Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) - Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO) Innovation Ventures Office (IVO) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is soliciting research and development proposals through a Broad Agency Announcement for Enterprise Technology, specifically targeting the Office of the Chief Information Officer's Innovation Ventures Office. This initiative seeks innovative solutions from science and technology firms and educational institutions to address a variety of problem sets centered on Artificial Intelligence and its sub-fields. Key areas of interest include content extraction, all-source data management, workflow automation, cybersecurity, AI governance, and the creation of a common data fabric environment to enhance information-sharing capabilities for law enforcement and intelligence communities. The solicitation is open for full and open competition, with the expiration date extended to May 16, 2027. The acquisition process follows a two-step approach, beginning with the submission of a white paper not exceeding ten pages, followed by a formal proposal if invited. Evaluation is based on technical approach, capabilities and relevant experience, and a rough order of magnitude, all of which are considered of equal importance. While most work is expected to be performed at the unclassified level, certain requirements may necessitate Top Secret or SCI clearances. All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management and provide their Unique ID and CAGE code. Submissions are handled via email, and the government reserves the right to revise problem sets or close the announcement prior to the stated expiration date.
