Vehicle overview
The Data Readiness for Artificial Intelligence Development (DRAID) Basic Ordering Agreement is a Department of Defense vehicle managed by the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) and administered by Army Contracting Command at Rock Island (ACC-RI). It gives DoD organizations a fast path to acquire the data engineering and preparation work that AI and machine-learning systems depend on, from raw data through model-ready datasets. DRAID was established as a multi-year agreement with a pool of 15 industry holders awarded through the CDAO's Tradewinds acquisition ecosystem.
DRAID covers the tasks needed to create, acquire, curate, prepare, manage, and secure datasets for DoD AI model development, testing, and operation. Representative work includes extract-transform-load (ETL) and data engineering, database design and development, data science, data analysis, and data collection and curation, along with related project and outreach management. DoD components place orders directly against the holders' agreements.
