# DHS Delays NCCS 2.0 Solicitation

The Department of Homeland Security has postponed the planned schedule for NCCS 2.0, a department-wide IT services vehicle intended to consolidate network security, cloud, platform, and cybersecurity services. As of October 6, 2026, revised solicitation and award dates are undetermined; the previous target was late November 2026. Leidos, General Dynamics, and Peraton hold portions of the legacy work, and Leidos is performing core network security operations center services under a short-term bridge order.

- Companies preparing bids should account for additional proposal-development time and check SAM.gov for revised solicitation information; no replacement dates have been announced.
- The delay extends uncertainty around the planned consolidation of legacy services and the transition from existing work, including Leidos’s bridge order.
- Incumbents and prospective bidders should factor the schedule change into staffing, teaming, and bid-planning assumptions for the centralized network, cloud, and cybersecurity services opportunity.
