The Special Notice, published by the Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA), pertains to the termination of the DACODAI Research and Analysis Support Services contract. The notice publicly discloses details about a cancelled award related to a federal contract opportunity. The termination affects a contract that was designed to provide comprehensive support services for the Defense Advisory Committee for Diversity and Inclusion (DACODAI). The notice was posted on April 3, 2025, with a response deadline of April 18, 2025. It represents a standard administrative process for documenting the closure of a specific federal contract.

The terminated contract's original scope involved providing critical research and support services for DACODAI, including conducting 2-5 research topics annually, performing military site visits, and supporting the committee's mission of developing recommendations for the Secretary of Defense and Congress.
