Market Survey for Software Engineering Services - Seeking Industry Capability Statements from Seaport Small Businesses for NIWC PAC Code 532 Application Arsenal (AA) Enterprise Engineering and Lifecycle Support

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for contractor-provided services for the Application Arsenal (AA) enterprise service. The primary purpose is to secure engineering, software development, technical services, and program management for the continued design, implementation, security, and sustainment of the AA platform. The scope includes full lifecycle systems engineering and software sustainment, with work primarily in the Overmatch Software Armory (OSA) but potentially extending to other government-mandated DevSecOps pipelines. AA is an enterprise distribution, update, and installation service for software at the tactical edge, supporting various DoD components and partners. Key performance requirements include AA development (capability development, cybersecurity engineering, fielding), software delivery pipeline integration, infrastructure integration (Cross-Domain Solution, autonomous systems, C2 data exchange), and rapid agile development and integration support. Sustainment efforts encompass operations and maintenance, system administration, cyber and information assurance, help desk support, training, logistics, and technical data reporting. The work is anticipated to be classified up to the SECRET level, with potential for TOP SECRET access. Deliverables will be specified in the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL), including a Software Development Plan and Monthly Status Reports. Performance objectives emphasize system sustainment, rapid agile development, CDRL delivery, cybersecurity, and training/logistics support.
