About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded a sole-source contract to Telos Corporation under GSA Schedule GS-35F-162DA for System Inventory and Risk Management services using the Xacta platform, with an award value of $654,191.51 on September 24, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 8.401 and GSAR 538.71 (items peculiar to one manufacturer) on the basis that Telos XACTA 360 is the only commercially available product satisfying all minimum mission requirements out-of-the-box for supporting the Intelligence Community Risk Management Framework in Top Secret authorization environments with continuous cybersecurity monitoring. Competing products lack native integration with ICD 503 and CNSS 1253 overlays, multi-tenant control inheritance capabilities, IC-wide workflow standardization, inter-agency reciprocity features, and vendor-backed air-gapped deployment support. Market research conducted via GSA MRAS on August 13, 2026, closed August 21, 2026, yielded three responses but confirmed no viable alternatives.
The contract covers a 12-month base period from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, and includes a Xacta 360 subscription license (Tier 4), user and admin licenses, training credits, and 960 hours of Subject Matter Expert services plus 1,880 hours of Security Control Assessor FTE services. The Bureau of Intelligence & Research Technology & Innovation Office committed to continuous market research and reassessment, with plans to structure future procurements as full and open competitions if alternative products meet requirements and support seamless migration.
