"We are excited and looking forward to supporting FSA in its critical, national mission."
This BPA award adds to a series of recent wins for Foxhole Technology in the cybersecurity arena, including a $74 million Department of Homeland Security Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation contract, and a $116 million Transportation Security Administration contract.
