Account requiredWhy it scored this way
Every reason behind the verdict rather than the headline one — which of your certifications match, how much runway is left, whether the work is your size, and what we would need to know to sharpen it.
Written against this notice and what you have told us about your company. Anything we do not know is marked [NEEDS INPUT] in the draft rather than guessed at — read it before you send it.

Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays
Comparable awards under NAICS 541715 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.
This Request for Information (RFI) supports the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate’s efforts to conduct market research in support of the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) and Federal Protective Service (FPS). Recent gap analyses and need assessments have highlighted the importance of developing a portable network scanning tool tailored to FPS operational requirements. The tool must enable comprehensive discovery and inventory of IT, Internet of Things (IoT), and Operational Technology (OT) assets, perform vulnerability and configuration assessments in environments without centralized monitoring, and generate structured outputs compatible with FPS’s existing inventory and reporting tools. The project will also address the need for interoperability with legacy systems, unique asset tracking, and compliance with government travel and operational constraints. DHS S&T HSARPA is leading the development of this tool, with FPS as the component customer and eventual recipient. The Contractor will design, develop, test, and deliver the tool, with oversight and project management provided by DHS S&T HSARPA. The Contractor shall design, develop, test, and deliver a consolidated, portable, agentless network scanning tool for use by FPS. The tool will support real-time discovery and inventory of information technology (IT), Internet of Things (IoT), and Operational Technology (OT) assets, vulnerability and configuration assessments, and integration with FPS’s existing inventory and reporting systems. The project will also include the development of a user interface, documentation, and training materials, as well as validation and testing in operational environments. The attached draft Statement of Work (SOW) provides background for the FPS Network Scanning Tool.
