Agile Defense Joint Venture Wins DISA Contract to Secure DOD Online Resources; Rick Wagner Quoted

2 mins read

A joint venture between Agile Defense and BuddoBot has received a potential four-year prime contract to improve authentication technologies for the Defense Information Systems Agency Joint Service Provider.

Under the award, which includes a one-year base period and three one-year option periods, Agile-Bot II will help DISA JSP increase the security of Department of Defense online resources, the Reston, Virginia-based company announced on Tuesday.

Rick Wagner, CEO of Agile Defense and a six-time Wash100 Award recipient, said this win represents Agile-Bot II’s “strong ability to unite best-in-class talent and exceptional technical solutions” to drive success in a challenging mission, a goal that is the “ultimate focus” of the joint venture.

Contracting activities will focus on ensuring that identity verification and strong credentials are provided to access protected digital materials using DOD Public Key Certificates. Agile-Bot II’s work will assist JSP as well as the Office of the Secretary of Defense, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Joint Staff, Department of the Army, Pentagon Force Protection Agency and Washington Headquarters Services. Other organizations in the National Capital Region as well as external clients will also be supported.

The award of this contract closely follows the joint venture’s win of a $162 million Air Force contract earlier this month, under which Agile-Bot II will enhance the Air Mobility Command’s command and control systems. The company’s responsibilities encompass modernization, technology insertion and performance analysis as well as tuning, maintaining, testing, migrating and integrating the systems into cloud environments.

Agile-Bot II was created to incorporate the capabilities of Agile Defense and BuddoBot to establish a small business able to manage a range of task orders within a competitive rate structure.
