Communications, Network, Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Information Technology Services (CNECTS), aka "Connects"

The CNECTS CSO is a 100 % small‑business set‑aside commercial solutions opening to consolidate four legacy communications contracts supporting the 21st Communications Squadron at Peterson SFB, Schriever SFB, and Cheyenne Mountain SFS. The award will be a single‑award, fixed‑price contract covering enterprise‑wide network operations, cybersecurity, IT services, and workforce transition for roughly 400 technical contractors. The effort will span a one‑year base period with up to five one‑year options and a six‑month extension, targeting a total contract value near $330 million. • Consolidates multiple existing contracts into one enterprise‑wide services contract. • Requires extensive network engineering, cybersecurity (NIST 800‑171, CMMC Level I), ITSM/help‑desk, and legacy systems sustainment. • Must staff 24 × 7 operations, maintain secret/TS‑SCI clearances, and meet strict response‑time metrics for incident handling.
