AI Enabled Portfolio Management

The Department of Defense, specifically the Army, is seeking innovative solutions through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop an AI-enabled portfolio management system aimed at modernizing the acquisition process. This initiative addresses critical challenges such as inconsistent processes for IT acquisition requirements, limited visibility into the status of approved requirements, and inadequate scanning of existing contracts and assets. The goal is to create a centralized platform that integrates tools and best practices to streamline the Army's acquisition requirements intake and portfolio management, ultimately reducing redundancy and optimizing resource allocation. Interested small businesses can submit Direct to Phase II proposals for up to $2 million, with a deadline for applications set for July 9, 2025.
