About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center has awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order to an unnamed vendor under the NASA SEWP V GWAC on a sole-source basis for renewal of Zeva DecryptNaBox Network-based Encryption Key Recovery Storage Solution software maintenance and technical support services, with contract NNG15SD34B awarded on September 3, 2026.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 4106(c)(2), asserting that only Zeva brand maintenance can meet VA requirements due to the solution's unique integration with VA's Luna T5000 Hardware Security Modules, FIPS compliance, and interconnection with U.S. Treasury Shared Service Provider PKI and Entrust Security Manager systems. The Zeva solution has been deployed since fiscal year 2018 and manages a minimum of 3.5 million encryption keys enterprise-wide, supporting secure encryption key recovery, S/MIME decryption, FOIA compliance, litigation discovery, authorized investigations, and records access workflows. Market research conducted in March and April 2026 via two RFIs identified eight vendors; five proposed Zeva solutions while three alternatives (Fortanix, Tegminestar LLC, and RV Global Solutions Inc) lacked necessary functional, technical, and integration capabilities. VA determined that replacing the solution would require approximately three years for development, testing, integration, security validation, and parallel operation, creating unacceptable mission disruption risk.
The base period is 12 months with four optional 12-month renewal periods. Required services include software maintenance, 24x365 Help Desk Ticketing Support from US-based personnel, supplemental telephonic support, ATO support, audit assistance, evidence collection, and product documentation. VA intends to seek maximum practicable competition among authorized Zeva resellers, including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, in future acquisitions.
