Notice of Intent to Sole Source Multifactor Authentication Support Services

The Washington Headquarters Services Acquisition Directorate, acting on behalf of the Defense Innovation Unit, intends to award a sole source contract to Lastwall Corporation for Multifactor Authentication Support Services, with a performance period of approximately 12 months. The award is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204 and RFO 6.103-1 due to Lastwall’s proprietary, customized multifactor authentication solutions that uniquely meet DIU’s specific cybersecurity needs, including secure identity verification, advanced authentication enforcement, identity-enhanced AI services, and encrypted data protection—all tightly integrated with DIU’s existing infrastructure. This procurement, classified under NAICS code 518210 with a small business size standard of $40 million in annual receipts, does not involve competition, as no other vendor is capable of delivering the required capabilities. The place of performance is primarily Washington, DC, with the contractor located in Arlington, VA, and services are expected to be delivered remotely or on-site as needed. The contract is anticipated to be firm-fixed price, though the exact value is not disclosed, as this is a notice of intent rather than a solicitation. The primary point of contact is Ronica Shelton, Contracting Officer, with Maia Warren as the secondary point of contact, and all submissions must be sent via email under 5MB in size by the deadline of May 4, 2026, with the subject line “Response to NOI DC041020261453.” No formal evaluation criteria, contract clauses, representations from the contractor, invoice methods, payment details, or packaging standards have been specified in the notice, as the procurement relies entirely on the unique, non-commercially available technology possessed solely by Lastwall Corporation.
