Work scope includes cybersecurity initiatives and modernization efforts leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, allowing the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to flexibly procure capabilities supporting both classified and unclassified programs within a unified contracting vehicle.
