     I looked up "18f" on Wikipedia:

     > 18F was a digital services agency within the Technology Transformation Services department of the General Services Administration (GSA) of the United States Government.

     Was.

     > On March 1, Shedd sent an email to all 18F staff, describing them as "non-essential" and "non-critical", and eliminated the office "under direction from the White House"

     And a DNS query for 18f\.gsa\.gov shows NXDOMAIN
