Call for Solution - Acquisition Data Nexus (ADN) Initiative

30 JANUARY 2025 CALL FOR SOLUTION:

The Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Digital Capabilities Contracting Center of Excellence (DC3oE), on behalf of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology [ASA(ALT)], Chief Automation and Data Integration Office (CADIO), is seeking innovative solutions to modernize the Army's Acquisition Data Nexus (ADN).

The ADN requirement addresses the Army's need to streamline and automate the integration, routing, and normalization of acquisition data across multiple disconnected systems, such as PMRT, VCE, and ACWS. Currently, acquisition professionals rely on manual processes to manage data, which leads to inefficiencies, inconsistent data, and delays in decision-making. The ADN initiative seeks to establish a secure, enterprise-wide data brokerage layer that simplifies data exchange, enforces standardization, and supports tailored workflows for Portfolio Acquisition Executives (PAEs) and their teams, enabling faster and more accurate decision-making across the Army acquisition enterprise. Complementing this backbone, an application and automation layer will provide intuitive tools for PAEs to define their unique business workflows and automate portfolio-specific tasks.
