Bitwarden Inc.

Bitwarden Inc., a for-profit software vendor based in Santa Barbara, California, sells password management and credential security software to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders, with no SBA set-aside designations across its recent award footprint.

Bitwarden's federal footprint is nascent. The vendor holds three prime purchase orders totaling $59 thousand in combined potential value, all fully obligated, across two customer agencies. The Smithsonian Institution Office of the Chief Information Officer accounts for two awards ($42 thousand combined potential value) for software licensing, both on firm fixed-price purchase orders — one awarded September 24, 2025, for $20,250 with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026, and a second awarded September 9, 2026, for $21,260.88 with an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2027. The Department of the Navy's Fleet Cyber Command awarded Bitwarden a single $17,280 purchase order on July 14, 2025, for a Bitwarden software subscription, with an ultimate completion date of July 21, 2025. Both customers cite the vendor's secure password management and identity verification capabilities as critical to their cybersecurity posture. Awards are classified under NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and PSC category It And Telecom Business Application Software.

Activity is sporadic — two awards in 2025, one in 2026 — with only one award (the Smithsonian order valued at $21 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Bitwarden operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source carries no sub-award activity. The vendor does not hold a parent GWAC, IDIQ, or BPA and competes on individual agency purchase orders without set-aside protection.
