About this file
This Memorandum for Record documents a sole-source acquisition by the Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ) for the Department of Army Criminal Investigation Division (DACID). The procurement is for an H2O.ai Generative AI platform, valued in fiscal year 2025, to provide an enterprise-grade AI solution with automated machine learning, generative AI model development, and deployment capabilities. The contract will run from 25 September 2025 to 25 September 2026, with a base period from 25 September 2025 to 25 December 2025.
The H2O.ai platform will enable DACID to perform advanced law enforcement data analytics, including identifying patterns and connections in investigations, predicting crime trends, analyzing digital evidence, automating report summarization, generating training materials, and developing intelligent chatbots for internal support. Key technical capabilities include open-source large language model customization, Driverless AI for automated feature engineering, on-premises deployment meeting Impact Level 5/6 security requirements, and explainable AI tools. ACC-NJ conducted market research through a Request for Information on the ITES-SW2 contract vehicle, ultimately determining H2O.ai as the only vendor meeting their comprehensive requirements, and confirmed it as the sole authorized reseller through vendor interactions.

June 2024 hybrid cloud environments within DACID’s network. This capability will allow DACID to perform modern law enforcement activities and data analytics that are not possible with the technology currently used by DACID but have become necessary due to changing law enforcement needs. These critical law enforcement capabilities include the ability to identify and link similarities in subjects, victims and offenses between cases, the ability to make predictions in crime and population trends, and the ability to perform advanced analytics on digital evidence including images, videos, social media posts, cell phone data, and complex financial records. Advanced analytical capabilities will allow DACID to replace the legacy reporting tool which no longer meets the needs of analysts to provide accurate and detailed reports to headquarters and Congress as well as providing the Special Agents in Charge and other supervisors the ability to run reports and queries for their individual offices.
The H2O.ai Generative AI platform is a comprehensive, enterprise-grade AI solution that provides automated machine learning (AutoML), generative AI model development, and deployment capabilities. The platform supports the creation of custom LLMs and generative AI applications optimized for secure, on-premises, and hybrid cloud environments. H2O.ai possesses unique technical capabilities that are critical to meeting the Army’s requirements, including:
• Open-Source and Customizable LLMs: H2O.ai’s H2O LLM Studio allows for the development and fine-tuning of open-source large language models, enabling DACID to create mission-specific AI models without reliance on proprietary, vendor-locked ecosystems. This capability ensures compliance with DACID data sovereignty and security policies.
• Driverless AI for AutoML: H2O.ai’s Driverless AI provides automated feature engineering, model selection, and hyperparameter tuning, which significantly reduces the time and expertise required to deploy generative AI models in resource-constrained environments.
• Hybrid and On-Premises Deployment: H2O.ai supports deployment in air-gapped, on-premises environments, meeting the Army’s stringent security requirements for Impact Level 5 (IL5), as defined by the Department of Defense (DoD).
• Explainable AI (XAI): H2O.ai’s platform includes built-in explainability tools, ensuring transparency and auditability of AI model outputs, which is critical for operational decision-making and compliance with DoD AI ethics guidelines.
The H20.ai platform will allow DACID to perform mission critical tasks that are currently not available to the agents and analysts. These use cases include the following capabilities:
• Accelerate Investigations: Quickly identify patterns and connections within LE data that might be missed by manual analysis. Provides faster case resolution and responses to Congressional Inquiries. Allow Data Analysts and Criminal Intelligence Analysts more efficient use of their time.
