DCSA INNOVATION GATEWAY

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) Innovation Gateway is a competitive solicitation that will result in the award of prototype projects under Other Transaction Agreements (OTA). It is our commercially-focused front door for innovators. Our goal is simple: to partner with creative companies to solve our most critical mission challenges. Innovation Gateway Process The Innovation Gateway is a general announcement of DCSA’s general areas of interest (Digital Transformation Enablement, Data Integration and Advanced Analytics, Cyber and Industrial Security, Digital Workforce and Governance). The general soliciation includes criteria for selecting Solution Concept Papers and soliciting the participation of all proposers capable of satisfying the Government’s needs. Proposal requests will be issued via ‘Innovation Calls’ that are published separately under the DCSA Innovation Gateway at various times during the open period of this solicitation. Innovation Calls will be published via Sam.gov through separate solicitation postings referencing the DCSA Innovation Gateway. Proposers are required to use the Solution Concept Paper Template (DCSA Innovation Gateway Attachment 1) to submit their solutions. The Government will only accept proposals in response to Innovation Calls. Unsolicited proposals that are not in response to an Innovation Call will not be reviewed by the Government.
