Quick Summary
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has awarded a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to SelecTech, LLC, a certified HUBZone small business, for RSA SecurID hardware tokens. This award was made under the authority of FAR 6.103-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency, due to proprietary compatibility requirements and an urgent operational need for multifactor authentication (MFA) access to critical systems.
Scope of Work
The purchase order covers the procurement of RSA SecurID hardware tokens, which are essential for the FBI's multifactor authentication infrastructure. These tokens are required to maintain secure access to critical systems and prevent operational degradation.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sole-Source Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order
- Awardee: SelecTech, LLC (Certified HUBZone Small Business)
- Authority: FAR 6.103-2 (Unusual and Compelling Urgency)
- Published: March 5, 2026
- Place of Performance: Redstone Arsenal, AL
Justification & Rationale
The sole-source award was justified by:
- Proprietary Compatibility: RSA SecurID tokens are proprietary, and only RSA-issued tokens are compatible with the FBI's existing authentication infrastructure.
- Urgent Operational Need: Immediate procurement was necessary to prevent loss of access to critical systems and avoid degraded operational capability.
- Market Research: While market research included outreach to other authorized RSA resellers, SelecTech, LLC was the only vendor identified that could meet the FBI's required delivery timeframe. The FBI is actively evaluating long-term MFA modernization strategies, which may lead to future competitive acquisitions.
