P1SM Announcement - Final 20240923.pdf

I. Welcome to the Platform One Solutions Marketplace

Platform One, with support from its marketplace manager, The Applied Research Institute (ARI), is initiating a long-term, open call for solutions to support the DoD in quickly delivering high-quality, secure software with accelerated delivery times. The solutions will support or enable the delivery of resilient software capability at the speed of relevance, ensuring the DoD remains agile and responsive to emerging threats and opportunities. Specifically, Platform One seeks to obtain innovative solutions or potential capabilities that fulfill requirements, close capability gaps, or provide potential technological advancements. Innovative solutions encompass technologies, processes, or methods (including research and development) that are newly developed or applied in a novel way as of the submission date. This initiative, entitled the “Platform One Solutions Marketplace” (P1SM) will solicit, collect, assess, and curate hardware, software, or service solutions and make those solutions available through rapid acquisition pathways. This approach aims to foster innovation and expedite the integration of cutting-edge technologies into the DoD's operational framework, enhancing its ability to deliver software at the speed of relevance.

II. What is the Platform One Solutions Marketplace?

The Platform One Solutions Marketplace is a digital environment of post-competition video pitches. The post-competition video solutions housed within the marketplace have been assessed through competitive procedures that conform to the competition requirements of 10 USC 4021, 10 USC 4022, 10 USC 3458, FAR/DFARS Part 35, and DFARS Subpart 212.70, and thus are readily available to be viewed, selected, negotiated, and awarded by DoD activities. The Marketplace provides a venue for Government organizations to search, view, review, compare, contrast, contact, negotiate, and procure hardware, software, or service solutions through rapid acquisition pathways. For industry, academia, and individual developers, the Marketplace is a valuable tool to promote hardware or software products, or service solutions to the DoD in an environment with a rapid acquisition contract pathway.

III. What are the Goals of the Platform One Solutions Marketplace?

The goals of the Platform One Solutions Marketplace are to create a centralized location where the DoD can evaluate modern hardware, software, and service solutions that support or enable secure, continuous software delivery. Additionally, it provides a platform for industry, academia, and individual developers to showcase their research, technologies, and related products and services to the Government. Further, the structure of the publication and assessment functions of the Solutions Marketplace allow for streamlined procurement of available solutions, addressing a major barrier to small business and nontraditional defense contractors. Finally, by leveraging the statutory and regulatory authorities available, the Solutions

Marketplace can provide a technology transition pathway from idea to research, research to prototype, prototype to test and evaluation, through production, fielding and sustainment of a given technology solution.

IV. Who can Participate in the Platform One Solutions Marketplace?

All US-based companies, traditional and nontraditional, large business and small business, universities, non-profit companies, and individuals are welcome to participate. In addition, foreign universities, research institutions, and entities are eligible to submit video pitches for their related technology solutions provided that such submissions are compliant with international law, including export laws for both the country of origin of the technology provider and the United States. Subsequent contracts with foreign universities, research institutions, and entities may also be applicable to additional regulations, such as the Federal

Acquisition Regulation.

V. Why Participate in the Platform One Solutions Marketplace?

Platform One, as the primary sponsor of this initiative, seeks to establish the Platform One Solutions

Marketplace as its premier, low-barrier entry point for industry, academia, and individuals to identify technology solutions, ongoing research efforts, and proposed future development activities that are relevant to the DoD. Participating entities will have their proposed solutions assessed by a peer panel of DoD and supporting industry and academic Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and will receive feedback on the technical merit of their solution. Further, by submitting against this open call for solutions, all submitted solutions that are deemed “awardable” by the assessing DoD Assessment Authority and SME personnel will be considered “post-competitive” under 10 USC 4021, 10 USC 4022, 10 USC 3458, FAR/DFARS Part

35, and DFARS Subpart 212.70, and will be eligible for award of further research, prototyping, procurement for experimental purposes, and even production. Just some of the benefits of participation in the Solutions

Marketplace include:

● Exposure and marketing of technology and service solution(s) to relevant DoD customer organizations.

● Access to the P1SM’s streamlined submission process requesting only the required organizational and technical information.

● Fast track assessment timelines for solution submissions with notifications made within 30 calendar days from the end of each collection period (subject to submission volume).

● Contract pathways for award of research, development, prototyping, test and evaluation, procurement for experimental purposes, and even production.

● Fully negotiable award terms including payment, intellectual property and data rights license terms, schedule, milestones, and pricing.

● Potential for multiple awards with a single customer, or across multiple customers with no funding ceilings or limits to duration of effort, based on a single video solution submission.

