Description
CDS SUSTAINMENT - BASE YEAR AND 5-YEAR SUPPORT FOR ACURL AND NIRL SURROGATE ENCRYPTIONS
Score Rationale
This is a sustainment and support contract for encryption systems (ACURL and NIRL surrogates), with no mention of AI, ML, or any algorithmic work whatsoever. The problem is purely operational sustainment ('base year and 5-year support'), not a research or development challenge. Lockheed Martin is a large legacy prime contractor—the opposite of an AI-native firm. This award has zero relevance to AI-native defense procurement.
