The contract, valued at $134,306.53 and awarded on August 19, 2025, covers ongoing operation and maintenance of the enterprise-level PKI system that was upgraded from late 2024 through early 2025. Services include annual subscription-based licenses for EJBCA hardware and software components, Hardware Secure Modules (HSM), premium support, maintenance, troubleshooting, hardware replacement, and software upgrades that provide cryptography, certificate authority, endpoint certificate, and digital security across FPI's entire computing environment. The sole source justification is based on KeyFactor's unique qualifications as the original manufacturer and developer of the specialized appliances and software, along with their demonstrated experience as the incumbent contractor who implemented the certificate authority in the government environment. The contract ensures continuity of the critical security infrastructure that supports numerous applications and processes dependent on the functioning certificate authority system.
Notice text
Federal Prison Industries (FPI) must maintain the operation and maintenance of its newly implemented Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) which was upgraded from late 2024 through early 2025. This enterprise-level core service includes vendor-specific hardware (e.g., EJBCA/Hardware Secure Modules) and software that provide cryptography, certificate authority, endpoint certificate, and digital security across the entire FPI computing environment. It is through annual subscription-based licenses that keep the hardware and software operational. Additionally, maintenance, troubleshooting, hardware replacement, and software upgrades are provided through annual Premium Support. The proposed contracting agency is KeyFactor, which specializes in encryption and PKI. They are the manufacturers and developers of the appliances and software. FPI is needing to maintain the certificate authority that provides cryptography and security across the FPI environment. The certificate authority is a highly complex area of IT that is a unique skillset. Acquiring a consultant with the knowledge and ability to upgrade the certificate authority in a government environment and ensure that it does not negatively impact the many applications and processes that rely on a functioning certificate authority is a critical need.
Awarded contract 15UC0C25F00001899 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2025-08-19.
