Notice of Funding Opportunity for Entities Interested in Establishing Security Operations Centers

NOFO No. 2025-Cyber-03

Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, on behalf of MassCyberCenter, is issuing this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO No.2025-Cyber-03). We are seeking applications from entities interested in establishing and operating a Security Operations Center ("SOC") providing cybersecurity services to organizations serving the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) as a member of CyberTrust Massachusetts (CTM). 

This solicitation also provides an opportunity to access capital funds to build or procure new and novel infrastructure, equipment, or resources that directly aid in the creation of SOCs. Funding requests for capital and/or operating expenditures may total no more than $300,000.

Only public higher education institutions and non-profits in Massachusetts counties where there is not currently a CTM SOC are eligible to respond to this solicitation. Respondents from the following Massachusetts counties are eligible: Barnstable County, Berkshire County, Bristol County, Dukes County, Essex County, Frankin County, Hampden County, Middlesex County, Nantucket County, and Worcester County.

Respondents must collaborate with CTM to develop a plan for their proposed SOC’s operations prior to submitting a grant application.
