Recently Awarded Small Businesses for Zero Trust & Cybersecurity Contracts

Given the wide breadth of professional service contracts awarded on a regular basis, recent awards and firms with the potential to be rising stars within the federal landscape can easily go unnoticed. To aid industry’s efforts in monitoring for potential future partners or competitors, AlphaBrook has provided below several successful small businesses that have been awarded contracts by DHS, DoD, USDT, or VA in the solution areas of cybersecurity, Zero Trust, DevSecOps, and other IT security services.

Greenbrier Government Solutions: As a dual-threat HUBZone and SDVOSB firm, Greenbrier Government Solutions is a small business with an intense customer focus and a people-centric attitude that is making a splash in the ICAM environment of DHS. Having been awarded an ICAM software maintenance and support contract by this agency as recently as April 2023, this company is capable of providing exceptional security operations center support, security controls assessment, data loss prevention, and continuous diagnostics and mitigation (CDM). Possessing requisite experience across the federal government, Greenbrier Government Solutions is positioned well to expand its already laudable presence in the cybersecurity domain.

Aretec: This 8(a) firm has recently been deemed exceptionally capable of providing cybersecurity services by DHS United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), having been awarded a reported $104.5M task order in April 2023 by the agency entitled ‘Cyber Security Support Services (CS3) - Operations.’ With impenetrable and comprehensive cybersecurity at the forefront of federal stakeholders’ priorities, Aretec possesses demonstrably coveted solution offerings to provide such support. These services include security operations, cyber threat intelligence, security assessment and authorization (A&A), and cloud security, as well as highly coveted emerging technology capabilities such as artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Given Aretec’s inception in this area of expertise, this firm will be one to keep tabs on over the coming years.

Zen Strategics: Another company paving the way within the federal government is Zen Strategics, which is a minority-owned company certified under the 8(a) program that was founded in 2010 by Venu Ayala. Within April 2023, this firm was awarded a highly competitive sister task order to Aretec titled ‘Cyber Security Support Services (CS3) - Architecture’ with a similarly impressive $79.3M value, evidencing that security-oriented agencies such as DHS United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have been wowed by its cyber prowess — and others are sure to be too. Boasting automated security architecture, assessment and authorization (A&A), risk and vulnerability management, and continuous network security monitoring capabilities, Zen Strategics is another formidable company to monitor.

Dignari, LLC: This WOSB vendor was recently awarded a DHS-wide cybersecurity BPA with a reported $6.1M ceiling value for ICAM support services. Dignari advertises many capabilities which will effectively position this vendor for future federal cybersecurity opportunities, including emerging technology integration, data science and analytics, technology delivery, and human-centered design. Given this company’s exciting new work with DHS and its relevant cybersecurity services, Dignari will be a vendor to look out for in future cybersecurity-related opportunities. 

Infinity Technology Services, LLC: Another company to keep your eyes out for in the cyber realm is Infinity Technology Services, as this SDVOSB firm has capabilities spanning cybersecurity support, threat analysis, enterprise architecture, and risk management. This qualified industry partner was recently awarded a significant $40M cyber-threat hunting contract for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) within DoD, demonstrating its ability to support imperative cybersecurity efforts for the US government. Be sure to check out Infinity Technology Services, as this company is establishing themselves as a key player in the cybersecurity industry.

Chenega Analytic Business Solutions (CABS): CABS is considered both an ANC and 8(a) firm under the Chenega MIOS parent company, and has proven itself capable of providing exceptional cybersecurity services and support in the federal landscape. In fact, this vendor has recently been awarded a cybersecurity contract for USDT, which has a reported $19.8M total ceiling value. Intelligence, cybersecurity, data analytics, and actionable IT insights are only a few of the many relevant services that CABS provides, well-positioning this firm for future cyber-related awards.

Delviom, LLC: With a proven track record of providing DHS with IV&V services on a reported $10.4M contract, Delviom, which is an EDWOSB 8(a) vendor, has manifestly demonstrated its security capabilities to other agencies across government. As of a few short weeks ago on 05/01/2023, this company commenced support on a Security Testing & Evaluation contract awarded by Federal Communications Commission (FCC), having been identified as the most uniquely capable vendor amongst seven bidders. Considering Delviom’s extensive repertoire of security offerings, which include vulnerability management, penetration testing, threat management, network security, automated continuous monitoring, and more, it is apparent that this firm is well-regarded by government. It would be wise to remain abreast of Delviom’s next moves in the federal contracting sphere, as they’ve recently made an impact in the federal-cyber space.

IMPRES Technology Solutions: Specializing in providing IT-based products and services to federal customers, this firm is becoming an established and engaging small business figure within the federal IT sector. IMPRES provides Zero Trust Architecture solutions, IT modernization, cybersecurity services, network cloaking, digital storage services, and technical support services. More recently, IMPRES has been awarded many contracts to provide hardware and software licenses, including a nearly $100M contract to provide Dell brand-name equipment, device management, and support services. Additionally, products and licenses sold in the federal marketplace by this vendor include Portworx, Splunk, VMware, SANnav licenses, Tableau, Trustwave AppDetective, Cloudian, DB-Project, Cisco, Veritas (APTARE), among others.
