5 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/INSTRUCTIONS.

5.1 Special IT Requirements

All IT products (requirements and solutions), to include software, hardware, processes and security products delivered to AFTAC as a requirement of this PWS shall adhere to the AFTAC Enterprise Infrastructure Baseline with any deviations approved by the AFTAC Infrastructure Strategy Council before delivery of the IT product. All IT deliveries are expected to integrate and conform to AFTAC’s Enterprise Infrastructure Baseline. Hardware, storage, and database requirements must be identified as soon as possible and presented to the AFTAC Infrastructure Strategy Council for approval.

This program expects the adoption and execution of the Preferred Agile Framework outlined by the Department of the Air Force, ensuring an architectural framework that can be adjusted throughout the period of performance. If feasible, adopting existing applications, components, and platforms is preferred over creating custom solutions.

Software solutions shall adhere to the AFTAC Software Development Strategy Document (SDSD), to include software security and quality considerations. Any deviations shall be presented to the AFTAC Software Strategy Council as soon as they are identified. (Reference Attachment C, “Software Development Strategy Document”).

All software developed for AFTAC will first be installed and tested in a development environment such as the Common Development Environment (CDE) at the appropriate classification level. The

Contractor shall supply on-site support for installation of software into AFTAC’s Continuous Integration (CI) Pipeline. The contractor shall also provide support to install and configure any middleware necessary to run the delivered software. Some software will remain in the CDE indefinitely. This software is intended for installation in the CDE and the operational environment.

The Contractor shall provide documentation as requested to support certification and accreditation processes as needed.

Software deliveries shall consist of source code of noncommercial software, all software dependencies, unit tests, related data, and associated license rights that are necessary across the life-cycle of that software, including development, testing, operations, and maintenance. This includes all artifacts necessary to reproduce, build, or recompile the software from its source code and required software libraries; to conduct required software testing; and to deploy on relevant system hardware. Binaries or executables without source code, unless identified as Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) with support, are not an acceptable delivery.

All software deliveries are complete after integration into AFTAC’s CI Pipelines, installed and running in the CDE, and contain clean security scans (to include source code scans, third-party dependency scans, and ACAS scans) if intended for the operational environment. Onsite support for installation onto CDE and production/operational networks may be required, as well as assistance with integration and system testing efforts. The final software product is considered completed once it can be run by a Government employee on AFTAC systems and it produces the results the software was developed for.

The contractor shall perform an Agile software engineering Discovery and Framing effort on the design and integration of the toolset(s) identified in this PWS. The analysis includes eliciting requirements from stakeholders within 24th ANS. The goal of the analysis is not to produce a complete requirements specification (as one would experience with a waterfall development methodology), but rather record the constraints (such as technologies supported by CYS and design considerations recommended by SDD) and the use cases/user stories from each stakeholder group. The outcome of the effort, accounting for projected deployment location and data accessibility considerations, will be preliminary architectural designs. Designs must meet government infrastructure and strategic plans. The system design will be presented to the government for approval before development begins.

The Contractor shall provide software changes and problem fixes as needed to support the operations, maintenance, and sustainment of the system. The contractor shall provide to the Government all developed, modified, or converted source modules, processes, programs, scripts, operating instructions, databases, system files, documentation, test files and test conditions used to develop each approved systems change request. When specified by the Government, the contractor shall participate with the Government in testing the system. The Contractor shall provide documentation as requested to support certification and accreditation processes as needed.

5.2 Contractor Identification in the Government Workplace.

When conversing with Government personnel during business meetings, over the telephone or via electronic mail, the contractor shall identify themselves as such to avoid situations arising where sensitive topics might be better discussed solely between Government employees. The contractor shall identify themselves on any attendance sheet or any coordination documents they may review.

Electronic mail signature blocks shall identify their company affiliation.
