The requirement is for software that can perform the following:

-Store Code for configuration management.

-Track code module dependencies.

Sonatype Nexus is currently being utilized within the Software Engineering Environment (SE2). Nexus is a repository manager that allows for the proxy, collection, and management of code dependencies and makes it easy to distribute software allowing the automated publication of artifacts to Nexus which then become available to other developers. This software is critical in the efforts to ensure continuous integration, deployment and security of software code and will help the Army ensure quick delivery of products to the Warfighter.

5. Reasons for Authority Cited:

The intended software has been in use by SEC for over two years at this point.

Replacement of said software would not only require re-architecture of the current Software Engineering Environment (SE2), but would require countless man-hours to conduct the re-architecture. In addition, new licensing and requirements to re-train current employees would delay implementation of any alternate software solution, as well as delay the deployment of secure software to the Army Warfighter. Finally, using alternate tooling would require a complete re-work of the continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline and all configurations there-in. Moving to another solution could set progress back over two years.

This won’t affect an ATO much as it involves one commercial product versus another.

But there is labor happening as code is developed and this tool is used to manage that code as it is developed. It is not easy to exactly know the cost, but we can estimate

Contract:

that first if we don’t have this tool, we must find another tool that does the same thing so figure at least employee working for months to research, read, contact vendors, and determine which tool is the best choice. During that time, we lose configuration management of our code so we build software almost on the fly with no solid way to modify the code and rebuild, and no real idea of what other modules are required to keep in place for this code to work. So that code may become hard to manage later and may have to be redone once we have another code repository management tool.

This could be doing work that will have to largely be redone for a total of months lost effort. And when we get the new tool, the entire team must be trained in its use which could take for them to be proficient, so that means of not much work accomplished. The overall result is a total of of effort lost. months’ worth of a salary of = lost if we can get this tool. This is an estimate.

The use of brand name description in this acquisition is essential to the Governments requirements, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company

If the required software is not obtained it will result in the expiration of current licenses bringing a halt to all development or maintenance related to sustainment of software supporting the Warfighter. The software sustainment mission for security compliance cannot be accomplished without this application. The system would increase in risk of confidentiality, integrity, and availability if the system was not update on security.
