The Defense Information Systems Agency is planning an estimated $500 million single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for integration and sustainment across its commercial business software platforms. As part of market research, the agency is seeking industry feedback to identify qualified companies capable of serving as the lead systems integrator, according to a sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov Tuesday.
The All-Domain Adaptive Platforms and Technologies Support, or ADAPTS, IDIQ vehicle would cover the DISA Connect customer access portal along with ServiceNow, Salesforce, Workday and Palantir platforms. Task orders would fund sustained operations, continuous software integration, platform-as-a-service engineering and operational visibility. Responses are due Nov. 30.
The agency anticipates a five-year base ordering period running from February 2028 through February 2033, with a single five-year option extending the vehicle through February 2038. Work would be performed at contractor sites and at DISA headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland, where classified access and Secret Internet Protocol Router Network access are available.
The Potomac Officers Club will host the 2027 Defense R&D Summit on Feb. 4 in Virginia, featuring a specialized panel on securing the defense innovation base through supply chain transparency, access to critical materials and research security safeguards. Additional core agenda tracks will address the deployment of trusted artificial intelligence and resilient, assured connectivity across contested domains. Register now!
What Capabilities Is DISA Asking for the ADAPTS IDIQ?
The notice asks respondents to document experience coordinating support across at least three distinct platform ecosystems while managing cross-functional teams and multiple subcontractors.
DISA wants details on securing and governing application development, configuration changes, integrations and data exchanges across the four platforms, including how many ServiceNow Certified Systems Administrator and Salesforce Certified Platform Developer credentials a firm holds. It is also asking about deploying and maintaining applications in Impact Level 6 or higher cloud environments, implementing cross-domain solutions and application programming interface gateways, and designing data-layer capabilities for a multi-tenant environment handling high volumes of exchanges.
What Are the ADAPTS IDIQ Clearance and Compliance Requirements?
Respondents must confirm whether they hold a final top secret facility clearance issued by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency or provide a detailed timeline for securing one.
All proposed personnel must be U.S. citizens holding active security clearances. While a secret clearance is required at the IDIQ base-contract level, individual task orders may necessitate top secret or higher access. Additionally, DISA is asking vendors to detail their recruiting and onboarding pipelines to mitigate transition delays.
Contractors must hold Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2 at the time of the award. The notice requires vendors to state whether they have completed a Joint Surveillance Voluntary Assessment or an evaluation conducted by a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization, submit their current Supplier Performance Risk System score, and provide a remediation milestone plan if they are not yet fully compliant.
Which Company Holds the Current DISA Platform Sustainment Work?
Business Computers Management Consulting Group, a small business, performs portions of the ADAPTS requirement under a task order issued through DISA’s Systems Engineering, Technology and Innovation vehicle, awarded through fair opportunity competition among SETI holders. The period of performance under SETI runs from April 2023 through April 2028.
DISA describes ADAPTS as a new requirement, with the remainder not previously supported. The vehicle falls under the Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Command, Control, Communications and Enterprise and the SD2 Business Systems Portfolio program office. DISA shifted to a portfolio acquisition executive structure over the past two years, giving PAEs decision authority over integrated capability portfolios rather than individual programs, and issued guidance in February aligning the framework with Department of War direction to speed capability delivery.
