Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 CISA 123 ISAC000001
The State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT) Security Operations Center (SOC) and Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) cooperative agreement is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) opportunity administered through CISA (CFDA 97.123) that is aimed at strengthening cybersecurity collaboration across the SLTT community and the critical infrastructure organizations that support it. At its core, the program is designed to build and sustain a trusted, volunteer-based network where members can rapidly exchange cyber threat and defensive information that is practical and immediately usable. The central idea is that SLTT entities and their partners are better protected when they operate as a connected community rather than as isolated organizations, especially when facing fast-moving threats like ransomware, credential theft, and exploitation of newly disclosed vulnerabilities.
The funded effort focuses on sharing timely, actionable, and relevant cyber information about threats, incidents, and vulnerabilities. That includes concrete technical artifacts such as indicators of compromise (for example malicious IP addresses, domains, file hashes, and email sender patterns), as well as higher-level intelligence such as adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). In addition to raw threat data, the ISAC is expected to distribute guidance that helps members act on what they are seeing, including mitigation strategies, recommended security controls, response playbooks, and best practices. Importantly, information sharing is described as happening through both people and machines, which signals that the awardee is expected to support human-to-human collaboration (analyst discussions, coordination calls, incident coordination) as well as machine-enabled sharing and technical integration that can speed distribution and use of threat intelligence.
A defining requirement of the opportunity is operating and advancing a 24x7 SOC-capable ISAC function for the SLTT ecosystem. This implies continuous monitoring and readiness to triage, analyze, and communicate developing threats at any hour, rather than operating only during standard business times. The SOC/ISAC role is positioned as a hub that can collect information from members and partners, turn it into usable situational awareness, and push tailored alerts and recommendations back out to the community. The emphasis is not just on collecting data, but on improving the capacity of the SLTT trusted circle to understand risk and make decisions based on current conditions.
The awardee is also expected to maintain ongoing engagement with external partners to broaden visibility and improve coordination. Those partners explicitly include federal government entities, law enforcement, the vendor community, other ISACs, and relevant associations. This external engagement supports two goals: improving cyber situational awareness (knowing what is happening now and what is likely next) and enabling risk-based decision-making across sectors (helping organizations prioritize what to fix, what to monitor, and how to allocate limited resources). In practice, this kind of engagement typically supports faster warning, improved deconfliction during incidents, and better access to expertise and tooling.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates DHS/CISA anticipates substantial involvement during performance, such as collaboration on priorities, coordination on deliverables, and alignment with broader federal cybersecurity information-sharing efforts. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary, with the funding activity category listed as "Other" as described in the solicitation text.
From the source details, the Funding Opportunity Number is DHS 19 CISA 123 ISAC000001, created August 12, 2019, with an original closing date of September 6, 2019. The award ceiling listed is $10,468,300, and the program anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). Overall, the grant is structured to support one primary organization to serve as the convening and operational backbone for an SLTT-focused SOC and ISAC, integrating the broader SLTT cyber ecosystem and elevating collective defense across SLTT entities and the critical infrastructure sub-sectors they rely on.Apply for DHS 19 CISA 123 ISAC000001
