Cribl Enterprise BPA

The Department of State has established a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Cribl Enterprise under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) General Services Administration (GWAC) to meet enterprise-wide data streaming, filtering, enrichment, and routing needs across its bureaus and overseas posts. This sole-source acquisition, justified under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B), was awarded to Cribl after an RFI in October 2025 identified it as the sole vendor capable of fulfilling all mandatory technical requirements, including vendor-agnostic data collection from a wide array of sources such as Syslog, HTTP/HEC, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, SNMP Trap, and NetFlow/IPFIX, as well as the critical capability of destination persistent queueing (dPQ) to ensure data availability during network outages. The solution also requires access to a centralized configuration repository for standardized pipelines and community-driven templates, enabling interoperability without vendor lock-in. The place of performance is Washington, D.C., with delivery and support extending to domestic and international State Department locations, though no physical delivery or packaging requirements apply due to the purely digital nature of the software delivery. The contract operates under a firm fixed unit price model with no estimated value published and no line-item details provided, reflecting its structure as a task-based, on-demand ordering mechanism rather than a fixed-volume procurement. Evaluation was strictly pass/fail, with no scoring or weighting applied—eleven of twelve responding vendors were eliminated for failing to meet all technical criteria. No formal contract clauses, representations, certifications, or invoicing specifics were included in the justification documentation, and traditional FAR sections such as packaging, inspection, or clause listings are inapplicable or absent because the acquisition concerns commercial off-the-shelf software delivered electronically. The procuring office is the Department of State’s Office of Acquisition Management in Washington, DC, with technical oversight falling under the Bureau of Diplomatic Technology, and the sole point of contact for the acquisition is Andrew Rothstein. This BPA supports long-term strategic IT modernization goals, ensuring resilient, efficient, and secure data flows critical to national security and diplomatic operations.
