(May 18, 2021) Valiant Solutions, LLC (Valiant), has been awarded a five-year, $300 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the U.S. Department of Education (DoED) to provide Cybersecurity and Privacy Support Services (CPSS) for Federal Student Aid (FSA) and the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). The award continues the successful partnership between the DoED and Valiant. The company currently provides Information Security Continuous Monitoring (ISCM) Program support for the OCIO as a prime contractor.

“We are honored to receive this award and look forward to strengthening our partnership with the Department of Education,” says CEO, Matt Raydo. He continues, “Cybersecurity remains one of the most important issues facing the federal government and we look forward to playing this vital role in protecting the Department’s systems and information.” 

The DoED CPSS BPA will be used to provide Cybersecurity Risk Management and Compliance, Information Systems Security Services, Cybersecurity Operations, Software Capability Development, Security Architecture Support, Security Engineering and Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation.

Vice President of Operations, Geoff Gregory, says, "With the BPA available for use Department-wide, Valiant will help new Program Office clients draw greater value out of their existing toolset as they pivot to data-centric and risk-focused approaches that balance compliance, security and cost. Valiant's incumbency at the OCIO level helps ensure interoperable technology and process alignment for the Program Offices."
