AI Contract Overview

The Department of War's Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) seeks innovative solutions to enhance its ability to rapidly understand and engage with the technology and business ecosystems critical to the future defense industrial base. This initiative, mandated by Section 230 of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, addresses current challenges including fragmented information and uneven workforce expertise, aiming to accelerate Department readiness through accurate, timely, and context-rich data on emerging technologies, capital markets, and industrial base conditions. OSC requires solutions that provide operational insights to reduce the time it takes personnel to translate between private market companies and financial professionals, enabling efficient sourcing, assessment, and closure of financial transactions. The solutions should focus on four key areas: market research to improve understanding of critical defense industrial base capabilities; capital markets insights to grasp the strategic influence of venture and private capital within defense priorities; Lean Launchpad Methodology for prototyping business processes and training personnel using commercial off-the-shelf software or training solutions; and placement assistance to facilitate personnel engagement with relevant private-sector organizations, including tracking outcomes such as competency development, successful financial transactions, and impacts on national security. The effort is managed by Washington Headquarters Services and the Department of Defense, with a submission deadline set for January 16, 2026. An amendment has updated the contact email for coordination purposes.

Full Description

The Department of War (DoW) Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) is responsible for shaping private investment toward national security priorities. To do this effectively, OSC must operate from accurate, timely, and context rich data on emerging technologies, capital markets, and industrial base conditions. Decision speed is constrained today by fragmented information, inconsistent analytic tools, and uneven workforce understanding of the ecosystems driving defense relevant innovation.

Section 230 of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), directs the Department to deepen its understanding of emerging technology and commercial business environments. OSC intends to use this Area of Interest to close these knowledge gaps and accelerate Department readiness.

OSC seeks complete innovative solutions that enable personnel of the Department to rapidly understand the technology and business ecosystems shaping the future defense industrial base. Solutions must deliver operational insight, not theoretical analysis, and must reduce time to understanding and deliver skills so Department personnel can effectively contribute and translate between private market companies, especially private credit, and banking professionals. Combined with established military experience and perspective this should result in capabilities to source, assess, and close financial transactions within OSC.

OSC seeks solutions in one or more of the four areas of primary focus:

Market Research - understanding of, connectivity with, and access to knowledge about critical and emerging defense industrial base capabilities; and
Capital Markets - Understanding of the strategic role that venture capital and private capital play in shaping future, scaling, sustainment and modernization for the defense industrial base. This includes but is not limited to all OSC covered technology areas and Department strategic priorities.
Lean Launchpad Methodology - Prototype business processes to rapidly acquire, deploy, and train personnel of the Department on the use of commercial off the shelf software and/or training solutions that enable rapid attainment of the understanding and access mandated by Section 230 of the 2025 NDAA.
Placement Assistance – Facilitate placement in qualifying private-sector organizations who have functions and expertise relevant to the responsibilities of OSC, shadow senior leaders within those organizations, and develop meaningful metrics capturing outcomes and effects (e.g., time to competency, number of successful financial transactions, and impact on national security priorities).

See the attached Area of Interest for further information.
