The
National Cybersecurity Center of
Excellence (NCCoE), hosted by NIST, is
a public-private collaboration for
accelerating the widespread adoption of
integrated cybersecurity tools and
technologies. The NCCoE will bring
together experts from industry,
government, and academia under one
roof to develop practical, interoperable
cybersecurity approaches that address
the real world needs of complex
Information Technology (IT) systems.
By accelerating dissemination and use
of these integrated tools and
technologies for protecting IT assets, the
NCCoE will enhance trust in U.S. IT
communications, data, and storage
systems, lower risk for companies and
individuals in the use of IT systems, and
encourage development of innovative,
job-creating cybersecurity products and
services.
NIST has identified the need to
support the NCCoE’s mission through
the establishment of an FFRDC. In
evaluating the need for the FFRDC,
NIST determined that no existing
FFRDC or contract vehicles provide the
scope of services NIST requires. The
proposed NCCoE FFRDC will have three
primary purposes: (1) Research,
Development, Engineering, and
Technical support; (2) Program/Project
Management, to include but not limited
to expert advice and guidance in the
areas of program and project
management focused on increasing the
effectiveness and efficiency of
cybersecurity applications, prototyping,
demonstrations, and technical activities;
and (3) Facilities Management. The
proposed NCCoE FFRDC may also be
utilized by non-sponsors.
The FFRDC will be established under
the authority of 48 CFR 35.017.
The NCCoE FFRDC Contractor will be
available to provide a wide range of
support including, but not limited to:
• Research, Development,
Engineering and Technical Support:
Æ Establish relationships with private
sector organizations to use private sector
resources to accomplish tasks that are
integral to the operations and mission of
the NCCoE.
Æ Research and develop frameworks
and implementation strategies for
inducing industry to invest in and
expedite adoption of effective
cybersecurity controls and mechanisms
on an enterprise-wide scale; and in
collaboration with Federal and local
governments, deliver planning and
documentation support needed to
transfer technologies developed by
Federal cybersecurity organizations and
the NCCoE to production, integration,

economic development, and operational
implementation entities.
Æ Provide systems engineering
support to NCCoE programs and
proposed security platform
development, selection, and
implementation. This will include
NCCoE infrastructure, project planning,
project implementation, and technology
transfer components of the NCCoE’s
efforts to accelerate adoption of robust
cybersecurity technologies in the
government and private sectors.
Æ Generate technical expertise to
create a relevant cybersecurity
workforce in coordination with the
NCCoE staff and in close collaboration
with the National Initiative for
Cybersecurity Education and with
Federal government, university, and
industry participants and collaborators
in NCCoE activities.
Æ Deliver strategies and plans for
applying cybersecurity standards,
guidelines, and best practice
inducements and capabilities to both
government and private sectors.
• Program/Project Management:
Æ Work within the purpose, mission,
general scope, or competency as
assigned by the sponsoring agency.
Æ Develop and maintain in-depth
institutional knowledge of NCCoE
programs and operations in order to
maintain continuity in the field of
cybersecurity and to maintain a high
degree of competence, objectivity, and
independence in order to respond
effectively to the emerging cybersecurity
needs of the Nation.
• Facilities Management:
Æ In coordination with NCCoE staff,
and in collaboration with the State of
Maryland and Montgomery County,
Maryland, manage physical and logical
collaborative facilities to support the
acceleration and adoption of robust
cybersecurity technologies in the
government and private sectors. The
activity includes staff support for
information technology operations,
custodial functions, physical access
management, and maintenance
operations.
The FFRDC will partner with the
sponsoring agency in the design and
pursuit of mission goals; provide rapid
responsiveness to changing
requirements for personnel in all
aspects of strategic, technical and
program management; recognize
Government objectives as its own
objectives, partner in pursuit of
excellence in public service; and allow
for use of the FFRDC by non-sponsors.
We are publishing this notice in
accordance with 48 CFR 5.205(b) of the
Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR),
to enable interested members of the

proposed action. This is the first of three
notices issued under the authority of 48
CFR 5.205(b). In particular, we are
interested in feedback regarding the
proposed scope of the work to be
performed by the FFRDC, and the
presence of any existing private- or
public-sector capabilities in this area
that NIST should be considering.
It is anticipated that a Request for
Proposal (RFP) will be posted on
FedBizOpps in the Summer of 2013.
