The Department of Defense Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office is looking into potential vendors that can meet the requirements of a contract vehicle it is currently developing in support of Advana, an enterprise data, analytics and AI platform being used across the DOD.
According to a sources sought notice posted Wednesday on SAM.gov, the Advancing Analytics Multiple Award Contract will be indefinite-delivery / indefinite-quantity in nature and feature delivery and task orders to address its requirements.
For the effort, the CDAO is seeking vendors that can help “build a competitive, adaptive, and responsive ecosystem of digital products and services providers” around Advana, which the office manages and whose adoption the office aims to expand.
Of particular interest are vendors that can deliver products or services under several focus areas, including AI and machine learning, cybersecurity, automation, DevSecOps, product management, systems engineering and enterprise architecture.
Interested parties have until Oct. 4 to respond.
An industry day will be held on Sept. 18 regarding the Advana program, according to Intelligence Community News.
