WhiteHawk Secures Major Cybersecurity Contract with US Federal Government

About WhiteHawk Limited

WhiteHawk Limited (ASX: WHK), founded in 2018 and headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, is a cybersecurity technology company specialising in AI-powered cyber risk assessment and mitigation solutions. Through its proprietary Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings, WhiteHawk enables government agencies and private organisations to proactively identify, prioritise, and mitigate cyber threats across supply chains. The company operates primarily in the United States, where it delivers advanced analytics, vendor risk assessments, and continuous monitoring solutions to clients in highly regulated sectors. WhiteHawk shares are currently trading at $0.026 per share.

Major Role in Critical US Government Cyber Program

WhiteHawk has been appointed as the sole cyber risk partner on the Supply Chain Illumination Program Tools and Services Blanket Purchase Agreement (SCRIPTS BPA), a flagship US Government program aimed at improving supply chain security across federal agencies. The contract, valued at up to US$920 million over 10 years, was sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and will be operated under the US General Services Administration (GSA).

WhiteHawk’s appointment follows a highly competitive bidding process, where its team—consisting of Knexus Research, Babel Street, and Dun & Bradstreet—was selected as the only successful bidder from eight shortlisted teams out of 23 applicants. Under the agreement, WhiteHawk will provide its AI-powered cyber risk analytics, automated risk assessments, and monitoring services to US government departments, helping to combat threats such as fraud, foreign interference, and cyber vulnerabilities within federal supply chains.

Notably, this contract is not limited to the Department of Defense but is available for use by all US federal agencies through task orders issued under the BPA framework.

Strategic Advantage and Policy Tailwinds

The opportunity is further strengthened by a recent White House Executive Order, issued in March 2025, mandating the consolidation of federal procurement under the GSA. This directive is expected to substantially increase the use of pre-qualified government-wide contract vehicles such as the SCRIPTS BPA, thereby expanding the potential revenue opportunity for WhiteHawk and its consortium partners.

WhiteHawk’s solutions combine AI and machine learning-powered cyber risk datasets, real-time vendor risk assessments, and continuous monitoring to deliver actionable insights to federal agencies. The company’s platforms offer scalable, automated tools designed to address evolving cyber threats across both public and private supply chains.

Positioned for Recurring and Expanding Revenue

While the contract’s full revenue potential will depend on the volume of task orders issued, WhiteHawk expects to generate significant recurring revenues throughout the 10-year program. Each task order secured will provide WhiteHawk with the opportunity to deliver additional services and expand its footprint across US government departments.

Terry Roberts, Executive Chair of WhiteHawk, commented, “This award positions WhiteHawk to capture long-term value through recurring US Federal task orders for the next decade. Our combination of global datasets, AI-driven analytics, and scalable platforms uniquely positions us at the forefront of US supply chain cyber risk management.”

With this contract, WhiteHawk not only strengthens its position within the US Federal market but also cements its reputation as a trusted provider of cyber risk solutions amid rising cybersecurity concerns globally.

Outlook and Investor Focus

The company will now focus on executing its role within the BPA, with initial task orders expected to be issued in the coming quarters. In parallel, WhiteHawk is preparing to pursue additional opportunities within the US government’s expanding cyber risk management initiatives, supported by the policy shift towards streamlined procurement.

Investors will be watching for updates on task order wins, revenue generation under the SCRIPTS BPA, and WhiteHawk’s ability to leverage this contract into further US Federal Government work. With a scalable platform and strong strategic positioning, WhiteHawk is poised to benefit from long-term, policy-driven demand for cyber risk and supply chain security solutions.
