Q&A UpdatedNov 10, 2026 at 6:02 PM

Informational change · Requirements + Scope + Funding + Description

SI-Enabled “Just-in-time” Knowledge Delivery for Naval Maintainers

  • New Q1 added asking whether Phase I scope may include underlying software infrastructure (offline AI inference orchestration, model selection, verification, and execution control) that directly supports the Maintenance Associate's requirements.
  • New Q1 also asks whether subsystem-focused proposals must address all five Phase I objectives or whether implementation and demonstration can be tailored to the proposed component. This is useful for applicants proposing a single component rather than a full system.
  • Former Q1 (equipment, data, performance measures, hardware, security, integration) renumbered to Q2; its content is unchanged, and the Government's answers to those questions remain pending.
  • Former Q2 (matching funds) renumbered to Q3; the answer is unchanged: no matching funds are required for the initial Phase II award, and follow-on matching ratios vary.

Why it matters: applicants with a component-level approach now have an open question on whether they can scope down, and the official answer is still pending. Until answered, plan for all five Phase I objectives or confirm in writing before committing to a narrower scope.