VI. Strategic Focus Areas

As identified by Platform One, and based on its current set of customer interests, the Government is seeking video solution pitches which are relevant to one or more of the following strategic focus areas which are derived from the DoD Software Modernization Strategy,1 which drives the vision of delivering resilient software capability at the speed of relevance.

iv. Submissions timely received for a given month (the monthly collection period) will be assessed in the following month with results available within 30 days of the end of the relevant collection period (e.g., for collection period ending October

31st 12:00 (Noon) EST, assessment results will be distributed no later than

November 30th (subject to flexibility for instances of high volume)).

b. Submission Eligibility. Solution videos and form information must be unclassified, and not include any proprietary information, export-controlled information, or controlled unclassified information (CUI). Solution videos must not contain any restrictive markings other than a valid copyright notice. Each video submission shall provide a single technology or service solution. Each solution video submission must be accompanied by a fully completed submission form (automated form populated during the video submission process). Elements of the required submission form include:

i. Submitting Entity Name (or Individual Name). Use your full legal company/organization/individual name. It should match your SAM.gov profile if you have an existing SAM.gov profile at time of video submission.

ii. Website (if available). Identify your current website address if applicable (Website is not a required field).

iii. Unique Entity ID (UEI) (if available). The Unique Entity ID (UEI) is a 12-character alphanumeric ID assigned to an entity by SAM.gov. If you do not have a SAM profile, please enter “NA” or “Not Applicable” in the field.

iv. Business Size. Identify either a large or small business. Business size is defined by the SBA in alignment with 13 CFR Part 121 Small Business Size Regulations. This classification is most commonly based upon average annual receipts or the average number of employees. The definition of “small” varies by industry, which is classified by the applicable North American Industry Classification (NAIC) code for the solution you are proposing.

v. Traditional/Non-Traditional status. Definition: As defined in 10 USC 3014, "nontraditional defense contractor", with respect to a procurement or with respect to a transaction authorized under section 4021(a) or 4022 of this title, means an entity that is not currently performing and has not performed, for at least the one-year period preceding the solicitation of sources by the Department of Defense for the procurement or transaction, any contract or subcontract for the Department of

Defense that is subject to full coverage under the cost accounting standards prescribed pursuant to section 1502 of title 41 and the regulations implementing such section.

vi. Socioeconomic Designation(s). Select all applicable socioeconomic designations your entity currently holds. This designation must match your SAM.gov account.

vii. Address. Location of principal place of business (Street Address, City, State, ZIP)

viii. Strategic Focus Area. The purpose of the strategic focus areas is to collect technology solutions which are relevant to Platform One and its customer organizations. Often a given solution may fit within multiple focus areas. The focus area selected for your solution has no impact on the assessment of your solution. The focus areas are used for categorization and search within the

Marketplace for those video solution submissions assessed as “awardable”. If you are in doubt as to the proper fit for your technology or believe it spans multiple focus areas, simply select the “Blue Sky (other)” category.

ix. Technology Readiness Level (TRL). Select the current Technology Readiness

Level of your solution. A description of the Technology Readiness Definitions is available at Appendix A of this document, as well as in a tooltip during the submission workflow process. Assure that you select the appropriate level, not a range for your submission. The purpose of including the Technology Readiness

Level (TRL) as part of the submission requirements is to help customer organizations understand what types of efforts and funding your company is seeking for future engagements (Research, Development, Prototyping, Test and

Evaluation, Production, or Sustainment). The TRL is not used to determine whether solutions are assessed as awardable/not awardable. It is important to select the relevant TRL for your solution to align with the proper potential customer organizations and funding.

x. Security & Authorization Status. Select the appropriate response for each field to indicate your facility clearance status, foreign investment, authority to operate status, impact level, and FEDRAMP status. These responses are not part of the assessment process. These responses are intended to inform future prospective customers of your firm’s security and cybersecurity status in the event that your solution is assessed as awardable and placed into the Marketplace.

xi. Related Keywords. Include at least five relevant keywords to your solution that will help the government find it faster. Please separate your keywords with a comma.

xii. Video submission Point of Contact (POC), email address, and phone. This is the person that will receive the assessment results and any inquiries about the submission. At any point after submitting, you may want to add additional members and POCs to your organization. Once the submission form is completed, and you are redirected to your dashboard, you may follow these steps to include another POC: Click the "Organization" link in the navigation; Under "View and manage organization members" there will be a tab for "Invitations" that you should click; From there, click on the "Invite" button and add any number of email addresses to add additional POC's to your organization.

