Request for Information - Flexible Agile Scalable Teams (FAST)

In order to successfully execute its mission, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) must have the capability to customize mission support Information Technology (IT) systems and develop custom software solutions when no solution is commercially available or from Government sources. Therefore, TSA intends to leverage more commercial, out-of-the-box (OOTB)/Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS), Software-as-a-Service/Platform-as-a-Service (SaaS/PaaS) solutions that enable mission capabilities at a lower cost. TSA customers require a full range of system and application design, agile software development, and application production support services. To achieve integration and customization of mission support systems and applications, TSA has contracted for agile applications development services via the FAST task orders. The objective of the TSA FAST task orders was to establish an IT contract vehicle that supports Agile design, development, and application production requirements for a suite of applications that are aligned across the entire agency. TSA is conducting market research to determine the best suited procurement strategy for the re-compete of some FAST Task Orders. TSA is specifically interested in identifying a method to obtain Agile applications development services on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The purpose of Amendment 1 is to attach the slides and Questions and Answers from the FAST Industry Day held on February 22, 2022. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The purpose of Amendment 2 is to provide industry with an update regarding this procurement.
