The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is seeking potential vendors and system integrators through a Sources Sought notice titled "Platform One Sources Sought/Call to Industry." The objective is to identify innovative, dual-use commercial products and services that enable scalable centralized management of cloud and DevSecOps infrastructure, with a focus on solutions that can effectively manage Kubernetes distributions and containerized applications across multiple cloud environments. Interested vendors are encouraged to submit video proposals via the Platform One Solutions Marketplace (P1SM) by March 31, 2025, to be considered for evaluation in April. For inquiries, vendors can contact Maj Jamail Walker at jamail.walker.1@us.af.mil or Maj Matthew Jordan at matthew.jordan.24@us.af.mil.

Description of Effort

Platform One is seeking to identify potential vendors, technologies, and system integrators capable of providing innovative, dual-use commercial products or services enabling the scalable centralized management of cloud and DevSecOps infrastructure. Solutions must be effective for workloads operating across multiple AWS GovCloud accounts; however, preference will be given to solutions which are agnostic of cloud service providers. Solutions must, at minimum, effectively manage the repeatable, auditable, and automated configuration, deployment, and sustainment of Kubernetes distributions, Platform One’s Big Bang, and additional mission-specific containerized applications. 

To be considered for this effort, product vendors must include integration services in the solution submission either internally or in partnership with a systems integrator. System integrators without a vendor partnership will be considered if leveraging commercial and/or open-source tools in accordance with all applicable licenses.  

Acquisition Vehicle Information

Interested parties must provide a video submission to the Platform One Solutions Marketplace (P1SM) at https://www.p1-marketplace.com in reference to this special notice prior to 31 March 2025.

Regardless of selection by Platform One for this effort, awardable P1SM submissions are post-competition, decentralized and may be leveraged by other Federal organizations for future awards and/or agreements.

Description of Effort

Strategic Objective

Platform One is seeking to identify potential vendors, technologies, and system integrators capable of providing innovative, dual-use commercial products and/or services enabling the scalable centralized management of cloud and DevSecOps infrastructure.

Technical Information

If selected, comprehensive technical requirements will be detailed in a follow-on SOO, SOW, PWS or other requirement documentation. The following technical requirements are informational only and subject to change. Prospective vendors who intend to submit a video submission are advised to adhere to the evaluation criteria laid out in the P1SM solicitation and to select Strategic Focus Area(s) that best fit your submission.

Ideal solutions should be effective for workloads operating across multiple AWS GovCloud accounts; however, preference will be given to solutions which are agnostic of cloud service providers. Solutions should, at minimum, effectively manage the repeatable, auditable, and automated configuration, deployment, and sustainment of Kubernetes distributions, Platform One’s Big Bang, and additional mission-specific containerized applications. 

Product vendors should anticipate the need to include integration services within this effort either internally or in partnership with a systems integrator. System integrators without a vendor partnership will be considered if leveraging commercial and/or open-source tools in accordance with all applicable licenses.
