National Cyber-Forensics And Training Alliance LIMITED

National Cyber-Forensics And Training Alliance LIMITED, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, provides federal law enforcement and civilian agencies with access to cybercrime investigative databases, threat intelligence data feeds, analytical services, and specialized training delivered as a prime contractor on 39 of its 40 recent federal awards.

NCFTA operates as a public-private partnership intermediary between federal agencies and the private sector, offering membership access to its collaborative cybersecurity and cyber-forensics platform, investigative case support, and data portal services. The organization competes on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. Recent representative awards include a $2.22 million firm fixed-price purchase order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (awarded September 2026, completion September 2031) for database access supporting ICE Homeland Security Investigations; a $487,500 definitive contract from the U.S. Secret Service (awarded May 2024, OY2 exercise, completion April 2029) for analytical services supporting cybersecurity and investigative operations; a $674,999 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Internal Revenue Service (awarded June 2024, completion June 2029) providing NCFTA membership and administrative access; and a $250,000 purchase order from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (awarded September 2024, OY2, completion August 2029) for a data feed.

Customer concentration is diffuse across federal law enforcement and civilian agencies. The top five customers by award count and potential value account for 83% and 95% respectively of recent awards. Immigration and Customs Enforcement leads by potential value (6 awards, $7.6 million combined potential value), followed by the U.S. Secret Service (5 awards, $2.2 million), the Internal Revenue Service (10 awards, $1.2 million), the Drug Enforcement Administration (8 awards, $1 million), and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (4 awards, $450 thousand). The rankings align closely — ICE anchors both volume-weighted and dollar-weighted concentration — but the IRS and DEA display inverse patterns: the IRS places many small subscription-renewal awards while DEA aggregates fewer awards at larger individual values. Over the past five fiscal years (2021–2026), NCFTA has averaged between two and five awards per year, with recent activity tracking at two awards in 2026 and four in 2024; only one award (combined potential value $263 thousand) faces completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window.

Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (FY2022–FY2025), NCFTA recorded $2.4 million in invoiced revenue delivered through an average of 2.65 FTEs per fiscal year. SCI-reported invoicing ran roughly $600 thousand annually, with FY2025 tracking at $620 thousand across 2.5 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on federal service contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $84.87/hr to a median of $100.52/hr, with senior analytical labor reaching $288.77/hr at the 90th percentile. NCFTA self-performed all reported labor on SCI contracts — zero subcontractor hours across the SCI footprint — and similarly operates as a prime on 98% of all federal awards, with one grant sub-award only. That sub-award pairs NCFTA with the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (prime grantee, supporting John Jay College of Criminal Justice) to build national cybercrime investigation capacity and training for law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges on emerging economic crime, high-technology crime, and internet crime.

NCFTA's category concentration clusters in Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (26 awards) and specialized intelligence and data support services (5 awards in intelligence support, 4 in IT end-user services, 3 in data center products). The organization maintains no parent contract vehicles, GWACs, or IDIQs in its federal footprint — all awards are direct purchase orders and definitive contracts negotiated individually with customer agencies.
