The Department of Defense (DoD), through the Department of the Army and its contracting entity ACC RI, has issued a Special Notice for the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, an ongoing open call for innovative solutions in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), digital technologies, and data-centric hardware, software, and services. This initiative is managed by the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) in partnership with the Applied Research Institute (ARI), serving as the marketplace manager.
The primary objective of the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is to advance the Department of War’s (DoW) capabilities by soliciting, collecting, assessing, and curating cutting-edge AI/ML, digital, and data solutions. The scope of this procurement encompasses the entire lifecycle of technology development and deployment, including research, development, experimentation, prototyping, testing, procurement, and sustainment. The intent is to identify and acquire solutions that address current requirements, close existing capability gaps, or introduce significant technological advancements to support DoW missions.
This notice marks the release of Revision #10.0 to solicitation W519TC-23-S-CTSM, effective May 1, 2026. All submissions from this date forward must comply with the updated requirements and guidance outlined in Revision #10.0, as previous revision #9.3 has been removed. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to review the full Open Call document attached to the announcement, as several areas have been updated and may impact submission eligibility and evaluation criteria.
Key requirements for participation include the submission of solutions that are relevant to AI/ML, digital, and data domains, with a focus on supporting DoW’s operational and strategic objectives. The marketplace is designed to facilitate rapid acquisition pathways, enabling the DoW to quickly access and implement promising technologies. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate how their offerings fulfill specific requirements, address identified gaps, or provide novel capabilities that enhance DoW’s digital and data-driven operations.
The procurement is classified as a Special Notice and represents a long-term, open solicitation rather than a traditional, single-award contract. This structure allows for ongoing submissions and continuous evaluation of new technologies as they emerge. There are no explicit set-aside requirements or special considerations detailed in the notice; however, all interested vendors must adhere to the guidelines and submission procedures outlined in the attached Open Call document.
The contracting activity is managed by ACC RI, a sub-command within the Department of the Army, under the broader Department of Defense umbrella. The primary points of contact for this opportunity are Sarah Weigandt ([email protected]) and Molly Lewis ([email protected]). Additionally, all questions regarding the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace should be directed to [email protected].
The notice was posted on May 15, 2026, and remains active, with a response deadline of May 31, 2027. Interested contractors are encouraged to review the opportunity in detail via the official SAM.gov listing (Opportunity ID: 3b22374d646240429d4dc754a23c20d0) and to consult the attached documentation for comprehensive submission instructions and evaluation criteria.
This opportunity is particularly well-suited for organizations with expertise in AI/ML, digital transformation, and data solutions seeking to contribute to the advancement of defense capabilities through innovative technology offerings. The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace provides a unique platform for ongoing engagement with the DoW and the potential for rapid transition of solutions into operational use.
