Optiv + ClearShark Joins NASA SEWP VI as a Category A Prime

Optiv + ClearShark has been selected as a prime contractor under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) SEWP VI Category A governmentwide acquisition contract. The vehicle gives agencies a procurement channel for the company’s listed technology offerings, including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, and digital infrastructure. As with any governmentwide acquisition contract, prospective buyers should consult the applicable ordering materials to confirm scope, procedures, and requirements before making a purchase.

The selection comes alongside a leadership change tied to the company’s federal growth plans: Michael Saintcross has been appointed president to lead Optiv + ClearShark’s federal business and support expansion in the U.S. public sector. The announcement identifies managed services and localized engineering as additional areas of focus. Taken together, the appointment and contract-vehicle position indicate a stronger emphasis on serving government customers, though the source does not provide contract ceiling, pricing, task-order awards, or a projected revenue figure.

For agency procurement teams, SEWP VI Category A may offer an acquisition route to evaluate Optiv + ClearShark’s covered products and services. Access through a vehicle can help buyers begin market research and assess whether an offering aligns with a requirement, but it does not guarantee an order or establish that every service is within scope. Buyers should review current vehicle documentation and ordering guidance, verify the relevant catalog or offering details, and follow their agency’s acquisition procedures.

For industry, the development creates a potential point of entry for companies seeking to support federal cybersecurity, cloud, AI, digital infrastructure, managed services, or localized engineering requirements. Contractors may assess whether teaming or subcontracting arrangements with Optiv + ClearShark are relevant to upcoming needs. The announcement alone does not confirm specific teaming plans, task orders, or customer demand, so business development teams should treat those as opportunities to investigate rather than established outcomes.
