About this IDV
Cypher, LLC, a Small Business Administration (SBA) Certified 8(a) Program Participant and minority-owned, veteran-owned small business, was awarded the 8(a) STARS III Government-Wide Acquisition Contract on February 23, 2022, as part of a multiple-award competitive 8(a) set-aside. This $50 billion ceiling-value contract vehicle, administered by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service, provides information technology services across all federal agencies through February 23, 2026. The contract enables Cypher to deliver comprehensive IT solutions including data management, IT operations, software development, and cybersecurity services. The 8(a) STARS III GWAC was designed to streamline federal agency procurement of IT services while supporting small business participation and compliance with the GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-16.
The contract structure supports task order issuance across the federal government, enabling agencies to procure services under a pre-established pricing framework that leverages Cypher's technical capabilities and small business status. Cypher's positioning on this vehicle, combined with existing certifications and prior federal contracting experience with agencies including the Federal Aviation Administration, Naval Air Warfare Center, and Federal Transit Administration, positions the company to compete for delivery orders spanning IT infrastructure, program management support, and technical support services. The multiple-award nature of the GWAC ensures competition among awardees while providing federal customers with expedited access to a vetted pool of qualified IT service providers specializing in supporting mission-critical federal operations.
