Background

  • TCODE is the convergence of development, security, and operations. It is an organizational mechanism that aims to adopt security from the beginning of the software development life cycle (SDLC) to the end. For most software applications in the past, security was added later in the life cycle, after development was completed. The advancements in cloud platforms, microservices, and containers enable the ability for security to keep up with rapid releases in an Agile development environment. DevSecOps integrates security with DevOps. Security becomes an integral, automated part of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) pipelines, and a responsibility shared by all stakeholders (platform team, Government auditors, and tenant application developers).
  • TCODE has three main goals:
    • Support development teams—assist developers in applying secure coding practices. Automated tools can notify stakeholders about security issues during all stages of development, to enable quick fixes and promote developer security education.
    • Support security teams—enable easy monitoring and control over development projects without having to manually review and approve each release.
    • Continuous security testing—detect security vulnerabilities as soon as they occur, minimize risk, and allow rapid remediation without slowing down the development pipeline.

Requirements

  • The Contractor shall maintain and modify (where applicable) existing software factory services for USTRANSCOM software developers, establish and maintain target platforms for software delivery across Impact Levels 2, 4, 5 and 6 (SIPRNET) as applicable to the tenant application requirements, create automated software deployment processes, and support PEO program migrations to TCODE, so legacy program software developers can leverage TCODE’s modernized ecosystem services. The Contractor shall coordinate all TCODE activities with the Government, Federally Funded Research & Development Centers (FFRDCs), and other DoD contractors to achieve these outcomes and realize the goals of the DSOP initiative for USTRANSCOM.
  • The Contractor shall plan for and provide specialized systems, software engineering, sustainment, and production support services for USTRANSCOM, including current and emerging software capabilities. The Contractor shall provide ongoing Operations & Maintenance support to TCODE software factory services, and as requested by TCODE tenants in accordance with (IAW) the task areas in this Performance Work Statement.
