Low-code/no-code application development platform solution

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management is seeking a low-code/no-code application development platform solution for its global operations. The Request for Information (RFI) targets commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) platforms that can support application development across 300 sites and 275 global missions. Mandatory requirements include FedRAMP Moderate and DOD Impact Level 5 certification, cloud-based architecture, robust security features, and comprehensive integration capabilities. Vendors must demonstrate ability to develop applications with minimal programming, support cross-cloud/on-premises environments, provide collaborative tools, and enable rapid prototyping. Responses are due by May 30, 2025 at 12:00pm EST, to be submitted to John Warner at WarnerJ1@state.gov, with the government emphasizing this is market research only and no guarantee of contract award.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for small businesses, though the NAICS code 541519 for Computer Related Services has a small business size standard of $34.0M in gross receipts. The RFI seeks detailed vendor information across three sections: company details, functional requirements assessment, and past federal implementation experience. While no specific award value is mentioned, the scope suggests a potentially significant contract supporting the State Department's comprehensive technology infrastructure. The platform must be capable of serving a complex, globally distributed organization with diverse technological needs. The anticipated procurement will focus on a platform that can rapidly develop and deploy applications across multiple environments with minimal custom coding.
