Defense Digital Services System for Insider Threat Hindrance

This is not a request for quote/proposal. This action is to award a hybrid Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Time and Materials (T&M) with Labor Hours (LH) type contract to TrussWorks, Inc. (TrussWorks) without using full and open competition to procure agile development services and delivery of a minimally viable product (MVP) for the System for Insider Threat Hindrance (SITH), formerly the System for Automated Background Evaluation and Review (SABER). The proposed contract is a follow-on to an expired Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contract no. HQ0034-19-9-0025, which delivered the SABER prototype. Since then, DDS has been working with leadership on the best use for the prototype and recently received a directive memo # OSD003857-21 from the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security to continue the development of SABER to focus on insider threats, so the project name has been changed to System for Insider Threat Hindrance (SITH). The follow-on is required to allow DDS to conform to this directive memo. See the attached the Justification and Approval (J&A).
