The effort (CEMDAR) seeks a small‑business contractor to design and implement cloud‑based data pipelines, relational cost databases, automated analytics workflows, and scalable machine‑learning models that improve data fidelity, accelerate decision support, and enable rapid trade‑off studies across weapon‑system commodities. The award will be a cost‑reimbursement contract (or other appropriate instrument) with a ceiling of $24 M, a performance period of 12‑60 months, and mandatory Top‑Secret facility clearance for the prime. White papers are due 19 Oct 2026; successful papers will be invited to submit full proposals.
