Many government and private organizations struggle with budget planning efforts, namely timely and accurate reporting of program and financial management data. Tracking workflow metrics like incoming funding, contract modifications and real-time status updates allows organizations to better understand their technology adoption status and identify challenges in product scaling.
Currently, requests for this type of information require manual, time-intensive efforts, where key data points may be missing leading to inaccurate or flawed data. Using data in such a way requires a business intelligence capability platform that can capture these workflow data points from different organizations and across a variety of accounting and tracking systems.
The Department of Defense (DoD) seeks a solution that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to coordinate budget planning efforts; map incoming funding, contract modifications and real-time execution status updates; and provide a faster and more intelligent way of program management and leadership visibility. The use of LLMs such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG) may also allow for summarization of the overall investments and dashboards that incorporate various system data feeds for full project tracking.
Some of the obstacles to achieving this goal include:
Desired Solution Attributes:
Solution Briefs will be considered relevant if they address the following characteristics:
A fully functional prototype should produce the following outputs:
Preference will be given to proposals that demonstrate product maturity and deployment validation (i.e., products that readily fit or can be adapted for the solicited purpose with the least amount of non-recurrent-engineering effort). Additionally, partial solutions that uniquely address specific requirements are welcome and will be considered for this solicitation. Vendors offering modular approaches are encouraged to submit their proposals.
Solution providers should expect to participate in a shared development space with other vendors and government developers to rapidly deploy, monitor and iterate upon solutions. Solution providers may be asked to collaborate and/or participate in cross functional efforts and/or in a teaming arrangement. The government intends to identify one or more integrators as a solution provider but vendors are also welcome to team with integrators prior to submission.
Awarding Instrument
DIU
Follow-on Production
When you submit to a DIU solicitation, we'll ask you to include a solution brief. Here's some guidance about what that entails.
Companies are advised that any Prototype Other Transaction (OT) agreement awarded in response to this solicitation may result in the direct award of a follow-on production contract or agreement without the use of further competitive procedures. Follow-on production activities will result from successful prototype completion.
The follow-on production contract or agreement will be available for use by one or more organizations within the Department of Defense. As a result, the magnitude of the follow-on production contract or agreement could be significantly larger than that of the Prototype OT agreement. All Prototype OT agreements will include the following statement relative to the potential for follow-on production: “In accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 4022(f), and upon a determination that the prototype project for this transaction has successfully been completed, this competitively awarded Prototype OT agreement may result in the award of a follow-on production contract or transaction without the use of competitive procedures.”

*Required
If we think there’s a good match between your solution and our DoD partners, we’ll invite you to provide us with a full proposal — this is the beginning of negotiating all the terms and conditions of a proposed prototype contract.
After a successful prototype, the relationship can continue and even grow, as your company and any interested DoD entity can easily enter into follow-on contracts.
We solicit commercial solutions that address current needs of our DoD partners.
You send us a short brief about your solution.
We’ll get back to you within 30 days if we’re interested in learning more through a pitch. If we're not interested, we'll strive to let you know ASAP.
