Description
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Office of Acquisition intends to award a sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price contract to NTREPID LLC for the full management of a Secure Operations Environment (SOE). The SOE will provide masked/backstopped Internet provider addresses, browser attribute obfuscation, and an integrated attribution and evidence‑collection tool that enables DEA investigators to conduct online investigations without exposing day‑to‑day networks. The effort includes continuous cyber‑infrastructure management, data‑collection, and secure‑access controls for a period of performance from 09/18/2026 to 06/17/2027 (approximately nine months). The contract is justified on the basis that NTREPID’s unique capabilities are already deployed within DEA’s cyber environment and that any interruption would jeopardize ongoing investigations and public safety.
• Sole‑source award to NTREPID LLC (VA) – no competitive solicitation.
• Services: virtual environment management, internet address masking, browser attribute spoofing, evidence‑collection tooling, and integration with DEA investigative platforms.
• Period of Performance: 09 Oct 2026 – 17 Jun 2027 (≈ 9 months).
• Submission of market‑research information due 16 Sep 2026 10:00 AM EST.
• Estimated contract value not disclosed; likely under $900 k (based on typical cyber‑infrastructure contracts).
• Primary contact: Laura Over (DEA Office of Acquisition).
