Opportunity Summary:
The Virginia Operational Integration Cyber Center of Excellence (VOICCE) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 NPPD 125 001; CFDA 97.125) is a Department of Homeland Security earmark grant designed to fund the creation of a Municipal Cyber Lab in Virginia. The core purpose is practical: help local governments treat cybersecurity as a routine part of emergency management rather than a separate technical concern. In other words, the program is meant to move cyber planning into the same mainstream workflows that cities and counties already use for storms, public safety incidents, continuity of operations, and other emergencies.
The Municipal Cyber Lab concept centers on building awareness and preparedness among local government officials, not just IT staff. The opportunity highlights raising cybersecurity awareness for decision-makers at the local level and promoting the integration of cybersecurity planning into everyday emergency operations. The intended outcome is that local officials become better equipped to recognize, prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents that could disrupt critical municipal services. This includes developing the kinds of capabilities, processes, and procedures that make response more effective in real-world conditions, such as defined roles and responsibilities, incident coordination practices, response playbooks, planning templates, and other operational tools that can be used during a cyber event.
Funding is limited and targeted. DHS anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The opportunity is categorized as an earmark, and eligibility is explicitly restricted to the Virginia Operational Integration Cyber Center of Excellence itself, meaning it was not a broadly competitive solicitation open to general applicants.
Key administrative details include the posting date of September 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 27, 2010, and an archive date of October 27, 2010. The grant was issued through the DHS Office of Procurement Operations, Grants Division. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Grants Officer Joan Keiser at 202-447-5603.
