About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Joint Base San Antonio (AFLCMC JBSA) is seeking information on alternative license types, pricing, features, and transition processes for the SD Elements software currently used by Platform One. The SD Elements software is critical to enabling security control compliance, secure app mission effects, and reducing time lost due to security-related events for the Platform One value stream, which provides a secure environment for DoD programmers to develop under their Continuous Authority to Operate (cATO).

This Request for Information (RFI) is a pre-solicitation notice, and no award will be made under this RFI. The government is requesting information on alternative license types and associated costs, any additional features or benefits, the process for transitioning to a new license, and the software's interoperability with other platforms. Responses should be submitted via email to the contracting officer by September 12, 2024. The government reserves the right to cancel this RFI at any time.

Current Software: SD Elements

Requirement:

The SD Elements are required to support current Platform One daily operations. SD Elements gathers information about various projects and automatically generates threat modeling diagrams. By automating the generation of developer centric software threat models, developers are able to efficiently identify threats and know exactly where to implement required countermeasures. This tool allows Platform One to enable security control compliance, secure app mission effects at the speed of relevance , while reducing time lost due to security related events. SD Elements is complexly integrated into the Party Bus Value Stream infrastructure. Party Bus (PB) is a P1 value stream that provides services to customer pipelines and offers a secure environment for programmers to develop under their Continuous Authority to Operate (cATO). Party Bus offers a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) kubernetes based platform and provides a secure, multi-tenant, and multi-classification environment with Staging and Production capabilities for the Department of Defense (DoD). This software will continue to provide the level of product support as is currently provided by the existing PB environment and is critical to maintaining the operational capabilities that Platform One provides to the warfighter.
