Insights
WidePoint's new DOE contract validates their MobileAnchor solution's market traction and enhances their federal cybersecurity footprint.
WidePoint has secured a new one-year contract with a Department of Energy agency to implement their proprietary MobileAnchor platform for secure mobile authentication. This contract represents meaningful market validation in the federal sector, where contract awards typically undergo rigorous vetting processes.
The contract's strategic value extends beyond immediate revenue. It centers on providing Derived Credentials for mobile devices that comply with stringent FIPS 201 and NIST SP 800-157 guidelines – federal standards that form the backbone of government authentication requirements. This positions WidePoint in the high-priority federal mobile security market.
Particularly noteworthy is WidePoint's technological approach to legacy system integration. Their solution includes proxy server authentication capabilities, enabling agencies to implement modern mobile authentication without overhauling existing infrastructure – a significant advantage when selling to government agencies with extensive legacy systems.
The contract demonstrates two important market signals: first, that federal agencies are actively investing in mobile-first authentication solutions, and second, that WidePoint's solution is gaining traction in this competitive space. Each new agency deployment strengthens WidePoint's position in the federal identity and access management ecosystem, which features long-term relationships and potential for follow-on business.
FAIRFAX, VA / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2025 / WidePoint Corporation (NYSE American:WYY), a leading provider of trusted identity, data, and cybersecurity solutions, today announced a new contract award by an agency under the U.S. Department of Energy to deliver secure mobile authentication using WidePoint's proprietary MobileAnchor® platform.
Under the one-year agreement, WidePoint will provide Derived Credentials on mobile devices, enabling agency personnel to securely authenticate to federal systems and applications in full compliance with FIPS 201 and NIST SP 800-157 guidelines.

This method provides a seamless way for organizations to use MobileAnchor® without needing to replace or overhaul existing infrastructure.
Jason Holloway, WidePoint's Chief Revenue Officer, stated: "WidePoint's MobileAnchor® is a game-changer in making secure, mobile-first authentication accessible to legacy systems. This ability to authenticate through a proxy server is a powerful way to bridge the gap between modern identity management and older systems, enabling organizations to strengthen security without significant infrastructure upgrades."
