SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The U.S. Navy Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) issued a sources sought notice to identify qualified vendors capable of providing an existing commercial Software-as-a-Service platform and analytical support for the Strategic Defense Industrial Base (SDIB) initiative. This effort is intended to strengthen visibility into the defense industrial base that supports strategic and long-range precision weapon systems, including Trident II, Conventional Prompt Strike, and Sea-Launched Cruise Missile-Nuclear programs. The objective is to improve industrial base transparency, supplier risk management, production readiness, and acquisition decision-making through data-driven analysis and workflow automation.
The requested capability must be an operational commercial solution that can be rapidly configured without requiring new software development. The platform is expected to integrate government-furnished information with commercial and proprietary data sources, while supporting configurable dashboards, alerts, workflows, and analytical outputs. Core functions include continuous supply chain monitoring, strategic sourcing and investment analysis, program-specific readiness assessments, acquisition and technical decision support, and enterprise workflow automation using AI and machine learning.
The notice also requires the ability to provision, configure, and maintain the software platform within the SSP Red classified environment, handling information up to required security levels in accordance with SSP cybersecurity and accreditation requirements. Interested firms are asked to provide a capability statement covering company profile details, SaaS platform functionality for ingesting and analyzing disparate datasets, experience mapping the defense industrial base to sub-tier suppliers and part-level data, and embedded AI or automation capabilities.
