The currently fielded twenty-nine (29) IT solutions comprise a complex and fully integrated system-of-systems that require a significant level of effort to sustain, considering technology modernization, statutory and regulatory governance, and performance issue resolution. Maintain and upgrading systems require a selection of skilled individuals with catered skillsets across organizations. Additionally, development of new IT solutions and capabilities will continue to grow in response to Continuous Process Improvement (CPI), Business Process Re-engineering (BPR), and Consolidation and Rationalization (C&R) activities.

Agile software development teams will continue to sustain existing IT solutions as well as develop new capabilities in response to business transformation projects. Depending upon specific tasking, the agile teams are typically comprised of both Government and contractor personnel. Considering the level of effort associated with sustainment of current applications and development of new IT solutions, the contractor may be required to provide concurrent support for approximately twenty (20) to twenty-five (25) agile development projects of varying levels of complexity, consisting of approximately two (2) to three (3) contractor personnel per agile Team.
