Identity Proofing - New Users (LOA3)

The contract is for a subscription-based service to perform high-assurance identity validation of new users at Level of Assurance 3, requiring either in-person or remote verification processes to meet strict identity assurance standards. The service is intended for the Department of Veterans Affairs under the Technology Acquisition Center NJ, and the work must be performed to ensure users are thoroughly authenticated before access to sensitive systems or benefits is granted. The contract is structured as a subcontract and is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the SBA Total Small Business Set-Aside program, with the NAICS code 541611 indicating it falls within management, scientific, and technical consulting services. The opportunity was posted on April 28, 2026, with a response deadline the same day at 10:00 PM Eastern Time, indicating a very narrow window for proposals. There is no specified place of performance or point of contact listed, suggesting flexibility in how the service is delivered as long as LOA3 requirements are met. Participation is restricted to small business entities, and the solicitation number is not provided, which may imply this is an internal or streamlined procurement process. The emphasis on LOA3 validation underscores the need for robust, reliable identity proofing to protect federal systems and veteran services from fraud or impersonation.
