The Air Force Research Laboratory received four offers for the GARDEM program and the service branch will obligate $88,165 at the time of award.

AFRL sought industry partners to build a software toolkit intended to help users visualize general data, analyze infrastructure, generate reports, manage workflow, perform query/search functions and report incidents.

The awardees are:

  • American Systems
  • Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH)
  • General Dynamics’ (NYSE: GD) information technology business
  • Polaris Alpha, now part of Parsons

DoD expects contract work to be complete by Sept. 16, 2026.
