The Pentagon canceled the draft solicitation for the Advana platform, aimed at enhancing data sharing within the Defense Department. Initially awarded to Booz Allen Hamilton in 2021 for $674 million, the platform encountered difficulties, necessitating infrastructure improvements. The new AAMAC program, intended to be a major initiative in AI government acquisition, is currently on hold. Officials highlighted that Advana continues to advance, serving as a significant enterprise capability. Future plans remain uncertain, pending further strategic decisions by the Department of Defense.
The Pentagon abruptly canceled a draft solicitation to compete its Advana platform, the enterprise data and analytics system run by the department's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office.
The Defense Department awarded a five-year, $674 million contract to Booz Allen Hamilton in 2021 for Advana, launched to enhance departmentwide data sharing.
A defense official stated that Advana continues to mature technically and programmatically and serves as a foundational enterprise capability.
The AAMAC program is currently on hold, and since the solicitation never made it out of the draft RFP stage, a new draft request will be needed.
