Sole Source Hack the Box Solicitation for United States Naval Academy

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring software licensing services from Hack the Box through a sole source solicitation N0018925Q0333 for the United States Naval Academy. This procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers and PSC code 7A20 for IT and Telecom Application Development Software (Perpetual License Software), indicating the acquisition involves specialized cybersecurity training and educational software platforms. The solicitation was posted on June 12, 2025, with responses due by June 18, 2025, providing vendors with only six days to prepare and submit their proposals. A sole source justification document has been included with the solicitation materials, suggesting that Hack the Box has been determined to be the only viable source capable of meeting the government's specific requirements. The attached solicitation document and redacted sole source justification contain the complete details regarding contract requirements, qualifications, and evaluation criteria.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it open to all qualified vendors despite the sole source nature of the procurement. The contract will be performed at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, indicating the software services will directly support the educational and training mission of this premier military institution. Given the sole source designation and the specialized nature of cybersecurity training platforms, Hack the Box appears to be both the incumbent provider and the intended awardee for this continuation of services. The tight timeline between posting and response deadline suggests this may be an urgent requirement or a time-sensitive renewal of existing services. The specific award values, quantities, and detailed performance timelines are contained within the attached solicitation document, which requires review to determine the full scope and scale of the procurement.
