Advanced Technology Protection Services

The government authority in Washington, DC is seeking advanced technology protection services to safeguard critical sectors and enhance national security. The agency is trying to solve vulnerabilities related to predatory foreign investment and the exploitation of advanced technology, border infrastructure, data, and critical mineral sectors. To address these challenges, the agency requires bilateral and regional technical assistance, regional coordination to harmonize enforcement, and government-to-industry outreach to promote voluntary compliance. The scope of work covers mentoring, technical reach-back support, and capability development assistance to establish specialized units focused on advanced technology protection. The selected partner must also support the development and implementation of national security-focused foreign direct investment screening mechanisms. Additionally, the agency requires the provision of equipment and subscriptions to mitigate risks in the targeted sectors. Bidders must perform all work onsite and must meet onshore eligibility rules requiring a United States presence. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit.
