The solicitation (RFQ 93310025Q0006) is being conducted as a sole source procurement to Swish Data Corp based on their extensive knowledge of existing systems and previous cybersecurity framework experience. The services will include monitoring networks, endpoints, servers, and services, along with assistance during security issues or breaches, quarterly training, and phishing testing.

Quotes must be submitted electronically to bmadero@fmcs.gov by 3:00 PM EDT on Monday, August 25, 2025, just five days after the solicitation was posted on August 20, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured as a sole source award to Swish Data Corp, located in McLean, Virginia, who appears to be the incumbent provider given their familiarity with FMCS systems. The contract value falls within the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000, though specific dollar amounts are not disclosed in the available documentation. The solicitation includes provisions for potential service extensions up to six months beyond the base period. Services will be performed to support FMCS operations, with the place of performance designated as Washington, DC 20024. The sole source justification emphasizes that switching to another vendor would require significant time and potentially additional funding to bring a new provider up to speed with the organization's existing cybersecurity systems and processes.
