Contract Opportunity

Scope of Work

The contractor will be required to equip and furnish two ISE servers and all supporting equipment as listed in Deliverables section.

Objectives

• Supports life cycle support for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst AFIN.


• Increases reliability and sustainability of the base network.

Contractor Responsibilities

The selected contractor shall:

1. Ensure STIG Compliance: Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) set rigorous security standards for government and military networks. As STIG requirements are updated to address new vulnerabilities and threats, legacy Cisco ISE appliances may become non-compliant due to outdated firmware, unsupported configurations, or limited security patch availability. Upgrading to a newer appliance ensures adherence to the latest STIG requirements, safeguarding network integrity and security posture.
