$1 Billion Tech Fund for Federal Agencies
Just prior to the hack of the Colonial Pipeline announced last weekend, OMB and GSA prioritized distribution of $1 billion to bolster cybersecurity defenses, pandemic response and economic recovery. Cybersecurity can be incorporated in a Strategic Asset Management Plan, and proposals for such activity that are submitted at this link by June 2, 2021 will receive expedited priority. Funds will be distributed on a rolling basis from the Technology Modernization Fund, which is part of the American Rescue Plan that was signed into law on March 11, 2021. The Technology Modernization Fund (TMF) Board, will focus on projects that cut across agencies, address immediate security gaps, cross government services/infrastructure and improve the public’s ability to access government services.
