The Defense Information Systems Agency wants to hear from companies with experience and knowledge in the ServiceNow, Salesforce, Workday and Palantir platforms.
The Defense Information Systems Agency has taken a first step in creating the potential $500 million recompete of a contract to help it run an access portal that other agencies use to acquire DISA services.
DISA is calling the 10-year effort ADAPTS, short for All-Domain Adaptive Platforms and Technologies Support, and is seeking to hire a lead systems integrator to operate and sustain the Connect portal encompassing multiple software ecosystems.
DISA’s sources sought notice on ADAPTS posted Tuesday describes Connect as requiring sustained operations, continuous software integration, platform-as-a-service engineering and operational visibility.
The agency is specifically looking for responses from companies with experience and knowledge in the ServiceNow, Salesforce, Workday and Palantir platforms.
Industry is also being asked to detail their experience in coordinating support across at least three distinct platform ecosystems, as well as in managing cross-functional teams and multiple subcontractors.
DISA is particularly interested in how companies explain their approaches to securing and governing application development, configuration changes, integrations and data exchanges across the four named commercial software platforms.
Even with the CMMC cyber and supply chain security standard in limbo, DISA is requiring contractors to hold a Level 2 certification at the time of award.
Companies will have to state whether they completed a Joint Surveillance Voluntary Assessment or an evaluation conducted by a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization, submit their current Supplier Performance Risk System score, and provide a remediation milestone plan if they are not yet fully compliant.
Work under the ADAPTS contract would take place over an initial five-year base period with a single option to extend for five more years.
Responses to the RFI are due Nov. 30.
Business Computers Management Consulting Group is the incumbent contractor, having won the work through a five-year task order awarded in 2023 through DISA’s SETI vehicle for systems engineering services.
DISA has obligated $59 million in work to-date against the current order ahead of its April 2028 sunset, according to GovTribe data.
