About Passware, Inc.
Passware, Inc., based in Mountain View, California, provides password recovery, encryption key discovery, and computer forensic software licenses to federal law enforcement and investigative agencies as a prime contractor operating under no set-aside designation. The company is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and competes on full-and-open solicitations, with all eleven awards in the source data awarded as purchase orders rather than under IDIQs, GWACs, or standing vehicles.
Passware's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on digital forensics software. Representative work includes a $329,835 firm fixed-price purchase order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) awarded April 15, 2026, for Passware software licenses to support computer forensic examinations training for agents, with performance in Fairfax, Virginia and completion April 14, 2027. Earlier in 2026, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) awarded a $32,355 purchase order for Passware Kits and subscription services (February 6, 2026), and the Secret Service awarded a $36,125 purchase order for Passware Kit software licenses (February 10, 2025). The company also supplied password recovery software to the Drug Enforcement Administration for enforcement and diversion casework (May 31, 2023, $4,335).
Customer concentration skews toward DHS components. The top five customers by award count account for 73% of awards: the Secret Service (2 awards, $127 thousand combined potential value), FLETC (2 awards, $64 thousand), the IRS (2 awards, $117 thousand), the DEA (1 award, $4 thousand), and the Federal Trade Commission (1 award, amount not specified). When ranked by potential value, ICE's single $330 thousand award dominates the portfolio; the Secret Service and IRS trail at $127 thousand and $117 thousand respectively. Passware operates entirely as a prime contractor — 100% of recent awards are direct sales, with no subcontract engagements in the source data.
Activity is sparse and episodic. The vendor received two awards in 2026 and one in 2025, after a three-year gap between 2015 and 2023 when activity resumed with three awards. Combined potential value across all eleven awards totals $648 thousand, with $648 thousand obligated — suggesting these are fully funded small purchases rather than ceiling-value contracts. Three awards (combined potential value $398 thousand) complete within the next twenty-four months and face recompete. The vendor's federal footprint reflects a niche positioning: software licensing to law enforcement forensics teams, not enterprise IT modernization or managed services.
