U.S. Department of Defense Awards $551 Million Enterprise-Wide Contract for McAfee® Products and Services

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--McAfee®, the device to cloud cybersecurity company, announces that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has awarded three companies spots on a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) worth up to $551 million over five years to provide McAfee products across the DoD. EC America (immixGroup, an Arrow Company), DLT Solutions and International Systems Marketing (ISM) will partner with McAfee to fulfill the enterprise-wide BPA through DoD’s Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) program.
The agreement provides the most current, commercially available McAfee products, maintenance and support for DoD, intelligence community, and Coast Guard activities worldwide. The McAfee offerings available through the BPA include data protection and encryption, database security, endpoint protection, network security, security analytics, security management, server security, security information and event management (SIEM), web security, and all McAfee warranty and support services.
“McAfee’s selection for the ESI program underscores the Pentagon’s strategic focus on security from the device all the way to the cloud and offers a streamlined path to acquire McAfee solutions,” said Alex Chapin, McAfee’s executive director, DoD and Intelligence Community. “This new award builds on our track record with the DoD as the department transitions to the latest McAfee tools and technologies, and we look forward to working with our partners to continue meeting DoD’s evolving needs.”
The DoD ESI is an official DoD initiative sponsored by the DoD Chief Information Officer to lead in establishing and managing enterprise commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) IT agreements, assets and policies. It lowers the total cost of ownership across the DoD, Coast Guard and Intelligence Communities for commercial software, IT hardware and services.

The Navy has chosen three companies for a five-year, $550.8 million blanket purchase agreement to provide McAfee-branded IT products and services for use across the Defense Department, Coast Guard and intelligence community.
IT product resellers DLT Solutions, EC America and International Systems Marketing will vie for task orders to supply the offerings over the order’s duration.
They were the lone bidders for the BPA and the Navy made it available for 679 vendors to bid via the General Services Administration’s E-Buy website, the Defense Department said in its Wednesday contracts digest.
This BPA falls under DOD’s Enterprise Software Initiative that works to consolidate IT product and service acquisitions for the department.
Products covered under the agreement are for requirements such as client, data and server protection; data loss prevention; vulnerability management; email gateway security; and network intrusion prevention.
The award comes in the same week that the Navy chose IT product resellers Insight Public Sector for a separate $653.2 million BPA for the supply of Microsoft brand-name products throughout the service branch.
