DevCorps’ Mission
Established in 2017, DevCorps designs, develops, operates and improves software for NGA and other government agencies. It is meant to reduce the government’s reliance on contractors to build and support mission-critical software.
The team uses the Agile principles to deliver user-focused software that meet mission needs.
NGA is seeking an industry partner to provide technical expertise to DevCorps and support the division’s activities. Work will include the design, development and modernization of applications and services and operations and sustainment of existing or newly deployed capabilities.
SABER III Contract Details
The government intends to use the Software Aqua Badge Engineering Resources III, or SABER III, blanket purchase agreement for the requirement. The BPA is a follow-up to the SABER II contract vehicle. It has a five-year ordering period.
The selected contractor will support the DevCorps at various NGA facilities, including in St. Louis, Missouri, and Springfield, Virginia.
Interested parties are requested to submit their capability statements to NGA on or before March 11.
