RS21 Wins Spot on $241M Artificial Intelligence Contract for DoD

RS21, a data science company developing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies for high-impact sectors, has been awarded a basic ordering agreement (BOA) for the Data Readiness for Artificial Intelligence Development (DRAID). The award was made on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) and has a $241 million ceiling across task orders over five years. The U.S. Army Contracting Command awarded agreements to establish a decentralized vehicle that streamlines rapid procurement and agile delivery of AI data readiness capabilities for the DoD. Through the DRAID vehicle, RS21's capabilities will be available to support AI data readiness services to meet DoD requirements. RS21 will compete on specific task orders released for the JAIC DRAID to build reliable, ethical AI-enabled systems intended to transform the DoD and increase opportunities for AI activities across the Department.
