- Supply-chain risk management = a practical area as semiconductor/critical-component procurement becomes a security concern
The CDAO (Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office) is the central organization, established in 2022, that oversees digital, data, and AI across the DoD; it was formed by consolidating predecessors such as the JAIC. This contract supports developing an environment (platform) to evaluate supply-chain risk for the CDAO. Supply-chain risk management is a practical area for data and AI, as the procurement of semiconductors and critical components becomes a security concern.
The scope states the platform's purpose but not detailed functions, so we do not assert them (refer to primary sources).
