AI Contract Overview
The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) has issued Innovation Call #01 under the DCSA Innovation Gateway (HS0021-26-CSO-DCSA) to develop a functional prototype for a Unified Application Access and Integration layer. The objective is to resolve fragmented workflows and inconsistent user experiences across mission operations by transitioning from siloed legacy capabilities to a modular, secure-by-design integrated platform using a hub-and-spoke model. The prototype will initially onboard a set of Individual Engagement applications, including eApp, IEP, PDT, and required forms such as PVQ and DD254. The project is estimated to start on October 15, 2026, with a six-month duration divided into four sequential phases, including a final validation phase to confirm performance across mission workflows and obtain an Authorization to Operate (ATO). The effort is conducted under Other Transaction Agreements (OTA) in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 4022, requiring participants to be nontraditional defense contractors, small businesses, or nonprofit research institutions. Work will be performed remotely or at the contractor's facility, with integration and deployment occurring within the government-provided DCSA IL5 cloud environment in Unclassified JWCAC AWS GovCloud. Proposers must submit a Solution Concept Paper by September 18, 2026, adhering to strict formatting guidelines and providing a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate. Evaluation is based on concept viability, mission alignment, and affordability. Successful prototype completion may lead to a follow-on production OTA or FAR-based contract for operational scaling and sustainment.

Full Description
DCSA INNOVATION GATEWAY
INNOVATION CALL #01
Unified Application Access and Integration Prototype
This is Innovation Call #01 under the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) Innovation Gateway (HS0021-26-CSO-DCSA).
Requirement Title
Unified Application Access and Integration Prototype
Problem Statement
DCSA’s mission operations for personnel vetting, industrial security, counterintelligence, and insider-threat activities are supported by multiple separate applications that users must navigate to complete related work. This fragmented environment creates disconnected workflows, inconsistent authentication and user experiences, and inefficient access paths that increase user burden and reduce operational efficiency. It also adds complexity to the sustainment, modification, and modernization of mission applications and services.
DCSA requires a more unified and user-centered approach that improves workflow continuity and usability while preserving continuity of operations for existing Individual Engagement (IE) applications during prototype development and evaluation. The underlying challenge is to transition from siloed legacy capabilities to an integrated platform of modular components that can support phased integration, replacement, and modernization of back-end services without disrupting the user experience or mission execution.
