Description

As published on SAM.gov.

The Department of War (DoW) Enterprise Software Initiatives (ESI) requires a faster, more
objective, and more reliable method to identify commercially successful emerging technologies,
validate actual DoW demand for those technologies, assess whether they can be used securely
within the DoW environment, and enable commercial vendors to successfully understand and
adapt to DoW acquisition, licensing, pricing, and business practice requirements.


Many commercially successful software publishers, OEMs, and technology providers are
currently unwilling or unable to effectively do business with the DoW due to barriers related to
security compliance, cybersecurity authorization processes, unfamiliarity with defense
acquisition and fiscal requirements, and misalignment between commercial licensing models and
DoW enterprise needs.


Current ad-hoc approaches result in slow adoption timelines, significant administrative burden
on Government personnel, missed opportunities for innovative capabilities, and reduced buying
power.


NIWC Atlantic seeks a prototype that will demonstrate a more effective, repeatable, measurable,
and scalable method to accelerate the path from market identification of emerging commercial
technologies to DoW-ready adoption decisions.
