About this opportunity
The CDC Office of Acquisition Services issued a notice of intent to sole-source renew a subscription to Axiad Conductor, a phishing-resistant authentication solution, with response deadline May 29, 2026. The procurement is not set-aside. The CDC seeks to renew its existing Axiad Conductor Gold Bundle subscription to maintain continuity of phishing-resistant authentication services already integrated within CDC systems and supporting secure access where PIV-based authentication is not feasible. The renewal includes a Virtual Private Cloud-hosted service with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 HSM partition, user subscriptions, and 24/7 premium support, and aligns with Federal Zero Trust and Identity Management requirements. The justification for sole-source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) cites brand-name requirement; switching to alternative solutions would require significant disruption, reconfiguration, and additional cost. The acquisition is under $250,000 and not available on GSA Schedule. Contracting Officer Marcus Lindsey approved the sole-source action on May 13, 2026. Interested parties may submit written objections by May 29, 2026.
