NASA Selects Phoenix Cyber for SEWP VI IT Mission-Based Services

NASA has selected Phoenix Data Security Inc., doing business as Phoenix Cyber, as an awardee in Category C, IT Mission-Based Services, of its Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) VI government-wide acquisition contract. Category C is the program’s largest small-business set-aside category. The award gives federal agencies an established ordering route for Phoenix Cyber’s technology services, with orders available under contract 80TECH26D0258 beginning November 1, 2026. The announcement was issued October 30, 2026, with the company’s release identifying the award in Scottsdale, Arizona, on October 28.

SEWP VI is a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract through which federal agencies can procure information technology, communications, audiovisual solutions, and related services. Phoenix Cyber’s Category C scope includes cybersecurity, software engineering, data analytics, IT consulting, network operations, and engineering support. The stated $20 billion individual-awardee contract ceiling applies to the contract vehicle and is not a guaranteed amount of revenue for Phoenix Cyber. Actual business will depend on agency requirements, task orders, competition among eligible awardees, and customer ordering decisions.

The award creates a potential procurement path for agencies seeking to source multiple technology and mission-support capabilities through one vehicle. Phoenix Cyber says the contract can help agencies access its experience in cybersecurity, data protection, application modernization, and automation, including support for security operations center (SOC) modernization and security automation priorities. Founder and Managing Partner Brian Kafenbaum said the vehicle offers agencies “a faster way” to bring that experience to those priorities, with the aim of reducing risk and returning staff time to mission work. That characterization is the company’s view; agencies will determine requirements, ordering approaches, and task-level outcomes.

For contractors, the award is relevant both as a possible teaming avenue and as an addition to Phoenix Cyber’s existing federal contract portfolio. The company reports more than 15 years delivering cybersecurity engineering, automation, data protection, and operational sustainment services to U.S. government customers. Its other listed vehicles are GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), DLA JETS 2.0, GSA OASIS+, and SeaPort NxG. The SEWP VI award therefore gives defense and civilian customers another ordering option, while competitors and prospective teammates can evaluate where Phoenix Cyber’s stated service areas align with agency demand and upcoming task-order requirements.
