# DHS Awards Netizen $168M Multistate FLETC Contract

The Department of Homeland Security awarded Netizen Corporation a nine-year, $168 million contract for IT and cybersecurity services supporting Federal Law Enforcement Training Center operations in Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, and New Mexico. Selected from 29 bidders, Netizen will cover 19 service areas and use two Virginia-based subcontractors. The award announcement is not an open solicitation; reporting also notes an unresolved discrepancy between Netizen’s $168 million figure and an earlier report of $179 million for a FLETC award.

- The contract includes a four-month base transition period followed by nine 12-month option periods, creating a long-term service opportunity for the awardee and its subcontractors.
- Netizen is the prime contractor; The Fila Group, LLC and NIS Solutions Corp. are identified as subcontractors. Suppliers seeking work on this award should pursue teaming or subcontracting channels rather than treating it as an active competition.
- The multi-state footprint and 19 service areas indicate sustained federal demand for IT and cybersecurity support in law-enforcement training operations, although the signals do not specify individual service requirements.
