rTC Capture Insights

AI is key priority for Pentagon – this is important vehicle in that AI strategy
Vehicle likely to hit street in next few months.

We expect multiple Joint Ventures to be formed (both SB and OTSB) to win spots on this vehicle. There is likely still time to form your JV if you hustle.

We see this platform and this vehicle as a strategic priority for the Pentagon that will likely survive the current turmoil. Release date is still uncertain, but CDAO now has a new leadership team and they need a vehicle to source innovation from industry beyond what they can or cannot get from Booz Allen Hamilton as the ADVANA program contractor.

Don’t let uncertainty be the enemy of advance capture preparation.

Top Candidates Quals:

●    OTA or SBIR
●    Contracts over $100M (see above for category breakdown of contract values)
●    Large number of users
●    Experience/contracts in the 8 mandatory areas
●    Self-scoring points up to 97,500 - 80% of total points to be technically acceptable
