AI-Assisted RMF Pre-Adjudication for Research, Development, and Rapid Prototyping Environments
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The Defense Logistics Agency is seeking SBIR proposals for an AI-assisted RMF pre-adjudication capability to improve cybersecurity documentation quality for research, development, and rapid prototyping environments. The work centers on analyzing draft RMF artifacts such as control implementation statements and system architecture documents to identify missing, inconsistent, or weak content and return structured, confidence-scored feedback. The solution should operate on submitted artifacts rather than a conversational interface, distinguish narrative from supporting evidence, include an explicit human attestation mechanism, and preserve existing RMF authority structures without automating authorization decisions. Phase I is limited to a 12-month effort and $100,000 for a prototype demonstration in a government-approved R&D sandbox, and the solicitation is scheduled to open May 27, 2026 with applications due June 24, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET.
