On September 10, the Army Research Laboratory posted a
request for proposals for consulting services for the Innovation Hub (I-HUB)
Army Artificial Intelligence Institute (A2I2). Responses are due by September
17, according to FedBizOpps.
The
Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has embarked on an ambitious future-focused infrastructure
and facilities strategy consisting of MILCON, Sustainment, Repair and
Modernization (SRM) and equipment upgrades to bring our laboratories and
facilities up to the level sufficient to support campaigns/initiatives and Chief of Staff, Army (CSA) Modernization priorities. These initiatives include
the Innovation Hub (I-HUB), Army Artificial Intelligence Institute (A2I2) and
the Army Futures Command’s Open Campus.
The
Government leadership requires consulting services to survey existing
infrastructure, identify gaps in meeting current or future mission requirements,
and establish plans/strategies for addressing enhancing current, building new
or divesting of excess infrastructure. Additionally, a review of current
Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratory (STRL) statutory and regulatory
authorizations is required for inclusion into infrastructure strategic
planning.
The Government requires a two (2) tier approach to these requirements: 1) survey current infrastructure and assess which CSA Modernization priority it supports and 2) provide follow on reports to communicate requirements and develop plans for investment and execution strategies to address gaps.
