What is an Assessment Event (AE)?
ARCYBER submits specific problems to solve and CFIC utilizes its ecosystem and market research to attract best-of-breed submissions to solve the problem. ARCYBER subsequently reviews and selects participants with the highest value to present and/or demonstrate their capability in a one-on-one session with Government Stakeholders.
Event Overview:
Phase 1 – 6 February 2023 to 26 February 2023 Submissions Open: Interested respondents who could potentially provide solutions that meet the needs of the Stakeholders are encouraged to submit their solutions per the instructions below NLT 26 February 2023, 11:59 PM ET.
Phase 2 – 28 February 2023 to 8 March 2023 Down-selects: ARCYBER will downselect those respondents/submissions they feel have the highest potential to satisfy their capability needs. Companies with favorably evaluated submissions will receive an invitation to the Assessment Event (Phase 3) o/a 8 March.
Phase 3 – 21 March 2023 to 22 March 2023 Assessment Event (AE): During the AE, invited participants will be allotted a one-on-one session with the Government evaluation panel to pitch, demonstrate, and/or discuss their solutions. The forum will include a Q&A portion and discussions may continue outside of the event to determine who (if anyone) proceeds to Phase 4 follow-on efforts.
Phase 4 – Follow-On: The Government has several acquisition/contract vehicles (i.e., various IDIQ contracts, purchase orders, etc.) to potentially purchase the final solution if operationally viable. The Government may elect to purchase all, some, and/or none of the solutions from Phase 3 for further projects.
