Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 CISA 123 ISAC000001

The State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT) Security Operations Center (SOC) Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) Continuation and Supplement is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening how SLTT organizations share and act on cyber threat intelligence. The core goal is to accelerate development of an automated, streamlined capability that enables bi-directional, collaborative threat intelligence sharing between SLTT stakeholders (with an initial emphasis on the Elections subsector) and DHS CISA. In practice, the opportunity is designed to improve both the speed and quality of information exchange so that participants can move from receiving threat data to taking coordinated, risk-informed defensive action.

A major focus of the supplement is building a connective platform that links SLTT cyber coordinators and supports a shared operating picture for cyber threats. The model emphasizes trusted collaboration across jurisdictions, along with elastic infrastructure that can scale as participation and data volumes grow. It also highlights the need for strong analytic orchestration, meaning tooling and processes that can ingest threat intelligence, prioritize it, and translate it into practical guidance and response steps. The intended outcome is better situational awareness and “decision advantage” for SLTT cyber leaders, helping them detect threats sooner, understand impacts faster, and respond more consistently across the community.

Beyond information sharing, the continuation and supplement specifically expands exploration of cyber managed services that can be adopted rapidly, especially within election environments. The examples called out include initiatives such as a National Prevention Pilot, an End-Point Detection and Response (EDR) pilot, and domain blocking and reporting capabilities. These services are framed as practical defensive enhancements that can be integrated into local SLTT environments to raise baseline security, improve cyber hygiene and awareness, and increase the ability of stakeholders to act on prioritized intelligence delivered through the platform. While elections are the primary near-term emphasis, the broader intent is to strengthen defenses and information sharing capacity across the entire SLTT sector.

Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, meaning DHS CISA expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on the work as it is executed. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 97.123 and is open to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding opportunity number is DHS 20 CISA 123 ISAC000001. The original posting date was May 1, 2020, with an original closing date of May 15, 2020. The award ceiling is $23,294,000, and the opportunity anticipates a single award, indicating that one recipient would be responsible for implementing and operating capabilities that serve a broad SLTT community.

Overall, the grant is centered on building a healthier, more resilient SLTT cybersecurity ecosystem by combining automated threat intelligence exchange, coordinated community action, and scalable security services. The emphasis is not just on collecting and distributing threat indicators, but on enabling rapid adoption, integration with local operations, and consistent defensive responses across state, local, tribal, and territorial partners in collaboration with CISA.
