Providing Treasury Enterprise Cybersecurity Technology (PROTECTS)

The Providing Treasury Enterprise Cybersecurity Technology (PROTECTS) Master Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a comprehensive cybersecurity contract vehicle established by the Department of the Treasury to support enterprise-level information technology and security services. The vehicle aims to provide advanced cybersecurity capabilities across multiple domains, including security operations, vulnerability management, incident response, threat intelligence, and security engineering support. Based on the draft solicitation, the contract is designed to cover a wide range of cybersecurity technological services with a focus on protecting Treasury's critical infrastructure and maintaining robust security protocols.

Initial task orders under this BPA demonstrate a focus on small business contractors, with Shorepoint Inc. being a prominent award recipient. The first task order, valued at $90.8 million, was awarded to Shorepoint for the Treasury Shared Services Security Operations Center (TSSOC), with performance located in Washington, D.C. and an ultimate completion date of September 23, 2033. A second task order to Shorepoint, valued at $6.6 million, was awarded to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for security operations center and engineering support. Both task orders were total small business set-asides, indicating a strategic emphasis on supporting smaller federal contractors. The contract vehicle has a shared ceiling of $20 billion and is structured to support cybersecurity initiatives across Treasury and potentially other federal agencies, with a focus on comprehensive security technology and services.
