UNACORN Automated Cross-Domain Semantic Intelligence Fusion (GraphRAG)

The Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific is soliciting unclassified Phase 1 solution briefs under Area of Interest Call Notice 26-A001, part of the parent Commercial Solutions Opening N66001-26-S-C002. The objective is to acquire an automated system to scale the UNACORN platform, a Navy data mesh and graph ecosystem. The required solution must utilize Natural Language Processing and a hybrid GraphRAG architecture consisting of a Knowledge Graph and Vector Database to ingest and structure entities and relationships from high volumes of unstructured text reports at machine speed. A critical requirement is the ability to use a deterministic rule enforcement engine and rapid entity alignment to securely transfer enriched data across Unclassified, Secret, and TS/SCI classification boundaries in compliance with RMF-ICD 503 security guidelines. The procurement follows a three-phase competitive process: a merit-based peer review of solution briefs, followed by potential pitches and technical demonstrations, and concluding with a full technical and price proposal for selected offerors. Phase 1 submissions must be delivered via email to Lee Anderson by September 28, 2026, at 15:00 PDT. Submissions are limited to either a five-page text document or a 15-slide deck and must include an executive summary, technical approach, integration plan, intellectual property details, and a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate. Evaluation is based on innovation, relevance to the problem statement, and technical feasibility. Strict proprietary marking requirements must be followed on the cover page and individual sheets for any data containing trade secrets.
