Information Processing Techniques Service

The government authority located in Washington, DC, is seeking information processing techniques services to create technological surprise through groundbreaking information science and technology development. The agency aims to deliver fundamentally new information capabilities for national security by solving critical challenges in artificial intelligence, system security, and complex network resilience. The scope of work covers three primary areas of technological innovation. First, the project requires the development of energy-efficient and assured artificial intelligence systems that provide trustworthy, understandable, and asymmetric capabilities to warfighters at the edge of the network. Second, the agency requires the creation of a new generation of inherently secure and private systems, along with adaptable security and privacy tools that outperform current moving-target and reactive solutions. Finally, the work involves developing machine-derived abstractions and models to expose the governing principles of highly complex, interconnected systems like supply chains and power grids. These models must identify hidden systemic risks and emergent properties to enable precise interventions and proactively assure mission-critical functions. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based exclusively in the United States. The agency requires the selected provider to perform all work offsite. The authority is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed specific evaluation criteria or key dates in the initial solicitation.
