Incident Response Retainer

The Internal Revenue Service is seeking to procure brand name Mandiant products and services for an Incident Response Retainer through the NASA SEWP contract vehicle. The requirement specifically calls for Mandiant-branded solutions to support the IRS's incident response capabilities, indicating a sole-source or brand name procurement approach. The formal solicitation (RFQ 2032L225Q00003) will be released during the last week of July 2025 and will be distributed exclusively through NASA SEWP, with interested parties required to monitor that platform for all updates and amendments. The estimated closing date for submissions is early August 2025, though exact dates must be confirmed through the NASA SEWP site. All communications regarding this solicitation must be conducted through the designated acquisition platform, with no telephone or written requests accepted outside of that system.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business entities. The procurement falls under the IT and Telecom service delivery support category, specifically covering IT service management, operations center support, and project management labor services. No award will be issued until requirements and approvals under the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Cost Efficiency Initiative are secured, which may impact the timeline for contract award. The notice does not specify contract values, quantities, or performance timelines, with these details expected to be provided in the formal solicitation. The brand name requirement for Mandiant products suggests this is a specialized cybersecurity incident response capability that requires specific technical expertise and tools.
