The Department of the Army, operating under the auspices of the Department of Defense, has issued a Special Notice titled "AI Effects at the Edge Assessment Event." This initiative is spearheaded by the Cyber Fusion Innovation Center (CFIC) in partnership with the Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) Technology and Innovation Center (ArCTIC). The primary objective of this notice is to engage industry experts in the development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) model that can be embedded within a commercial platform. The envisioned platform is intended to support advanced capabilities for modular mission payload (MMP) development and facilitate seamless integration with connected sensors, thereby enhancing operational effectiveness at the tactical edge.
The scope of this procurement centers on engineering services, as indicated by the NAICS code 541330 (Engineering Services, 2022 version). Contractors are expected to contribute innovative solutions that align with ArCTIC’s methodology for pursuing, selecting, and assessing AI/ML technologies suitable for edge deployment. The desired outcomes include the creation of a robust, modular, and scalable AI/ML model that can be readily integrated with existing sensor networks and mission payloads, supporting the Army’s ongoing modernization and digital transformation efforts.
The place of performance for this opportunity is Augusta, Georgia, United States. The contracting entity is the Department of the Army, a federal agency within the Department of Defense. Interested parties are encouraged to review the attached documentation for further details regarding technical requirements, assessment criteria, and submission guidelines.
Key contacts for this notice are Brandon Sizemore ([email protected]) and Amanda Green ([email protected]), who can provide additional information and clarification as needed. The notice is currently active, with a response deadline set for April 28, 2026, at 03:04. Contractors should note that this is a Special Notice, which may serve as a precursor to future solicitations or collaborative events rather than a direct procurement action.
No specific set-aside requirements or special considerations are mentioned in the notice. Contractors specializing in engineering services, particularly those with expertise in AI/ML integration for defense applications, are encouraged to evaluate this opportunity for alignment with their capabilities. The notice and its attachment can be accessed via the SAM.gov portal using Opportunity ID bfb23bcce5ab4319b612937c3eb93e53.
Overall, this event represents a strategic effort by the Army to leverage industry innovation in advancing AI/ML solutions for edge operations, with a focus on modularity, sensor integration, and mission payload development. Interested contractors should review the provided materials and consider engaging with the CFIC and ArCTIC to contribute to this critical modernization initiative.
