PM IS&A - Automated Data Collection, Reduction, and Analysis (DCRA) Framework - Request for Information (RFI)

UPDATE 29 August 2024: The Government is notifying the following changes: A revised DCRA RFI document, dated 28 August 2024, is uploaded into the attachments section. The final paragraph regarding submission instructions has been revised. This revision clarifies that not all RFI responses need to be marked as CUI. However, RFI responses that contain any CUI (such as proprietary business information) must be marked accordingly, and shall be submitted by the respondent using DoD SAFE.

Requests for DoD SAFE dropboxes shall be sent to the two email contacts listed no later than 24 hours before the submission due date. RFI responses that do not contain CUI or CUI markings may be sent directly by email to the listed contacts. The due date for submissions remains unchanged.
