What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense, specifically the USSOCOM’s 4th Psychological Operations Group (4 POG), is looking for AI-enabled software tools. These tools will be combined into a single platform to support information dissemination and influence operations.
The goal is to create a unified, user-friendly suite of tools that streamlines processes and enhances operational capabilities. This is an opportunity for vendors to integrate their innovative software into a critical government platform.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline to request to attend the Collaboration Event is August 5, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. If your request is favorably evaluated, you will receive an invitation to attend the event around August 19, 2026.
The Collaboration Event itself will take place on September 23-24, 2026, in North Carolina. Later, selected participants may be invited to submit solutions for an Assessment Event scheduled for January 12-14, 2027.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for government, industry, academic, national laboratory, and other non-traditional participants who develop AI-enabled software tools. The focus is on technology that can support information dissemination and influence operations.
Firms with expertise in artificial intelligence, software integration, and platforms designed for complex operational workflows will find this relevant. Only U.S. citizens are eligible to participate in the later Assessment Event.
