Contract vehicles & designations.
How to put us on contract, and the registrations a contracting officer or prime needs for due diligence.
Three ways to put us on contract.
Direct / open-market procurement
Agencies can purchase Glacier Byte services on the open market under the applicable competition rules. Our active SAM.gov registration gives the contracting officer the entity record needed for award.
Subcontract & teaming
For larger efforts, Glacier Byte joins the prime as the RMF and ATO compliance subcontractor, embedded under the program security umbrella and working in the prime’s tools and schedule.
Embedded specialist
Bring in a CISSP-led specialist to work inside your program on RMF scoping, implementation, authorization, and sustainment.
Registrations & codes.
Core identifiers for due diligence are collected here. Verify current registration status in SAM.gov before an award.
Small business, stated plainly.
Glacier Byte Technology is a small business under our primary NAICS codes. This page lists only the designations and contract vehicles we hold, so everything here is something you can contract against.
As we add vehicles and designations, they will appear here. If you have a teaming arrangement or a vehicle you want us to support, tell us and we will scope it.
Questions primes ask.
Can Glacier Byte Technology subcontract on our program?
Yes. We team with primes as the RMF and ATO compliance subcontractor, embedded under your program security umbrella. We are a registered small business (CAGE 9WYP0, UEI N3UKUXEY4RE5) and can join a team without a separate contract vehicle.
Can you support programs with clearance requirements?
Yes. Glacier Byte Technology provides TS/SCI clearable personnel who work inside the program security boundary.
What are your NAICS codes and small-business status?
Our primary NAICS is 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services); we also use 541715 (R&D in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) for SBIR and R&D work. We are a registered small business, active on SAM.gov (UEI N3UKUXEY4RE5, CAGE 9WYP0).
What compliance scope do you take on?
RMF lifecycle and ATO (categorization through authorization), continuous monitoring and ATO sustainment, System Security Plans and POA&M documentation, security assessments against your NIST 800-53 baseline, STIG and SRG hardening, and air-gapped SIEM implementation using Splunk or the Elastic Stack.
How do we put you on contract?
Three common paths are an open-market procurement conducted under the applicable acquisition rules, a subcontract or teaming arrangement with a prime, or an embedded CISSP-led specialist inside the program. The contracting officer or prime determines the available path.
Do you hold a socioeconomic set-aside or a contract vehicle?
Glacier Byte Technology is a registered small business (NAICS 541512). This page lists every designation and contract vehicle we hold, and new ones appear here as they are awarded.
Discuss a teaming arrangement or award.
Tell us about the program and the path you have in mind. We will tell you how we would scope the RMF work and where we fit on your team.
Contact usCan a small business subcontractor run our RMF package?
Glacier Byte Technology can run your RMF package as a small-business subcontractor to the prime. We own categorization, control implementation statements, the SSP, evidence, POA&Ms, and assessment responses, and we work inside the prime's schedule, tools, and approval process, including eMASS.
Who provides RMF and ATO support for small defense programs?
Glacier Byte Technology is a small, agile RMF and ATO support company in Helena, Montana that supports defense programs nationwide. A CISSP-led team takes a system from categorization through the authorization decision, handles the integration work that gets it there, and runs continuous monitoring afterward. Small programs get senior people on every task, not a junior team behind a sales lead.
