Cloud Infrastructure Architecture & DevSecOps Pipeline Integration

The contract requires the design and implementation of a secure, scalable cloud-native architecture for the AIDP platform, emphasizing DevSecOps principles through fully integrated CI/CD pipelines that embed security at every stage of development and deployment. The solution must leverage containerization technologies and infrastructure-as-code methodologies to ensure repeatability, consistency, and automation across environments. Compliance with Zero Trust architecture standards is mandatory, requiring strict identity verification, least privilege access controls, and continuous monitoring throughout the system lifecycle. All elements must align with Department of Defense cybersecurity frameworks and operational requirements. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512, with a response deadline of August 12, 2026, and is solicited by the Department of Defense through the W6QK Acc-Apg office. Performance is expected to support federal defense infrastructure and must meet stringent security, scalability, and resilience benchmarks without reliance on legacy systems. The contractor must demonstrate proven experience in delivering similar cloud-native, secured environments for government clients, with an emphasis on automation, auditability, and real-time threat mitigation. There is no set-aside designation, and all submissions must comply with the federal procurement requirements outlined in the solicitation.
