This is a recompete. The agency has named who holds the work today, which tells you what you are displacing and what to ask about.

Who to talk to

At the forecast stage there is no active procurement, so contact is welcome rather than restricted — this is the one window where a direct conversation is straightforwardly appropriate.

The Small Business Specialist is usually the better first call. Helping firms like yours find and compete for this work is their actual job, and they can tell you whether a set-aside is still under consideration.

An HSM is a specialized physical device designed to securely store and manage digital keys, cryptographic operations, and sensitive information. They provide a high level of protection for cryptographic processes and serve as a secure foundation for various security applications. Additionally, they offer a range of features including key generation, storage and protection, cryptographic operations (such as encryption and decryption), secure key exchange, and digital signatures. By employing tamper-resistant hardware and robust security mechanisms, HSMs help safeguard sensitive data and cryptographic keys from unauthorized access and tampering attempts. They also support compliance with regulatory standards and provide a trusted platform for building secure systems.
