ROUND 1 – Discovery (SUBMISSION COLLECTIONS THROUGH 1 AUGUST 2022 @ 9am Eastern): Interested respondents who could potentially provide solutions that address any of the technical capability areas are encouraged to submit a brief discovery paper for review.

     The submission period for this event may be extended or re-opened at a later date. Please continue to check tradwindai.com for updates. Please follow the instructions at the following link to submit your Discovery Paper: Click Here

Technology Capability Areas (TCA):

• TCA 1 – Data Storage Design and Implementation
• TCA 2 - Input of Testing Results and Artifacts
• TCA 3 - Input of Information Defining the SUT
• TCA 4 - Framework to Enable Analysis and Specific Analytics for Measurements, Efficacy, and Stakeholders’ Perspectives
• TCA 5 - Perspectives

     ROUND 2 – “Tell Me More” Selection (5 AUGUST 2022): TRMC will select those respondents/submissions they feel have the highest potential to satisfy their technology needs. Favorably evaluated submissions will receive an invitation to attend the Phase 3 activity.

     ROUND 3 – “Tell Me More” Activity (ANTICIPATED DATES: 24-25 AUGUST 2022): Selected participants will be invited to one of the following activities: informal one-on-one session with a Government panel, demonstration of a solution, or more detailed written solution delivery proposal or oral pitch. The Government will determine the next best activity during Phase 2 and provide instruction related to the “Tell Me More” Activity with the Phase 3 invitation. Conversations may continue outside of the Phase 3 activity if additional information is needed to better understand solution offerings.

Phase 3 assessments are considered to be competitive and analogous to BAA or CSO submissions in that regard. “Tell Me More” guidance (to include assessment rubric and logistical instruction) will be outlined in the event invitation. If the CDAO assessment evaluation panel favorably evaluates a solution offering during Phase 3, negotiations for Phase 4 may immediately begin.

     ROUND 4 – Award: The Government may make multiple awards based on the Phase 3 results. Successfully negotiated awards are intended to be Other Transaction Agreements under 10 U.S. Code, Section 4022 (formerly 2371). An award under 10 U. S. Code, Section 4022 may result in the further award of a follow-on production agreement without additional competition based on successful prototype completion. The Government reserves the right to award one, some, or no projects based on the assessment activities conducted.
