Unified Data Reference Architecture (UDRA) Request for Information

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics & Technology (ASA(ALT)) Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (DASA) for Data, Engineering, and Software (DES) to provide the United States (U.S.) Army with a better understanding of industry capabilities, potential sources, and best practices relevant to the implementation of a Unified Data Reference Architecture (UDRA) for the U.S. Army. The UDRA is being developed to provide solution implementation guidance for interoperable data sharing by all Army acquisition programs. The Army does not foresee establishing a single program to acquire the UDRA implementation. The goal is to include demonstrating UDRA conformance as a contract requirement for Army data centric solution acquisitions. This RFI invites industry to submit relevant information, comments, capabilities, and recommendations for approaches, potential development, implementation opportunities, and corresponding business models. Responses to this RFI will assist the U.S. Army in determining if commercial sources exist that are capable of conforming to UDRA implementation requirements. After the receipt of responses to this RFI, the Government may invite some or all RFI respondents to further discuss their capabilities, solutions, and practices with Government representatives. See attachments for more information.
