# State Department Awards Zagreb Software Contract

The U.S. Department of State awarded Oxygen Forensics a noncompetitive $50,000 software contract through the U.S. Embassy in Zagreb, with performance continuing through September 2027. The award supports a Department of Justice program that trains and advises foreign law-enforcement agencies. It is drawing procurement-integrity and supply-chain scrutiny following reports that federal agencies had received warnings about the company’s ownership and U.S. criminal charges alleging that executives concealed Russian ownership; those allegations have not been established as proven in the article. An earlier State Department award to the firm was also reported.

- The current award is identified as contract 19HR9026P0639 and was issued August 28; the year was not stated. Its noncompetitive basis and reported ownership concerns are relevant to agencies assessing vendor responsibility and supply-chain risk.
- The extracted information also identifies an earlier $180,000 State Department contract with Oxygen Forensics, indicating prior agency business with the firm.
- Procurement teams reviewing comparable software acquisitions can assess whether vendor ownership disclosures and supply-chain risks are addressed in their existing due-diligence and award-review processes.
