RFI for Collaborative Autonomy Software Framework Development Services

The issuing agency is seeking collaborative autonomy software framework development services to enable collaborative, autonomous capabilities across a variety of crewed and uncrewed systems. The agency requires an open-architecture software stack to solve the challenge of developing, coding, and maintaining a complex, collaborative swarming autonomy baseline. The project covers the development and management of a government-owned software architecture while actively integrating algorithms. The scope of work requires providing and maintaining a mature, secure DevSecOps environment for all software development, testing, and delivery, including a robust continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline. The agency is requesting the development and regular release of software development kits and application programming interfaces to allow external developers to write modular capabilities for the core framework. The selected partner must also perform multi-domain software and hardware integration across air, land, and maritime domains, alongside multi-uncrewed aerial vehicle autonomous flight testing for demonstration and fielding. Eligible organizations must be based onshore within the United States. The agency specifies that performance of the work will occur offsite. The contract period will span five years, and the agency is looking for proposals to establish the budget. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or online.
