Set-Aside solicitation for a Senior Information Security Officer (SISO) to support the Transcom J6 directorate at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, under NAICS code 541519. The procurement is structured as a Firm Fixed Price task order with a separate Time and Materials line item for travel, targeting small businesses exclusively in accordance with FAR 19.5. Although the official solicitation has not yet been issued and proposals are not currently being accepted, a draft acquisition strategy outlines a phased evaluation process with three key factors: Technical Phase I, which includes corporate experience, technical capability through a government-provided scenario, and staffing; Price; and Streamlined Past Performance for the apparent awardee. The evaluation will follow FAR 16.505 and result in a subjective best value determination. Key milestones include the issuance of the solicitation on May 1, 2026, with Phase I proposals due by June 1, 2026, and a proposed award date of August 28, 2026. The place of performance is confirmed as Scott AFB, IL, with a zip code of 62225, and the primary point of contact is Darrah Hill, reachable via email and phone. All formal requirements, including deliverables, inspection criteria, contract administration details, and submission instructions, remain pending in the final Request for Quotation, which will supersede the preliminary guidance currently available. The posted deadline in the metadata of June 23, 2026, appears inconsistent with the draft phase-one due date, reinforcing that final details are not yet locked.
