Data Analytics & AI to Counter Global Diversion

This contract aims to strengthen global export control systems by leveraging data analytics and artificial intelligence to detect and prevent the diversion of controlled commodities. It will begin with an in-depth analysis of trade data to uncover patterns of noncompliance, followed by the development of intuitive data visualizations and dashboards to assist export control authorities in making informed decisions. Training programs will be provided to equip these agencies with the skills to integrate data-driven approaches into their daily operations. A second critical component involves creating a mobile application accessible via smartphone, designed for frontline officers to rapidly identify and verify controlled items in the field, enhancing real-time enforcement capabilities. The third pillar focuses on building the capacity of recipients to engage proactively with regulated industries, using emerging proliferation trends to guide targeted outreach and compliance efforts. The initiative, solicited by the Bureau of Arms Control and Nonproliferation under the Department of State, targets the NAICS code 541690 and has a response deadline of August 21, 2026, with a single point of contact provided for inquiries.