xiii. Submission Title (less than 128 characters).

xiv. Abstract Description (1,500 Characters). Use this section to describe your video solution to appear in the Platform One Solutions Marketplace for the government user to easily understand your solution before watching the video. The purpose of this narrative is to support potential future customers in understanding information about your firm. The narrative is not part of the assessment information. Use this space to identify information (where applicable to your solution) that a prospective customer may want to know (e.g., approved accounting system, GSA Schedules, existing contracts, etc.).

c. Video Submission Format Requirements. Solution video submission shall conform with the following format requirements or will be deemed ineligible and returned for revision.

i. Videos must be no longer than five (5) minutes (5:00) in length.

ii. Minimum Video production requirements:

1. Resolution: HD 1920x1080.

2. Encoded for streaming as a .mp4 file under 5gb.

3. Color Space: Rec709 or sRGB.

iii. Videos must contain no restrictive markings limiting their use or distribution other than a valid copyright notice. Video submissions that contain restrictive markings other than those expressly permitted herein will not be assessed. Submitters will be notified that their video submission contains unauthorized restrictive markings and must be revised and resubmitted.

d. Video Submission Content Requirements. There are five required elements that each video must address. The Five elements are: (1) Identification of the Problem(s) Addressed; (2)

Description of the technology or service solution and its application to the problem(s) identified; (3) Potential impact of the solution if adopted by DoD; (4) Differentiation from other technology and service solutions which address the same or similar problem(s); and

(5) Pricing Model. Tips for addressing the five required video submission elements are as follows:

i. Identification of the problem(s) addressed. Begin your video pitch with a description of the problem you solve for your customers (or prospective customers). Explain the problem thoroughly but leave time to address all five video submission elements. Is this a common problem across the Government? Is it a universal problem across Government and commercial markets? Assure that your problem falls within at least one of the Strategic Focus Areas described in Section

VI above.

ii. Description of the technology or service solution and its application to the problem(s) identified. Fully describe your solution but balance your total video time across all five video submission elements. Identify how your solution addresses the problem you’ve defined. If your solution is at a lower Technology

Readiness Level (TRLs 1-5) and needs further development or test, explain your plan to mature the solution to better address the problem. If your solution is at a higher Technology Readiness Level (TRLs 6-9), provide a demonstration within your video of the product or case study of your service. Forgot what TRLs are?

Check Appendix A.

iii. Potential impact of the solution if adopted by DoD. Explain how adoption of your solution would impact the DoD. If you are already providing your solution to DoD or other Federal Agencies, state that here and explain the impact it has had. Identify current customers using your solution including Government and commercial entities. Is your solution saving your customers time? Saving money? Reducing

Risk? These are just some examples of potential customer impacts.

iv. Differentiation from other technology and service solutions which address the same or similar problem(s). Identify other solutions in the market that seek to address the problem(s) you identified. What companies, technologies, or service solutions are you in competition with? What alternative solutions are out there?

What makes your solution the best way to address the problem(s)?

v. Pricing Model. Describe how your company intends to monetize your solution both with the Government and with commercial markets (if applicable). Assure that your pricing model aligns with the current maturity (TRL) of your technology or service solution. If you have commercial pricing that is publicly available, include that here. Do you offer range pricing or quantity discounts? Are you seeking funding for development? NOTE: THIS SECTION IS NOT

REQUESTING NON-PUBLIC PRICING. DO NOT SUBMIT RATES OR

OTHER PROPRIETARY PRICING INFORMATION.

e. Where to Submit the video solution. All solutions must be submitted through p1-marketplace.com. No hard copy or physical submissions (CD/DVD/Blue Ray) will be accepted. To submit your solution, navigate to the Platform One Solutions Marketplace page and select “Start My Response” on the lower left-hand side.

VIII. The Platform One Solutions Marketplace Assessment Process

Solution videos submitted against this open call will be assessed in accordance with the scoring rubric included as Appendix B and rated as either “awardable” or “non awardable” for the given assessment round.

Solutions are assessed by a peer panel of government, industry, and academic subject matter experts, with final decisions made by the Government Selecting Official. By submitting a video solution, you authorize the video to be distributed and used for this purpose. During the assessment period, the Government and/or supporting SMEs may contact submitting entities to clarify information either within the video submission or within the submission form. Non-Government, SME assessors will be used in the assessment of solution videos. Such assessors will be operating at the direction of the Government and through signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). The pool of SME assessors is comprised of experts from industry, academia and non-profit research institutions with programs related to software development, cloud computing, DevSecOps, cyber and platform security, digital, and artificial intelligence/machine learning. In conformance with Statutory and regulatory requirements for the authorities leveraged by the P1SM (10

USC 4021, 10 USC 4022, 10 USC 3458, FAR/DFARS Part 35, and DFARS Subpart 212.70), Government and Non-Government SME Assessors will develop a written assessment of each submission applying the established assessment criteria, weighting, and scoring, which is included at Appendix B of this document.

