About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded a limited-source contract to Carahsoft Technology Corp. for Trellix MAX Resident Specialist/Engineer services on September 21, 2026, with a base year value of $904,160.02.
The justification limits competition under 41 U.S.C. 4103 and 4106, implemented through FAR 8.401 and GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii). Only Trellix Solutions Group at Carahsoft possesses the manufacturer-recognized certifications, cleared personnel, and direct access to proprietary Trellix engineering resources necessary to provide embedded subject matter experts for deployment, operational tuning, incident response, and system administration of Trellix security solutions in a Top Secret production environment. Improper configuration of the security infrastructure presents severe risks including reduced detection effectiveness, excessive false positives or negatives, endpoint performance degradation, and potential introduction of cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
The contract covers a one-year base period (September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2027) with two one-year option periods (potential total value $2,712,480.06 if all options are exercised). Work is performed at the Technology and Innovation Office, Bureau of Intelligence & Research (INR/TIO), located at 2201 C Street NW, Washington, DC. The contract is awarded under a blanket Federal Supply Schedule agreement and is firm fixed price. The State Department commits to conducting market research and cost-benefit analyses prior to future acquisitions to determine whether alternative solutions could support full and open competition in subsequent procurements.
