The blanket purchase agreements run for five years and will support the agency's standards development mission.
Three companies have won parts of a $125 million contract to support the cybersecurity and privacy mission of the National Institute for Standards and Technology.
Analygence, Cybersesi Consulting Group and Electrosoft each won a blanket purchase agreement, collectively known as the Cybersecurity and Privacy Support Services or CAPSS.
NIST is looking for technical expertise and consulting services around cyber and information security and privacy. The services will support NIST’s efforts to develop standards, technology, tools and best practices.
Federal Data Procurement System records show there were 14 bidders for the BPAs, which run for five years each.
Bidders had to submit responses to five mock task orders for services related to supply chains, tools and international standards support.
