SI/ML Model Development and Optimization

This subcontract for the United States Navy focuses on the research and design of Super Intelligence and Machine Learning methods to support prime contractors on STTR projects. The primary objective is to develop models that map parameter count to performance while creating explainable logic pathways and reliability metrics to remove black box vulnerabilities. Additionally, the project requires the optimization of these models for deployment on low-cost CPU and embedded edge hardware, culminating in the delivery of a prototype methodology and a technical feasibility report. The opportunity is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 541511, specifically mandated for firms with fewer than 500 employees. Due to the nature of the defense work, contractors must maintain CMMC Level 2 compliance. Interested parties must respond by December 2, 2026, to participate in this Department of Defense initiative.
