The State of Maryland is seeking information from vendors regarding data management infrastructure and agile joint software solutions. The agency is interested in innovative commercial approaches and methodologies that address key challenges related to deploying and sustaining joint software capabilities.

The initiative requires automated logging and metrics that capture reliability, availability, and maintainability within operational settings. There is a strong emphasis on gathering direct operator feedback concerning system usability, mission relevance, and feature requirements. The solutions must be adaptable to evolving technical baselines across networks, platforms, and computing environments.

Additionally, the agency is interested in developing a flexible workforce model that supports future acquisition strategies, whether through commercial service contracts or partnerships with other government entities on a fee-for-service basis. Proposed solutions should include the ability to create dashboards and visualizations that offer program leadership actionable insights into system performance, usability, and mission outcomes.
