DESCRIPTION
The issuing organization is seeking information from vendors capable of providing a third-party application developer solution. The solution would support the ingestion of new and existing third-party application developer capabilities, coordination with ground segment contractors, and management of the software ecosystem framework lifecycle.
Required capabilities include designing, provisioning, and managing resilient hybrid cloud and edge-computing platforms across Commercial Cloud Enterprise resources and on-premises infrastructure. The solution should also support modern software architectures, including loosely coupled microservices and Modular Open System Architecture principles.
The organization is additionally seeking scalable common development environments and software factories with automated CI/CD pipelines, as well as enterprise data architectures, data lakehouses, data-centric systems, and automated MLOps pipelines supporting enterprise artificial intelligence and machine learning lifecycle management. Third-party application developer ecosystem capabilities should include multitenant developer portals, self-service tools, software development kits, and governance models that enable rapid onboarding and simulation.
