Act Now: Turn Fiscal Year End Funds Into Quantum Safe Defense
Introduction to Cassian Lifecycle PQC Migration
Federal agencies face a hard deadline. President Trump’s June 2026 Executive Order (EO) 14412 and OMB Memorandum M-26-15 require every agency to submit a quantum safe migration plan and show real progress before the year closes. Adversaries are already collecting encrypted government data, storing it until quantum computers can break it open. Every month of delay adds more exposed records to that pile.
Cassian discovers vulnerable cryptography, builds the PQC migration plan, and then executes, governs, and monitors the transition at mission scale. Where most tools stop at scanning or advisory planning, Cassian solves the problem end-to-end, and executes the plan. Cassian is especially powerful as the management and control plane for Isidore Quantum® — drop-in PQC solution— transforming distributed appliances into a unified, resilient, mission-ready fleet.
Cassian addresses the deadline requirements for PQC migration including:
A risk-based system prioritization strategy, with justification
Timelines and milestones for the migration phases
A TLS 1.3 testing and deployment schedule supporting the January 2, 2030 deadline
The methodologies and automated tools used or planned for the cryptographic inventory
A plan for achieving cryptographic agility
A third-party and vendor coordination plan
Estimated funding and personnel requirements
A risk-management strategy for the migration period
Defined governance roles and responsibilities

Fiscal year 2026 dollars expire September 30. Program Offices that act now, can take advantage of acquisition flexibility to meet the October 22, 2026 OMB deadline.
Introduction to the Isidore Quantum Mobile Kit (IQMK)
Cassian paired with the IQMK gives your team a complete, portable command center for post quantum readiness. The accompanying Isidore Quantum HSM hardware was invented by the National Security Agency (NSA) and licensed to Forward Edge-AI. Isidore Quantum is Commercial National Security Algorithms (CNSA) Suite 2.0 compliant and adds less than 90 microseconds of latency, so mission systems keep running at full speed.
Choose the Fastest Way to Buy
Forward Edge-AI is offering an End of Fiscal Year package that combines Cassian with the Isidore Quantum Mobile Kit. Early deployment helps organizations demonstrate measurable progress toward the requirements of OMB Memorandum M 26 15 by improving cryptographic visibility, reducing manual discovery effort, and producing actionable migration data that supports agency quantum readiness objectives.
Using remaining fiscal year funds, agencies can acquire the bundle through:
Purchase card. One Isidore Quantum Mobile Kit costs $7,600 with a Government discount code, within most purchase card limits. Contracting Officers can order today and have a working unit in hand before the fiscal year closes.
Phase III SBIR sole source. Forward Edge-AI holds Air Force, Army, and Space Force SBIR awards for Cassian and Isidore Quantum. Agencies can award a sole source contract under this authority without new competition. Our fastest recorded award closed in one day.
CDAO Tradewinds. Agencies already on the Tradewinds vehicle can issue a task order directly to Forward Edge AI, skipping a new procurement action and keeping funds inside the current fiscal year.
US Air Force Commercial Solutions Offering. Expedient Basing Challenge CSO provides one of the fastest acquisition pathways available, enabling DoW organizations to obligate remaining fiscal year funds quickly through streamlined commercial contracting while accelerating prototype awards and operational deployment before the September 30 deadline.
Federal agencies can generate required reports and rapidly manage the PQC migration by following three simple steps that enable obligation of fiscal year funds in less than eight hours through streamlined acquisition pathways, with delivery typically completed within 30 to 60 days.
A limited time Cassian and Isidore Quantum Mobile Kit bundle helps organizations accelerate compliance with OMB Memorandum M 26 15 by quickly identifying cryptographic risk, supporting NIST approved post quantum migration, and demonstrating measurable progress toward Federal quantum readiness objectives:
First, contact Brandon Chapman, Chief Growth Officer, to confirm funding, obtain a government discount code, and pick a path.
Second, complete a short market survey memo for sole source awards, buy through our eCommerce site (we accept government purchase cards), or generate an invoice and submit a purchase order.
Third, deploy your IQMK, start discovery within 30 minutes of power on, and show measurable readiness progress before September 30.
Quantum safe deadlines will not move. Fiscal year 2026 funds will not carry forward. Agencies that act in the next few weeks turn a compliance deadline into a finished mission. Waiting only shrinks the window and grows the risk.
