Quick Summary
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has published a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Task Order 50310226F0057, awarded to Carahsoft Technology Corp. on June 16, 2026. This task order is for Drupal Web Hosting Services under Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Contract 47QSWA18D008F.

This includes supporting critical internal and external websites such as the agency's public website (www.sec.gov), the investor website (www.investor.gov), the intranet (The Exchange), and the technology and data catalog. The services require a secure, cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution, fully managed and optimized for Drupal, with 99.9% availability, FedRAMP Moderate compliance, and scalability. It must support Development, Testing, and Production environments, including cloud IDE, continuous delivery tools, and Technical Account Manager (TAM) support.
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Task Order (under FSS Contract 47QSWA18D008F)
- Awarded To: Carahsoft Technology Corp.
- Award Date: June 16, 2026
- Period of Performance: One (1) year base period commencing July 1, 2026, with four (4) one-year options.
- Product/Service Code: DF10 (IT Management Tools and Services)
- Set-Aside: Not applicable (Sole Source Justification)
Sole Source Rationale
The J&A identifies Acquia as the sole source for these services due to its platform being purpose-built for Drupal, offering native integration, FedRAMP authorized security, and specialized development/deployment tools (Cloud IDE, Acquia Pipelines, Cloud Continuous Delivery, APM tools) that cannot be replicated by other vendors. Carahsoft Technology Corp. is the sole reseller of Acquia solutions on the GSA MAS Program. Market research, including an RFI, did not identify alternative hosting solutions meeting the salient characteristics.
Additional Notes
Market research indicates that barriers to competition remain, as no other vendors have demonstrated the capability to meet the SEC's security, scalability, and operational continuity requirements for enterprise-grade Drupal support.
