About this opportunity
The Federal Highway Administration intends to modify Task Order 693JJ126F00015N, awarded to Colossal Contracting LLC under the NASA SEWP governmentwide acquisition contract, on a sole-source basis to add Palo Alto Unit 42 cybersecurity services. The modification increases the total order value by $539,460.00, from $259,531.82 to $798,991.82, and was awarded on September 30, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 16.507-6(b)(3) and characterizes this as a logical follow-on order. The rationale emphasizes technical infeasibility of switching vendors without major disruption, given the extended detection and response platform and automated attack surface management capabilities already deployed. The modification adds emergency defensive support in response to a White House threat detection warning.
The pricing consists of two line items: Palo Alto Unit 42 Consulting Services base support (2 units at $134,865.00 each, $269,730.00 total) covering 3,000–4,000 assets, and Unit 42 Consulting Services add-on (12 units at $22,477.50 each, $269,730.00 total). Fair and reasonable pricing was established through NASA SEWP's prior determination and a market research quote from Quadra Solutions, LLC. The contracting activity is the Federal Highway Administration Information Technology Acquisition Center of Excellence, supporting the Department of Transportation Office of the Chief Digital and Information Officer.
