AI / ML & SW Development MATOC September 10, 2024 Kim Nugent Contract Planning Division Chief

BLUF

PEO IEW&S has identified a need for rapid contract awards in the areas of Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI / ML) and Software (SW) Development PM IS&A Project Linchpin support PM EW&C SW Development support for Electronic Warfare (EW) re-programming efforts Other SW Development as required Award large MATOC (est. value ~$1B) in late 4QFY25 Award Task Orders / Delivery Orders (TOs / DOs) under $25M targeted awards in 30 days

Base MATOC

MATOC to contain language for support of majority of PEO programs Launch of MATOC would see two (2) vendor pools initiated:

AI / ML & SW Development Vendor pool sizes and set asides currently being evaluated and additional information will be released in the future Use of sub-pools is anticipated to focus on particular areas of interest Ability to create additional vendor pools in other technical areas as required Support a “fail early and pivot” strategy Contain strategies for streamlining awards as well as the transition efforts should a contractor prove to be unsuccessful Use of templates where possible to streamline awards Increased access to program team Ability to rapidly pivot to next awardable but not selected vendor Shorter PoPs to encourage continual competition

On-Ramp Strategy

MATOC would be modeled around the idea of low barrier to entry for industry For MATOC base awards – Government would not require lengthy proposals and maximize use of templates when possible Government looking to leverage potential sample challenge/task for base awards Post award of base contract, the Government is exploring the idea of a continuous on-ramping window or potential quarterly reviews of potential new MATOC holders New awardees will be brought on as both technology changes and requirements evolve within IEW&S
