AOI 27-A002 Commercial Technology Accelerator

The Department of War (DoW) Enterprise Software Initiatives seeks a prototype that creates an objective, repeatable, and scalable process to rapidly identify, validate, and transition emerging commercial software technologies into the DoW environment. The effort must streamline market scouting, demand validation, security assessment, and vendor education while minimizing administrative burden on government staff. The prototype should be demonstrable within six months and capable of supporting activities at multiple classification levels, preserving full government authority over requirements and decisions. • Design a repeatable business process to discover commercially successful software technologies. • Capture and prioritize DoW demand signals, match them to candidate technologies, and assess security/compliance. • Produce plain‑language artifacts and vendor guidance on acquisition, licensing, pricing, and fiscal requirements. • Demonstrate the end‑to‑end workflow on a realistic pilot, with metrics to show speed, cost‑efficiency, and scalability.
