About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition to procure research services from OpenMined on a sole source basis. The research will focus on the use of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) and drivers to online radicalization in support of the Christchurch Call and the Christchurch Call Initiative on Algorithmic Outcomes (CCIAO). OpenMined has been developing PySyft, a PET software platform, under previous CCIAO funding, and DHS plans to leverage this prior work to further develop and scale PySyft to enable independent researchers to study the impacts of algorithms on online experiences while protecting individual privacy. The estimated total value of this sole source contract is not provided, and this requirement is part of the broader CCIAO initiative and cannot be competed separately.
