Description

Solicitation DEPT OF DEFENSE (DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY) is seeking White Papers for the development of a Distributed Hybrid Multi Cloud (DHMC) management plane. This centralized control plane will merge and rationalize all x86 server environments within the HaCC, including on-premises cloud assets, virtualized assets, dedicated host connected assets, and off-premises cloud assets. The DHMC prototype solution will be housed in multiple contiguous United States (CONUS) DISA datacenters and will support both NIPR and SIPR networks. The goal is to reduce the overall footprint, increase management efficiencies, and decrease costs. This opportunity is being conducted under the authority of 10 USC 4022 and is not subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Please refer to the attached RWP for more details and submission instructions.

Dept Of Defense
The Department of Defense (DoD) seeks to enhance its data management capabilities and develop advanced solutions through the Rapid Task Order Response (RAPTOR) program. The focus is on optimizing the Capability Delivery Pipeline's software development, containerized platforms, and cloud operations. DoD aims to leverage previous successes in research initiatives, namely the SIFTR and MAIDEN SBIR programs, to expedite the delivery of secure applications on a large scale. The SIFTR program specializes in software development, containerization, and DevSecOps practices, while MAIDEN SBIR offers expertise in big data architecture, data fusion, and AI/ML applications. This special notice is a precursor to a single-award IDIQ contract that will consolidate and expedite contract requirements, resulting in significant benefits. The successful awardee will be expected to provide a seamless integration of these two research initiatives, accelerating the development timeline. The key tasks involve enhancing the CDP's architecture and implementing advanced AI and data fusion technologies. The goal is to establish a streamlined and secure environment for rapid application deployment. DoD seeks a highly experienced contractor with a proven track record in software development, cloud operations, and AI/ML solutions. The eligibility criteria include a strong emphasis on past performance, technical expertise, and the ability to work within the complex government contracting environment. The estimated funding for this effort is expected to be around $5 million, and the contract will be awarded based on a combination of price and technical merit. The submission deadline is expected to be within approximately three months, and applicants should prepare comprehensive proposals detailing their experience and approach.
