The Army has developed a strategy for a new contract vehicle for software that it estimates will be worth more than $1 billion over a 10-year period of performance.
The service’s vision, outlined in a special notice published on Sam.gov seeking industry feedback, was released less than three months after Army leadership announced a new policy to codify changes in how the department develops and manages software.
“The Army’s contracting strategy is to award a new Multiple Award IDIQ contract vehicle in a streamlined manner to the most qualified contractors, resulting [in] a flexible contract vehicle with the ability to rapidly award Task Orders for Modern Software Development requirements across the Army,” according to an appendix to a request for information posted May 23.
Task orders “will feature evaluation criteria designed to demonstrate the Offeror’s technical capabilities, availability of resources to begin work immediately, and enable task order award rapidly. Offerors are advised that Task Order solicitations may also feature qualifying technical demonstrations and/or challenges,” it noted.
