The Social Security Administration (SSA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for an External Attack Surface Module (EASM), seeking to identify potential software solutions in the cybersecurity domain. This solicitation targets software publishers with capabilities in developing comprehensive attack surface management tools, with a specific focus on external digital security monitoring. The RFI was posted on February 12, 2025, with responses due by February 25, 2025, indicating a relatively short response window for interested vendors. The procurement falls under the NAICS category 513210 for Software Publishers and the PSC category 7A21 for IT and Telecom Business Application Software. The agency appears to be seeking a perpetual license software solution that can provide advanced external threat detection and vulnerability assessment capabilities.

The solicitation does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, suggesting the opportunity is open to a broad range of potential contractors. No incumbent contractor information is explicitly provided in the notice. While specific award values or budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement suggests a sophisticated cybersecurity software solution targeting enterprise-level attack surface management. The contract is classified as a civilian agency procurement, implying the software will be used within SSA's internal IT infrastructure. The technical requirements likely include comprehensive scanning, risk assessment, and continuous monitoring capabilities for external digital assets. Vendors interested in responding should carefully review the full RFI documentation and prepare detailed technical proposals that demonstrate their solution's ability to meet the SSA's complex cybersecurity needs.
