About this award
ACC Aberdeen Proving Ground, on behalf of the Defense community, awarded a $2.41 million ceiling firm-fixed-price definitive contract to Trenchant Analytics LLC for an AI Smart Contracting Initiative Pilot on September 29, 2025, with no set-aside used. The prime is a minority woman-owned small business headquartered in Great Falls, Virginia. Performance is at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland 21005, and the ultimate completion date is September 29, 2026.
The contract originates from Army Open Solicitation W9128Z-25-S-A002, a Special Notice posted May 1, 2025, which remains open indefinitely until canceled. It seeks commercial and research-and-development solutions across all Army Mission Areas through rolling submissions in two pathways: Active Capability Gap submissions and Call for Solutions amendments posted on SAM.gov. ACC-APG intends to award contracts or Other Transactions under authorities including 10 U.S.C. 3458 Commercial Solutions Opening, with the default approach using CSO authority and OT instruments, particularly for software acquisition under the Software Acquisition Pathway. Twelve Army Example Areas are covered, including Tactical Communications and Data Engineering and Software. Active Capability Gap submissions follow a three-phase process (Solution Brief, optional Live Pitch, and full Solution Proposal), with unclassified solutions capped at 5 pages or 15 slides. The government anticipates evaluating submissions within 90 days. The most recent version of the solicitation, dated March 26, 2026, expands the Army Example Areas and refines Active Capability Gap procedures.
