The Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AO) has a mission to support the federal judiciary (judiciary) and the public it serves by providing various services and support functions to the courts and organizations that are part of the judiciary. For this requirement, the AO's Department of Technology Services (DTS) Systems Development and Support Office (SDSO) Training Division (TD, collectively, SDSO-TD) has a requirement for a Cyber Range for training purposes. SDSO-TD's mission is to develop and deliver IT training, both in-person and online, for nationally supported technologies and applications to meet the operational needs of judges, court staff, and AO employees. In addition, the SDSO-TD delivers cybersecurity training to the approximately 1000 IT professionals within the Federal Court community. SDSO-TD is looking to enhance the cybersecurity skills of IT personnel through the hands-on use of supported tools and techniques. This request for proposal (RFP) is soliciting responses from qualified vendors (“Offerors”) to provide virtual cyber range services to the SDSO-TD. The cyber range should allow for SDSO-TD trainers to conduct live, virtual training events with congruent operating models supporting custom hands-on training on cybersecurity tools.
