About this opportunity
The Department of the Army has issued a Special Notice for an Industry Event focused on Next-generation Commercial Operations in Defended Enclaves (NCODE), a strategic initiative aimed at improving cybersecurity for small businesses within the Defense Industrial Base. Scheduled for December 10, 2024, this event is being led by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Data, Engineering, Software), DASA(DES), as part of transitioning NCODE from a proof of concept to a two-year agile Pilot. The notice explicitly states that this is an informational event and not a formal solicitation, with no commitment to procurement. The event will be conducted virtually and in-person, allowing interested participants to register through a provided Zoom link. Attendance is voluntary and will not be reimbursed by the government.
The primary objective of the NCODE Industry Event is to establish an ongoing dialogue between potential Small Business Users and Service/Solution Providers to develop a secure, cloud-based office productivity environment that helps small businesses implement NIST SP 800-171 security controls. The pilot aims to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the NCODE concept, identify additional small business needs, and refine potential Army requirements for a potential enduring program. Eligible participants include small businesses, service providers, and solution providers interested in cybersecurity and defense industrial base improvements. The event will focus on collaborative approaches to optimize competition within contracting methods and integrate services/solutions into the evolving NCODE environment. By maintaining continuous and transparent communication, the Army seeks to learn-by-doing and progressively enhance the cybersecurity capabilities of small businesses in the defense sector.

THIS IS AN INDUSTRY EVENT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI). THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THIS REQUEST IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR ANY ACTUAL PROCUREMENT OF MATERIALS, MACHINERY, OR SERVICES.
NCODE INDUSTRY EVENT PURPOSE.
The NCODE Industry Event will provide information on participation both to potential Small Business Users and potential Service/Solution Providers. This event will initiate enduring dialogue between all parties to ensure effective competition across the Pilot. Overall, the intent of the agile Pilot is to learn-by-doing, so maintaining continuous and transparent communication is key.
BACKGROUND.
Next-generation Commercial Operations in Defended Enclaves (NCODE) is an Army initiative to help small businesses (SB)s improve Defense Industrial Base (DIB) cybersecurity. NCODE will provide a secure and defended, cloud-based office productivity environment (where future iterations will provide devops and advanced engineering tools) for small businesses. This environment will help SBs implement NIST SP 800-171 security controls as part of emerging contractual requirements.
The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Data, Engineering, Software), DASA(DES), is leading the transition of NCODE from an initial proof or concept to a two-year, agile Pilot. The purpose of the agile Pilot is to refine the NCODE concept, through competitive partnerships with both Small Business Users and potential Service/Solution Providers to:
- Demonstrate and assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and cybersecurity of the concept at increasing scale
- Identify and refine additional SB needs, and integrate services/solutions to address them into the environment at various pilot increments
- Identify and understand relevant approaches to providing services/solutions in this space
- Collaborate with service/solution providers to optimize competition within contracting approaches
- Refine potential Army requirements to transition NCODE to a potential enduring program
