This OTA sits outside the FAR and represents prototyping work under defense acquisition authority. Scale AI is a San Francisco-based AI and machine learning company competing as a large business contractor with no SBA set-aside designations. The agreement authorizes agentic artificial intelligence, large language model, and advanced prototype development supporting DISA operations.
Place of performance is San Francisco, California. The source does not identify statutory authority, specific technical scope detail, or named subcontractors for this particular OTA. Scale AI's broader portfolio shows concentration in defense-oriented R&D and AI systems development across multiple IDIQs, blanket purchase agreements, and other transaction vehicles with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Army Research Laboratory, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and other DoD components; this award represents one element of that engagement with DISA.
