Presolicitation Notice - CDAO - AC2A ***DRAID BOA Holders ONLY***

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) specifically for existing DRAID BOA holders to support the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) Advanced Command and Control Accelerator (AC2A) Directorate's implementation of Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) Data Integration Services. This procurement seeks contractors to develop, test, and deploy resilient enterprise data services and digital technologies that enable joint military operations across multiple domains, with key tasks including developing data integration services architecture, engineering data pipelines, integrating AI/ML technologies, and conducting experimental activities like Global Information Dominance Experiments (GIDE). All contractor personnel must possess SECRET clearance to support activities such as mapping mission threads, identifying data sources, developing AI use cases, creating experimentation processes, and providing training for CJADC2 data integration services. The work focuses on improving data interoperability, accelerating joint force capabilities, and enabling more effective command and control across military domains. The performance locations will span multiple U.S. military commands and international sites. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on June 18, 2025, though specific deadlines for responses have not been detailed in this initial RFI.

This opportunity is designated as "No Set-Aside Used" and is restricted exclusively to holders of the DRAID BOA (Blanket Ordering Agreement), indicating that only pre-qualified contractors under this existing vehicle are eligible to respond. The contract structure includes a one-year base period with two one-year option periods, providing a potential total performance timeline of three years. No specific award values or budget ranges have been disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 518210 for Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services, and PSC code R423 for Support-Professional: Intelligence services. Given the specialized nature of the work involving AI/ML technologies, data integration services, and joint military operations support, the contract is expected to be substantial in scope and value. The restriction to existing DRAID BOA holders suggests this is a follow-on or expansion of existing data-related artificial intelligence defense contracting relationships.
