RFI CNET Reverse Engineering and AI

The Department of Defense, specifically the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC), is issuing a sources-sought Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation FA489027RFI0004 to identify industry capabilities for specialized engineering support. The effort focuses on providing on-site expertise in software reverse engineering and artificial intelligence in Dahlgren, Virginia. The scope of work encompasses telecommunications, computer networking, and computing automation, with a primary goal of developing tools for analysis, model development, and network simulation. Key activities include equipment maintenance, troubleshooting, the development of proof-of-concept cyber capabilities, and the execution of distributed training runs on GPU clusters. Technical requirements for reverse engineering include deep expertise in x86/x86-64, ARM/AArch64, MIPS, PowerPC, and RISC-V architectures, as well as proficiency in Windows, Linux, and MacOS internals, cryptography, and de-obfuscation. For artificial intelligence, the government seeks expertise in the full foundation model lifecycle, including pre-training at trillion-token scale, post-training alignment, agentic AI, and neurosymbolic integration. Interested parties must provide responses to the technical questions by noon EST on November 15, 2026. There is no set-aside for this requirement, and the work is designated as 100 percent on-site at the Joint Warfare Analysis Center.
