The DOD seeks a logistics support tool that can generate realistic courses of action (CoA) options for commanders.

New Solicitation Announcement

There is a new solicitation posted on our website. It is easy to respond with a 5-page paper or 15-slide slide deck. These limits are not requirements but are strongly recommended. Additional guidance about what we look for in a proposal is available here ( https://www.diu.mil/solution-brief-guidance?utm_campaign=website&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendgrid.com ). Our goal is to award an initial contract within 60-90 days of solicitation closure. Solicitation details and a link to the submission page are available below.

Joint Sustainment Decision Tool (JSDT)

The ability to effectively project and sustain forces across vast contested distances, regardless of time or place, is a cornerstone of U.S. military power. For decades, the DOD has been able to accomplish widespread sustainment through a complex, globally-postured network of logistics providers, enablers, and locations. This network of organizations, units, and agencies, often called the Joint Logistics Enterprise (JLEnt), forms the basis of the Department's ability to protect its interests at home and abroad.

Current logistics information technology tools available to the DOD do not possess the speed, scale, and intelligence required to plan, coordinate, and harmonize sustainment in multi-domain, large-scale, high operational tempo conflicts.

Consequently, the DOD seeks a logistics support tool that can generate realistic courses of action (CoA) options for commanders in dynamic, contested, and degraded environments, preferably utilizing artificial intelligence and/or machine learning. *Learn more* ( https://www.diu.mil/work-with-us/submit-solution/PROJ00621?utm_campaign=website&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendgrid.com ) *.*
