About $3.13M to CACI — planning and artificial intelligence model sharing across four years and two months, long by the standards of these records

1Sharing as the subject

What the description names is planning, and the sharing of AI models. Building the arrangements by which a model made in one place is handed to another reads as the subject.

Sharing a model brings work with it: aligning the environment it runs in, recording what data trained it, aligning how performance is evaluated. Cost falls less on the technology than on building the handover. The record does not detail the methods, but sharing sits in the subject line.

2A period of four years and two months

The period runs from 2024-05-21 to 2028-07-20, four years and two months. Across the 222 federal spending records this site holds as of 2026-09-01 the median period is 2.00 years, with only 46 between three and five years and 6 at five or more.

Work that builds an arrangement does not finish once built; a stage of correcting it while it is used follows. A long period reads as reflecting that, though the record gives no reason.

3Recipients barely overlap

Across the 222 federal spending records this site holds as of 2026-09-01 there are 180 distinct recipient names and 181 unique entity identifiers. With 180 recipients across 222 records, most companies hold a single award, and the largest holds six.

Across the 207 Department of Defense contracts this site holds as of 2026-09-01, recipient names run to only 50, and one company carries eleven identifiers. Equipment procurement gathers into a few companies while general AI-related procurement spreads widely. Within the same federal procurement, how far recipients spread differs greatly.

4What sharing a model requires

Passing a model between organisations takes more than the model. The cost lies on that other side.

1. 1Align the running environmentGet it working the same way on the receiving side
2. 2Record the training dataKeep what data it was trained on
3. 3Align evaluationAgree how performance is measured
4. 4Build the handover procedurePut all of it into a shareable form

What the description names is planning and the sharing of AI models. Building the machinery to pass models between organisations reads as the object. The cost falls less on the technology than on constructing the handover. The record does not go as far as specific methods, though sharing is plainly placed as the subject.
