Published 16 July 2009

GSA estimates the contracts could be worth $20 million over five years

The General Services Administration (GSA) awarded five vendors enterprisewide software licenses for new sets of situational awareness and incident response technologies.

GSA worked with DHS to add Autonomic Resources, Intelligent Decisions Inc., Merlin International, and Patriot Technologies, who will offer BigFix’s Platform 7 software; and to Winvale Group, which will offer Gideon’s Secure Fusion software to the SmartBuy program. GSA says a sixth company could be added in the near future as well.

These companies will provide an assortment of technology, including baseline configuration management, network mapping/path discovery, and vulnerability management.

GSA estimates the contracts could be worth $20 million over five years. It also says agencies could save between 1 percent and 89 percent off the current GSA schedule contract prices based on volume discounts.

The agency also says these SmartBuy awards are open to federal, state and local governments.
