On March 12, the Defense Intelligence Agency
issued a Commercial Solutions Opening call for a Data Governance Platform.
Proposals are due by 12:00 p.m. Eastern on April 12.
The scope is to purchase a
Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Enterprise Data Governance Platform. The license must support simultaneous
deployment of the DGP to development, test, and production environments on a
single network, with access for 20 named users.
Named users must be able to support the deployment of the DGP without
the need to consult or pay for additional contractor services from the Vendor
or other outside services. Additional licenses must also be available for
purchase, in the defined option years, for deployment to two additional
networks each containing development, test, and production environments.
The Vendor shall provide Data Governance
platform tool capability (Software license and maintenance) that must support
deployment to development, test, and production environments on a single
network. The software capabilities will
include the following:
- Provide configuration of data
governance processes configuration (e.g., workflows, requests for access to
data, access approvals, application of data asset policies, and issue
escalation to facilitate search and discovery of relevant data assets and facilitate
data management).
- Provide audit trail of
changes, consumable by SPLUNK, with functionality to integrate with reporting
services like Tableau.
- Import and export industry
standard and internal data models.
- Enable users to integrate with
third-party software, analytics, and APIs to easily embed governance services
into their applications and business processes.
- Enable users to share and
collaborate on critical business tasks and projects.
- Provide dashboard display of
analytics and data asset monitoring.
- Enable users to easily search,
find, and obtain insights about relevant information assets (data, documents,
models, Application Programming Interfaces [APIs], etc.) to support business
goals.
- Display attributes of
information assets (data quality, related rules and policies, related users,
related assets, etc.).
- Support installation on secure
operation systems (e.g. SELinux, FIPS compliant, and Defense Information
Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG)).
- Support installation on
multiple system platforms (e.g. AWS EC2, On-premise hardware, virtual servers,
Azure, etc.).
- Support authenticated catalog
access for up to 500 users concurrently.
- Provision the data catalog, or
repository, with a minimum of 1TB of storage for policies, metadata, and data
dictionaries.
- Integrate with external
authentication mechanisms (e.g. LDAP, Active Directory, and Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI)).
- Provide role-based access
control for stored data including read-only, read/write, and read/write all
access.
- Provide a backup and recovery
mechanism for data protection and restoration.
- Provide bug fixes, patches and
software version upgrades.
- Provide online training for
use of the platform’s capabilities and administrative functions.