The recommended scoring, ratings, and comments for each video solution are presented monthly by the

Peer Panel to the designated Government Selecting Official, who is ultimately responsible for determining the awardable/non awardable status of each solution for the rating period.

IX. Organizational Conflicts of Interest

Platform One and the Platform One Solutions Marketplace manager, ARI, have identified and evaluated potential organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs) related to the activity of video solution assessment by non-Government, industry and academic subject matter experts. A recognized potential OCI, "providing evaluation services", requires that contracts for the evaluation of offers for products or services shall not be awarded to a contractor that will evaluate its own offers for products or services, or those of a competitor, without proper safeguards to ensure objectivity to protect the Government’s interests (see Federal

Acquisition Regulation 9.505-3). The Government and Marketplace manager, exercising common sense, good judgment, and sound discretion in both the decision on whether a significant potential conflict exists and, if it does, the development of an appropriate means for resolving it, have determined the following:

a. A significant potential conflict exists as to SME assessors evaluating their own technology solutions. The Government will avoid this potential OCI by excluding any requirement for assessors to evaluate their own technology solutions, or the solutions of another submitter in which the assessor holds any financial interest from their contract requirements. Further, the Government will mitigate any potential OCI by prohibiting assessors to evaluate their own technology solutions, or the solutions of another submitter in which the assessor holds any financial interest and requiring assessors to delivering a statement certifying that they recognize this prohibition, including an affirmative duty to identify any such financial interests. All assessors will be required to complete Government ethics training, covering this duty to identify financial interests, prior to assessing any solution submissions and will operate under nondisclosure agreements to protect any information received through the assessment activity.

b. A potential conflict exists as to SME assessors evaluating the technology solutions of a competitor. This OCI is a lesser risk due to the characteristics of the evaluation effort.

Under the Solutions Marketplace assessment methodology, submissions must be non-proprietary. The non-proprietary submissions are assessed against a published rubric for

Technical Merit to determine whether they are viable solutions and thus rated "awardable" for future requirements. The assessments are performed by a minimum three-member peer panel, and the peer panel is comprised of a Government, Industry, and Academic representative, with the Government Selecting Official responsible for all final decisions.

Finally, the assessments are not evaluated against a specific requirement, but on their viability to support future needs. The characteristics of the assessment process, thus, partially mitigate the potential OCI. To fully mitigate this potential OCI, the Government will monitor the consistency in scoring of all assessors to identify potential biases or inconsistent scoring. All assessors will be required to complete Government ethics training, covering this duty to identify competitors, prior to assessing any solution submissions and will operate under nondisclosure agreements to protect any information received through the assessment activity.

X. Important Information for Participants and Prospective Participants

a. All costs of preparing and submitting solution videos and submission forms are the responsibility of the submitting entity and not eligible for funding or reimbursement by the

Government.

b. Assessment as “awardable” and placement into the Platform One Solutions Marketplace does not guarantee any current or future award.

c. Successfully assessed, “awardable” videos are placed into the Marketplace for a period of

24-months, after which the solution expires and is removed from the Marketplace.

d. P1SM will publish a list of companies with solutions available on the Marketplace on the

P1SM public website and through Platform One digital media. The list will identify company/individual name; name of solution; and associated strategic focus area. Entities that do not wish to be identified in this manner must submit a written notice to support@p1-marketplace.com.

e. Solution providers may submit one or multiple video submissions while this announcement remains open.

f. Scoring and Assessor comments will be provided for both awardable and non-awardable submissions at the end of each assessment round. All submitting entities can request a feedback session to review the scoring and comments related to their solution by reserving time at this link: Please sign up for your 1 on 1 meeting here:

https://outlook.office365.us/book/PlatformOneOfficeHours@theari.us/

g. Feedback Sessions are conducted by the Marketplace Manager, ARI, and are intended to assist solution providers in addressing weaknesses identified in the assessor scoring and comments, for the purpose of revising any non-awardable solution, and resubmitting to a subsequent collection period. Any dispute regarding scoring or final rating may be addressed to the Government Selecting Official. Platform One does not provide names, contact information, or any other personal information of the SME assessors themselves.
