REQUEST FOR INFORMATION - OPERATIONAL TEST AND TRAINING READINESS DIVISION - DevSecOps

Solicitation # OTTI_2026_RFI_SpecDevOps

Space Systems Command is conducting market research through this Request for Information to evaluate the feasibility of a no-cost Prototype Other Transaction Agreement under 10 U.S.C. § 4022. The primary technical objective is to design, engineer, and validate a secure, multi-node, multi-vendor continuous software development and delivery architecture. This prototype aims to test the viability of connecting commercially owned and operated secure facility nodes directly to secure Government cloud environments to enable scalable DevSecOps pipelines. By establishing these connections, the government seeks to improve software accreditation timelines and deployment reliability, specifically addressing the technical bottlenecks involved in migrating software from unclassified environments across high-to-low security boundaries into highly secure networks. The market research follows a two-phase approach, beginning with a public Phase 1 to identify baseline commercial capabilities, followed by a controlled Phase 2 for detailed technical integration with vetted vendors. Participating commercial vendors are expected to provide 100% of the cost-share, covering physical secure facilities, personnel clearances, and engineering labor. Requirements include the use of DevOps toolchains, containerization, and Kubernetes, with all vendors being entirely U.S.-owned and operated to preclude foreign ownership, control, or influence. Interested parties must submit a white paper of no more than five pages by September 4, 2026. While general business information is submitted via email, sensitive data such as Facility Security Clearance levels and CAGE codes must be provided through a separate, secure channel. Successful completion of the prototype node and demonstration of safe, secure software transmission may qualify vendors for potential sole-source follow-on production contracts.
