Background
The Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) , now CDAO was established in 2018 to be the focal point of the DoD Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy to accelerate scaling AI and its impact across the Department. Working closely with the Services, Combatant Commands, and other Components, CDAO helps identify appropriate use cases for AI across DoD, develops capabilities, and scales impact across our enterprise with the goal of transforming the DoD through AI.
We are committed to lowering the barriers to entry to this potential opportunity for non-traditional companies, especially those with limited or no prior experience working with the Federal Government or DoD. To support this, CDAO has released a set of guides on executing common steps required to work with the DoD in this capacity. Companies are encouraged to utilize these guides in responding to the DRAID Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) and Task Orders if needed.
