Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Permissions Architecture

The contract seeks the design and implementation of a role-based access control (RBAC) model tailored to support multiple user roles across diverse schools and programs within a Department of Defense environment. The solution must establish a scalable and secure permissions architecture that enforces least-privilege access, ensuring users can only interact with systems and data necessary for their defined roles. A baseline commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) role-permission matrix must be developed to serve as the foundation for audit readiness, governance compliance, and consistent policy enforcement across all affected entities. The work is to be performed in Montgomery, Alabama, with a response deadline of May 27, 2026, and is classified as a subcontract under the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. The project emphasizes governance and accountability, requiring documented controls that align with federal security standards and support ongoing audits. The architecture must accommodate future growth, adapt to evolving institutional needs, and enable clear traceability of permissions to roles and users without relying on custom-built exceptions. Execution will require deep familiarity with enterprise access systems, risk mitigation practices, and the ability to integrate seamlessly with existing Department of Defense infrastructure.
