Justification for Restricting Competition (JRC) Post-Quantum Cryptography and Federal Identity Management Support Services

Notice ID:47QACB26Q0069

The GSA OGP Federal Identity and Cybersecurity Division seeks specialized support to align civilian agency ICAM policy with FICAM Architecture and manage the FIPS 201 Evaluation Program for PIV/PACS products on the GSA Approved Products List. This supports OMB M-26-15, which directs agencies to migrate to post-quantum cryptography by December 31, 2030, requires GSA to establish an interagency ICAM modernization working group, and tasks the FICAM Office with testing PQC-ready access systems for 2027 pilots. The services cover four areas: PQC testing in an isolated contractor environment aligned with NIST standards; development and updating of quantum-resistant FRTCs for PACS, credentials, FIDO2, mPIV, and derived credentials. Additional work includes producing governmentwide guidance on next-generation digital identity technologies for IDManagement.gov and providing PKI/FICAM SME support for Federal PKI policies and FICAM Architecture PQC readiness, including algorithm transition and hybrid cryptography planning. Interested bidders should be prepared to support PQC testing, standards documentation, guidance development, and SME advisory work under these modernization mandates.
