Contract Opportunity Analysis
The U.S. Army’s Project Manager for Command and Control Applications is seeking industry input through an RFI on a Next Generation Command and Control software application storefront, pipeline, and tailorable warfighting applications. The effort centers on a teaming model with a singular lead to manage a unified development pipeline and application storefront while integrating GOTS, COTS, and tactical solutions into a modular, interoperable portfolio for the Warfighter. The government is especially interested in vendors with direct control over capability development and innovation, and it is asking about technical architecture, data layer integration, cybersecurity, accreditation, DevSecOps toolchains, and support for IL5/IL6 and DDIL environments as it shapes a possible future acquisition strategy. This is market research only, with an industry day planned for May 5, 2026, responses due May 27, 2026, and the listed place of performance at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.

AI Summary
The document is an RFI from the U.S. Army's Program Manager Command and Control Applications (PM C2 Apps) seeking industry feedback on the development of a Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) storefront and DevSecOps pipeline. The RFI addresses various aspects, including technical architecture, data layer integration, cybersecurity, accreditation, application lifecycle management, commercial models, and operational environments. Key areas of inquiry involve defining the 'data layer,' the role of a 'singular lead' vendor in managing interoperable applications, acceptable ATOs, preferred DevSecOps toolchains, and strategies for handling classified networks (IL5/IL6) and disconnected, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) environments. The government is using this RFI to inform its acquisition strategy, refine its understanding of technical requirements, and shape future solicitations, potentially through the Army Open Solicitation (AOS) in Q3 FY26.
