Malware Intelligence Subscription

The Transportation Security Administration is seeking a subscription-based malware intelligence service to enhance its cybersecurity capabilities through an online database platform. This service must enable analysts to search for known malicious files using file hashes, submit samples for in-depth analysis, and perform historical threat hunting using YARA rules to identify patterns of malicious activity. The platform must also support URL analysis to detect malware distribution points and command-and-control networks, providing actionable intelligence to mitigate active threats. An essential requirement is the availability of a robust Application Programming Interface that allows seamless integration with existing TSA security tools, enabling automated lookups and real-time querying of file intelligence without manual intervention. The contract is forecasted under NAICS code 541519 for other computer-related services and is managed by the Department of Homeland Security through the TSA. Performance is expected to occur in Springfield, Virginia, and all inquiries should be directed to Benjamin Langtry or Matthew Carman as primary points of contact, with Toshia Rollins serving as the Small Business Specialist. There is no set-aside designation for small businesses, and the solicitation is currently in the forecasting phase with no formal solicitation number assigned. The service must be maintained as an ongoing subscription to ensure continuous access to updated threat intelligence, with reliability, scalability, and integration fidelity being critical success factors for vendor selection.
