DASA-CE SW Group

DASA-CE SW Group operates within the Department of the Army’s Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology, overseeing the procurement of advanced software systems, test and evaluation platforms, and mission-critical engineering solutions. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs aligned with modernization priorities, they facilitate the development and fielding of next-generation analytical tools, battlefield communications infrastructure, and sustainment technologies that enhance operational readiness and test range capabilities. Their portfolio emphasizes large-scale, mission-essential software integrations, simulation environments, and data-driven decision support systems critical to Army modernization initiatives. The group maintains longstanding partnerships with leading defense contractors including FLUOR INTERCONTINENTAL, INC, KBR SERVICES, LLC, LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION, ARMY SUSTAINMENT LLC, and THE BOEING COMPANY. These relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contracts for systems engineering, software development, and integrated test range modernization. The group consistently engages prime contractors with proven capabilities in defense-grade software architecture, secure cloud environments, and mission-critical systems integration, favoring established industry partners with deep technical expertise and proven track records in DoD environments. DASA-CE SW Group does not employ set-aside programs, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing the rapid delivery of high-assurance systems over targeted small business participation. While small businesses are not excluded, procurement decisions are driven by technical merit, past performance, and the ability to meet stringent defense standards. The group’s procurement focus centers on software development, systems engineering, test and evaluation services, and advanced instrumentation—primarily under NAICS categories related to defense R&D, software publishing, and scientific research and development. Their technical domain expertise spans secure mission software, digital twin simulations, battlefield data fusion, and automated test automation systems, ensuring the Army’s scientific and engineering workforce remains equipped with cutting-edge analytical capabilities.
