- THIS IS AN INDUSTRY EVENT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI). THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THIS REQUEST IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR ANY ACTUAL PROCUREMENT OF MATERIALS, MACHINERY, OR SERVICES. NCODE INDUSTRY EVENT PURPOSE. The NCODE Industry Event will provide information on participation both to potential Small Business Users and potential Service/Solution Providers. This event will initiate enduring dialogue between all parties to ensure effective competition across the Pilot. Overall, the intent of the agile Pilot is to learn-by-doing, so maintaining continuous and transparent communication is key. BACKGROUND. Next-generation Commercial Operations in Defended Enclaves (NCODE) is an Army initiative to help small businesses (SB)s improve Defense Industrial Base (DIB) cybersecurity. NCODE will provide a secure and defended, cloud-based office productivity environment (where future iterations will provide devops and advanced engineering tools) for small businesses. This environment will help SBs implement NIST SP 800-171 security controls as part of emerging contractual requirements. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Data, Engineering, Software), DASA(DES), is leading the transition of NCODE from an initial proof or concept to a two-year, agile Pilot. The purpose of the agile Pilot is to refine the NCODE concept, through competitive partnerships with both Small Business Users and potential Service/Solution Providers to: Demonstrate and assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and cybersecurity of the concept at increasing scale Identify and refine additional SB needs, and integrate services/solutions to address them into the environment at various pilot increments Identify and understand relevant approaches to providing services/solutions in this space Collaborate with service/solution providers to optimize competition within contracting approaches Refine potential Army requirements to transition NCODE to a potential enduring program NCODE INDUSTRY EVENT DETAILS.
