The Army Contracting Command Rock Island (ACC-RI), in collaboration with the General Services Administration (GSA), is conducting market research on behalf of the Army Analytics Group (AAG). The primary goal of this initiative is to identify contractors capable of providing advanced system configuration and analytical services aimed at supporting the Army's senior leadership. This effort is part of a broader strategy to enhance innovative application and data integration services across the Army's enterprise systems. AAG plays a crucial role in delivering problem-solving capabilities by integrating massive amounts of enterprise data with cutting-edge Information Technology solutions.

The work being solicited involves Development Security Operations, Hosting, and Software Support for AAG's enterprise IT applications within the Department of Defense (DoD). Contractors are expected to provide comprehensive software maintenance and enhancements for applications managed by AAG. This includes offering Data Integration and Transformation services, conducting Security Code Scanning, quality assurance support, as well as Configuration and Change management services for these applications. The objective is to ensure robust security measures and seamless application performance across all phases of their lifecycle.

In alignment with Army Directive 2024-02, which emphasizes modern software development practices such as continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), agile methodologies, lean principles, and Development Security Operations (DevSecOps), this contract seeks to foster an organizational culture that integrates security into every aspect of software development. DevSecOps aims to automate processes while ensuring that security testing occurs simultaneously alongside functional capability testing. This approach ensures that both security measures and functional features are built concurrently, enhancing overall application resilience.

The anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541519 - Other Computer Related Services. Interested contractors should have the necessary capabilities to fulfill these technical requirements while adhering to the established policies under DoDI 5000.87, which guide modern software development practices within military operations.
