The Army’s massive and much-debated “modern software development” contract is headed for a third and final revision due out next month, officials told a standing-room-only audience here at the Association of the US Army conference Wednesday.
Officially called the Multiple Award Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery Contract for Modern Software Development, the proposal is now on its second major revision, incorporating significant changes suggested by contractors. Comment on this draft closes on Oct. 25, so service officials can try to get a final version ready for an industry day tentatively scheduled for Nov. 7. But if the draft isn’t ready, they’ll push the industry day back “because it doesn’t make sense to have it without the last draft out,” said deputy assistant secretary for software Jennifer Swanson.
“Please, please, give us feedback,” she told the contractors packing the room. “We are absolutely reviewing all of it, and I think you’ve seen probably some significant changes between the first draft and the second draft [already].”
