1Kosmos Secures Position as a Full-Service Credential Service Provider Under New GSA Category

Inclusion in GSA’s SIN 541519CSP Validates 1Kosmos as a Trusted, Compliant Vendor for Federal Digital Identity Services

ISELIN, N.J. — September 4, 2025 — 1Kosmos, a leader in unifying identity proofing and passwordless authentication, today announced that it has been named a Full-Service Credential Service Provider (CSP) under the General Services Administrations (GSAs) newly established Special Item Number (SIN 541519CSP). The company’s inclusion was secured in collaboration with Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider^®. This inclusion marks a significant milestone in expanding the accessibility of secure, NIST-aligned digital identity services for Federal agencies.

“This designation reinforces 1Kosmos as a proven, high-assurance credential service provider aligned with the U.S. Government’s highest standards for digital identity,” said Hemen Vimadalal, CEO of 1Kosmos. “As agencies modernize their identity infrastructure, 1Kosmos offers faster procurement, lower integration risk and a FedRAMP High-authorized cloud platform built for secure identity proofing and lifecycle management at scale.”

SIN 541519CSP is a newly created category under the GSA Schedule to streamline how Federal agencies procure digital credentialing services. The SIN identifies pre-vetted vendors that meet stringent technical, privacy and operational requirements derived from NIST SP 800-63. This includes full-service Credential Service Provider (CSP)s that deliver end-to-end enrollment, identity verification, authentication, credential lifecycle management and component-service providers.

The GSA CSP SIN imposes additional Federal-grade security and compliance requirements. To qualify, vendors must be listed on the Kantara Trust Status List, demonstrate conformance with the Identity and Authenticator (I&A) requirements of NIST SP 800-63 and maintain at least a FedRAMP Moderate Authorization to Operate (ATO) or be actively pursuing FedRAMP authorization.

1Kosmos inclusion in SIN 541519CSP reflects the company’s commitment to privacy-preserving, phishing-resistant identity services. The company delivers secure, scalable identity verification and authentication used daily by leading Government agencies and Private Sector organizations worldwide.

The new SIN also reflects broader Government efforts to consolidate procurement, improve digital trust, and reduce inefficiencies. According to the GSA, Federal spending on credential services has grown sixfold in recent years—from $6 million to $36 million—driven by agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, which accounted for $18.83 million in awards in fiscal year 2023 alone.

“The addition of 1Kosmos to GSA’s SIN 541519CSP is a critical step in expanding access to its solutions,” said Tyler Nelson, Sales Manager who leads the 1Kosmos Team at Carahsoft. “This accomplishment highlights 1Kosmos’s dedication to providing advanced cybersecurity solutions for Government agencies. We look forward to working with 1Kosmos and our reseller partners to support innovative initiatives in the Public Sector.”
