DISA plans to issue an OTA to "research, evaluate, test, and deliver a prototype utilizing cryptographic algorithms and solutions that would secure DoD IT systems against both quantum and classical computers."

Perspecta Enterprise Solutions will create a scalable security enterprise architecture and data services prototype for the National Background Investigation Service.

The service issued a solicitation earlier this month in search of commercial, vendor-owned IT services for its network, end user, and compute and storage needs.

The Pentagon wants its SABER.

TWOSENSE.AI announced a $2.42 million OTA contract to work with the Defense Information Systems Agency on "invisible continuous multi-factor authentication" for the military.

Agencies spent $64.7 billion on IT contracts last year, up 9.5 percent from fiscal 2017.
