About this opportunity
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), operating under Washington Headquarters Services, is seeking modernized software solutions to replace the Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS), a nearly 30-year-old legacy system that manages foreign military sales case development. The solicitation is issued as a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) Area of Interest with responses due by 4:00 PM ET on April 8, 2026, and questions accepted through 4:00 PM ET on March 25, 2026. Contractors must develop modernized case lifecycle systems utilizing the SAFe Agile framework and DevSecOps methodologies, incorporating web applications, APIs, contemporary data architecture, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, automated testing, Software Bill of Materials generation, and task management with document repository capabilities. Solutions must comply with cybersecurity, accessibility, and Zero Trust standards as mandated by Executive Order 14268 on Reforming Foreign Defense Sales, and inherit and iterate upon the existing Case Launcher prototype codebase (React frontend with Kotlin/Quarkus backend). The government intends to conduct this procurement in up to three phases, with Phase II and III potentially initiated upon successful Phase I completion, and the evaluation will prioritize alignment with DSCA IT standards, technical feasibility, modernization approach, and compliance with specified technical requirements including real-time bi-directional synchronization with a legacy Oracle database supporting approximately 3,000 to 4,000 users.
This solicitation contains no set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractor is identified. The contract award value and budget range have not been disclosed in the available documents. The period of performance is negotiable but nominally 24 months, and the government may award multiple agreements under this solicitation. Key technical details include support for a target user population of 250 to 400 concurrent users, integration with 23 interface partners across financial and workflow systems, hosting in DISA's IL5 cloud environment with DISA Enterprise ICAM for identity and access management, and Phase 1 responses should focus on the Training Module as a minimal proof of concept. Performance of work will occur at both contractor and government facilities within and outside the National Capital Region, with Secret-level facility clearance required, and contractors must provision all development environments, tools, and platforms without government-furnished resources. Foreign participation is permitted for subcontractors or teaming arrangements, excluding countries of concern, and offerors must satisfy eligibility conditions outlined in CSO HQ0034259WHSCSO Section I.e.

AMENDMENT 1 - Questions and Answers (attached), and Submission date modified to 4PM (ET), April 8, 2026.
The Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS) is a mission essential system for the Security Cooperation (SC) community that provides military departments (MILDEPs) and Defense Agencies with the functionality necessary to develop and implement all unclassified Security Assistance (SA) cases, from the point of the customer's request for material/services through the establishment of the legal terms/conditions, initial pricing, payment schedules, and production of the Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) document, and ending with confirmation that initial funding and obligation authority is in the place to proceed with case execution.
DSAMS provides additional functionality for foreign military sales (FMS) Training and Grant Training, commonly referred to as the training module. This provides the capability to fully execute cases involving foreign military training (as opposed to weapon systems or spare parts) for the military departments (MILDEP). Originally created nearly three (3) decades ago, it remains the information technology (IT) backbone of foreign military sales.
The President's executive order EO 14268 'Reforming Foreign Defense Sales to Improve Speed and Accountability' calls on Department of War (DoW) to modernize the entire case life cycle process to reduce time to delivery of materials and to increase transparency within the process; such that stakeholders in Security Cooperation enterprise can have improved delivery experience.
Additionally, the Case Launcher product prototype is currently under development. This prototype includes capabilities such as initializing a case, creating, editing, and tasking case lines, reviewing and entering case data and a Single Tracking System prototype for tracking foreign military sales efforts throughout the Case Lifecyle per EO 14268. A modernized Case Development Life Cycle is critical to achieving the goals outlined in the executive order.
The Information Management & Technology (IM&T) case development modernization (CDM) requires the development of a modernized Case Lifecycle system to address critical challenges and evolving mission needs within the Security Cooperation enterprise. The modernization aims to streamline the FMS case development process, enhance transparency, reduce delivery timelines, and ensure compliance with cybersecurity, accessibility, and Zero Trust standards.
As of now, no single Task Management or Document Repository system exists. The CDM initiative includes task management and document repository capability requirements that support the overall Case Lifecycle to streamline task management and have the capability for case life cycle document repository. It should integrate seamlessly with the CDM system for efficient data exchange and reporting.
By leveraging modem technologies, architectures, and methodologies, CDM will deliver a unified, scalable, and efficient platform that supports the entire Case Lifecycle while ensuring interoperability with other systems across the DoW.
Key objectives to achieve include:
1.) Replace legacy functions and features by modernizing applications to reduce technical debt and application variance resulting in improved scalability, data transparency and efficiency.
2.) Develop a modern system to adhere with cybersecurity, accessibility and data protection compliance requirements like Zero Trust, 508, FISCAM Audit and other applicable STIGs.
3.) Implement applicable case lifecycle improvements identified as part of CPIB recommendations and other executive orders.
