Exiger has won a position on a potential 10-year, $919 million blanket purchase agreement awarded by the General Services Administration to facilitate the acquisition of supply chain risk illumination tools and analytic support services.
In late March, GSA selected Exiger and eight other vendors for the Supply Chain Risk Illumination Professional Tools and Services, or SCRIPTS, BPA, which is sponsored by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment.
“DoD has once again recognized the differentiated strength of our award-winning supply chain AI, selecting Exiger as the highest-ranked unrestricted prime awardee in the SCRIPTS BPA evaluation,” Exiger President Carrie Wibbe Kaupp said in a statement published Tuesday.
“Our acquisition and integration of leading defense and microelectronics parts intelligence capabilities, software bill of materials (SBOM) analytics, and multi-tier visibility AI provide unparalleled visibility into the lifecycle vulnerabilities, sourcing challenges, and security concerns that stifle defense, modernization, and production efforts,” she added.
Exiger’s AI Supply Chain Risk Tech
The company’s 1Exiger is an artificial intelligence technology designed to help organizations detect, orchestrate, map and secure supply chains.
The FedRAMP-authorized supply chain visibility platform could help agencies and companies gain insights for rapid decision-making, achieve compliance and improve strategic resilience.
What Is the SCRIPTS BPA?
The GSA-administered SCRIPTS BPA seeks to mitigate risks of fraud, abuse and adversarial exploitation of the supply chain.
Through this procurement vehicle, the Department of Defense and federal civilian executive branch agencies will have access to deployable supply chain risk illumination tools for vendor vetting, cyber hygiene and foreign ownership control and influence, among others, to help screen vendors and evaluate supplier risks in real time.
In October 2023, GSA released a draft request for quote for the BPA, which has a five-year base term and a five-year option period.
