Bill Summary

To establish acquisition pathways for software applications and software upgrades and software development and software acquisition training and management programs for the Department of Defense, and for other purposes. This bill modifies processes for the acquisition of software for the Department of Defense (DOD). It requires DOD to establish guidance for the use of pathways for the rapid acquisition of software applications and upgrades that are intended to be fielded within one year: An applications pathway shall provide for the use of rapid development and implementation of applications to be used with commercially available hardware. An upgrades pathway shall provide for the rapid development and insertion of software upgrades for hardware systems solely used by DOD. The bill requires DOD to establish software development and acquisition training and management programs enabling software personnel to earn a certification in software development and acquisition.

AI Summary

This bill, the Creating Opportunities through Defense Engineering Requirements (CODER) Act of 2019, aims to improve the Department of Defense's (DOD) software acquisition processes. It requires the DOD to establish two new acquisition pathways: one for rapid development and implementation of software applications to be used with commercially available hardware, and another for rapid development and insertion of software upgrades for DOD-specific hardware systems. The bill also mandates the DOD to establish software development and acquisition training and management programs to enable DOD personnel to earn certifications in these areas. The goal is to streamline the requirements, budget, and acquisition processes for software, allowing for more agile and responsive software development and deployment to support DOD operations.
