Authentic8, Inc.

Authentic8, Inc., based in Redwood City, California, operates as a prime contractor (70% of recent awards) and subcontractor delivering secure web isolation and managed attribution software to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis, with no SBA set-aside designations across its prime footprint. The company provides Silo for Research, a cloud-based web isolation platform, and Toolbox, a suite of online investigation tools, to support secure internet research, intelligence gathering, and cybersecurity operations across defense and civilian agencies.

Authentic8's customer concentration reflects a split between high-dollar defense work and distributed civilian agency penetration. The Air Combat Command dominates potential value at $10.3 million across two awards (99% of all combined potential value), anchored by an $8.5 million definitive contract for the Silo for Research managed attribution solution running through June 2029 and a $1.8 million counter threat finance managed attribution software contract. The Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of State Bureau of Administration, and Department of the Army follow at the award-count level with four, four, and three awards respectively, but at lower individual ceiling values typically between $5 thousand and $300 thousand per purchase order. Authentic8 serves eighteen distinct customer agencies, with the top five by potential value accounting for 99% of combined ceiling but the top five by award count representing only 48%—indicating that civilian agencies order frequently in small tranches while defense customers consolidate demand into larger definitive contracts.

Activity has accelerated sharply. Authentic8 recorded two awards in 2022, three in 2023, eleven in 2024, and six each in 2025 and 2026. The combined potential value across all recent awards (prime and sub) stands at $10.9 million, with $5.6 million obligated to date (51% of potential). Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $1.9 million in combined potential value and face recompete. Authentic8 places task orders under the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) multi-agency contract (five task orders), the Assessment, Exercise, and Modeling and Simulation Support vehicle (two task orders), and agency-specific indefinite delivery contracts. Recent prime awards include the $8.5 million Air Combat Command Silo for Research contract, a $50 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from the Executive Office for US Attorneys for Silo multi-application workspaces, and a $25.8 thousand State Department Bureau of Administration subscription renewal.

In its subcontractor role, Authentic8 delivers Silo platform services, cloud storage, Toolbox licenses, and premium support to BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. on Army Open Source Intelligence office support, to General Dynamics Information Technology on technical support services, and to Applied Research Associates on adversarial assessment support services. Authentic8 also holds positions on OASIS and other multi-agency vehicles as a sub-awardee. The vendor's footprint clusters around Software Publishers (14 awards) and Engineering Services (7 awards) by NAICS, with IT and Telecom business application software and SaaS licensing dominating the PSC distribution.
