REI Systems awarded three-year ODOS contract by USCIS

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has awarded  REI Systems a three-year contract to support Outcome Based Delivery and DevOps Services II (ODOS) under DHS’ EAGLE II contract vehicle.

In a statement REI Systems said that the company will implement DevSecOps in an open source, cloud-based environment, leveraging infrastructure as code and relying upon Test-Driven Development.

Instead of requiring a written proposal that tells how a vendor will address an agency’s need, the procurement called on REI Systems and competitors to design and develop sample working software code, says the company.
