This means agencies beyond DoD and DHS have growing cybersecurity contract opportunities. To give you an example, the Department of Health and Human Services released an opportunity – IBM Passport Advantage Software Subscription and Support Services. Every agency has a need that only government contractors can fill, so if you want to look for opportunities like the DHHS example, there are two ways that you can find this opportunity.
Search Sam.gov
You can go to sam.gov and search for it. You can start by searching the keyword “cybersecurity.” If you know the agency and NAICS code, you can narrow it down, but what if you don’t know the agency? You will need to search each agency in the database. Even if you knew that the opportunity was under DHHS, you still need to sift through every opportunity. This is very time-consuming, so BC2Match offers a time-saving alternative.
