# DHS Reopens CWMS 3.0 Competition

After the GAO sustained a protest of DHS’s CWMS 3.0 procurement, DHS requested revised proposals and WidePoint resubmitted. The reported $3.1 billion figure describes the earlier single-award approach, not a settled award. Meanwhile, WidePoint continues CWMS 2.0/2.5 bridge work, reporting $33.7 million in Q3 2026 task orders against a stated $113 million CWMS 2.5 ceiling; that work was expected to run through approximately February 2027, with some task orders potentially extending beyond the vehicle period. For contractors, the reevaluation creates renewed competition for the larger requirement while interim work and other ordering channels remain relevant.

- Companies pursuing CWMS 3.0 should account for the revised-proposal evaluation and avoid treating the earlier $3.1 billion figure as an awarded contract value.
- Incumbents and prospective subcontractors can assess CWMS 2.0/2.5 bridge task orders and the potential duration of work while CWMS 3.0 is reevaluated.
- NASA SEWP VI ordering opened November 1, 2026; eligible contractors can respond to agency RFQs through the vehicle. WidePoint also anticipated a Census 2030 RFP in Q4 2026, according to the earnings-call signal.
