Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Cybersecurity Support Services

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau established a Master BPA for Cybersecurity Support Services on September 5, 2023, with a shared ceiling of $126.1 million and ordering authority extending through September 4, 2028. Ordering remains open for approximately two years and one month.

The vehicle is early in its execution lifecycle. One task order has been awarded since inception, issued October 16, 2023, to Mantech Advanced Systems International, Inc. with a combined potential value of $11.9 million. The task order is unrestricted (no set-aside), and obligated dollars stand at $3.6 million, representing 30 percent of the awarded order's potential value. No ordering activity has occurred since the initial award, indicating the vehicle is not yet generating sustained volume.

The BPA supports CFPB cybersecurity operations. The single awarded task order represents the entirety of current activity, leaving 88 percent of the vehicle's $126.1 million ceiling unobligated and unordered. Competition is currently unexposed — with only one prime and one customer on record, the vehicle presents no competitive data on concentration or vendor diversity. The CFPB has not established a pattern of ordering that would signal whether this vehicle will become a primary contracting mechanism or remain a limited-use agreement.

For contractors not yet positioned on the BPA, entry requires competing for task orders directly against Mantech. The absence of orders issued in the past two years, combined with the vehicle's structural design (shared ceiling, single-award initial task order) and the CFPB's narrow customer base, suggests limited near-term pursuit opportunity unless the agency expands its cybersecurity footprint or reorders under the existing vehicle. Firms with direct CFPB relationships and in-house cybersecurity expertise should monitor for solicitations; others should track whether ordering momentum increases before investing pursuit resources.
