About this opportunity
The General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service awarded a sole-source modification to Kantara Initiative, Inc. under Modification P00007 to Contract No. 47QPCA24P0001 for NIST SP 800-63 Revision 4 Kantara assessment services supporting Login.gov's identity certification, with a modification value of $319,111.00.
The justification cites FAR 6.103-1 under GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-6, only one responsible source. Kantara is the sole historical federal Trust Framework Provider that has maintained and evolved its certification program through successive NIST SP 800-63 versions; competing providers (Open Identity Exchange, SAFE-BioPharma, and InCommon) have ceased or restructured operations. Kantara recently restructured its program to require assessment services be obtained directly through Kantara rather than through independent accredited assessors, eliminating alternative sourcing pathways. The Government posted a SAM.gov notice on July 8, 2026 for a 10-calendar-day response period and received no competing offers. The modification covers conformity assessment and Trust Mark services demonstrating Login.gov's identity proofing, credential management, and authentication services conform to NIST SP 800-63-4 standards. Performance runs through Option Period 2 (October 26, 2025 through October 25, 2026). Total contract value following the modification is $377,111.00. The Contracting Officer determined the modification price fair and reasonable based on price analysis comparing market research data and Kantara's published commercial rates.
