How this market is scoped

Headline view — Market

PSC DA10 — Cybersecurity and Information Assurance

Product Service Code — the federal taxonomy for what the government bought. The authoritative market-sizing lens.

Obligated: $9.0B · 2,295 contracts

Companion view — Firm classification

NAICS 5415 — Computer Systems Design firms (not cyber-specific)

NAICS describes a seller's industry classification — not what was bought. Use this view for firm-set analysis, not market sizing.

Obligated: $68.8B · 13,755 contracts

No NAICS cleanly isolates cybersecurity firms; use PSC DA10 for market sizing.

Scope note: DA10 obligations are a subset of the OMB IT Category on the IT & Software page.

Market Intelligence — Cybersecurity

●

PSC DA10 cybersecurity & information assurance obligations total ~$8.65B in the trailing window — a strict cyber PSC lens, not the full IT category.

●

Department of Defense ($2.31B), Department of Veterans Affairs ($2.12B), and Department of Homeland Security ($973M) lead DA10 buyers.

●

Dell Federal Systems L.P. ($666M), CSRA LLC ($390M), and V3Gate, LLC ($383M) mix product/reseller and services primes on the awardee table.

●

Reseller concentration (Dell, Minburn, Accenture) remains visible — capture teams should separate product flow from pure services cyber.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cybersecurity

Where can I find open cybersecurity contracts and bids?

PrimeRFP SCOUT surfaces open federal and SLED cybersecurity contracts — RFPs, RFQs, sources-sought notices, and BPAs — from SAM.gov and state, local, and education sources, plus upcoming cybersecurity recompetes with named incumbents before they hit the street. Opportunities are classified against PSC DA10 (Cybersecurity and Information Assurance) and NAICS 5415, so you see cyber-specific work rather than the broader IT services market. Start a $90 Pilot to search live cybersecurity bids and track recompetes.

How much federal cybersecurity contracting is there?

Under PSC DA10 (Cybersecurity and Information Assurance) — the strictest federal taxonomy for cyber services — obligations reached $8.65B across 6,985 contracts in the trailing 12 months (2025-08-16 → 2026-08-04). DoD leads at $2.31B, followed by VA at $2.12B. Source: PrimeRFP SCOUT · obligations only · ≥$100K · calendar-year basis.

Why is this number smaller than the IT figure?

The IT & Software page reports ~$46.3B under the full OMB IT Category, which includes DA10 cyber services plus DA01 (Other IT & Telecom Support), D399 (IT services not elsewhere classified), and many other D-series and 5xxx PSCs. This page intentionally uses only DA10 so it reports the strict cybersecurity services market — not IT broadly. The DA10 figure here is a subset of the IT Category number, not a separate measurement.

Why don't you use NAICS to measure cybersecurity?

No NAICS code isolates cybersecurity firms cleanly. NAICS 5415 (Computer Systems Design & Related Services) is the broadest IT-services classification and covers many firms that do no cyber work at all. The NAICS 5415 companion view on this page totals ~$46.2B (five-buyer lens) — this is a firm-classification lens, not a cyber market measurement, and is shown only for transparency.

Data & Methodology

Federal contract and award data sourced from government procurement systems — including FPDS-NG, SAM.gov, and related federal data repositories. PrimeRFP SCOUT ingests, normalizes, and continuously updates records as agencies publish them. Reporting timelines vary by agency; some components (particularly DoD) carry a 60–90 day lag relative to award execution.

Dataset coverage — ≥ $100K floor

All intelligence on this page and within SCOUT is filtered to federal contract awards whose current total award value is $100K or more. PrimeRFP applies this floor at the award level (on current_total_value_award), not per-transaction, so large awards split across many mid-size obligation lines are retained in full. PrimeRFP's own empirical sampling against the raw USASpending dataset shows this threshold captures 98%+ of total federal contract dollars while excluding a long tail of micro-purchases, small modifications, and administrative actions — the trade-off that makes market intelligence tractable without distorting the dollar picture. Coverage: 560,000+ active contract awards and 2.5M+ unique awardees, including small-business set-asides, task orders, and mid-market opportunities.

Award identification: Each record is keyed by federal Award ID (PIID). Task orders recorded as independent awards appear as separate rows. IDIQs and their task orders are tracked distinctly.

Why SCOUT dollar figures differ from published annual totals: Per-agency dollar figures on SCOUT intelligence pages aggregate all USASpending transaction records — including base contract awards, task orders, delivery orders, and modifications to existing contracts. Annual federal contract obligation figures cited in industry reports (e.g., FY2025: $833.8B per Bloomberg Government) count only new prime award actions in the fiscal year, excluding mods. An IDIQ vehicle (like OASIS+) carries no obligation at award — only task orders issued against it are counted. SCOUT's transaction-level aggregates are larger because they capture the full activity picture across a contract's lifecycle, making them useful for competitive analysis and pipeline sizing rather than year-over-year spending comparison.
