About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management awarded a task order to Standard-Blazar, LLC under the NASA SEWP contract vehicle (NNG15SD70B) on September 17, 2026, for Recorded Future cyber threat intelligence and vulnerability intelligence software subscriptions and support services, with a total value of $312,837.73.
The justification cites FAR 16.507-7 (items peculiar to one manufacturer) as the exception to fair opportunity. The Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Technology determined that Recorded Future is mission-critical to Office of Consular Systems & Technology operations, reducing threat hunt analysis time by approximately 60 percent and mean time to detect by 90 percent through automated IP blocking processes integrated with Splunk and other dashboards. Market research identified 60 SEWP contractors carrying Recorded Future products, including 49 small businesses. A formal Request for Information was published to 127 contract holders in SEWP Groups B, C, and D, resulting in four responses, including three small businesses capable of providing the required products. Based on this research, the requirement is set-aside for small business.
The order comprises seven line items: Threat Intelligence Module hosted subscription license for up to five users, five additional named user licenses for the Threat Intelligence Module, Vulnerability Intelligence Module hosted subscription license for up to five users, five additional named user licenses for the Vulnerability Intelligence Module, Analyst On Demand Credits, and a Premium Success Plan with designated technical account manager support. Period of performance extends from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2027. Delivery is required to 600 19th Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20522.
