Hitachi Vantara Federal Deemed "Awardable" in the Department of Defense Tradewind Solutions Marketplace

Hitachi Vantara Federal, the trusted leader in mission-centric data solutions for the Federal Government, proudly announces its awardable status into the Department of Defense's (DoD's) Tradewind Solutions Marketplace. This announcement comes after a rigorous selection process designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and other emerging technologies for government customers. The Pentaho+ capabilities deemed awardable include the data catalog, data integration, business analytics, content platform, and content intelligence.

The marketplace serves as a vital platform for defense agencies to efficiently access and engage with a diverse range of AI and data analytics solutions. It facilitates streamlined processes for searching, viewing, reviewing, comparing, contacting, discussing, negotiating, and procuring solutions. The marketplace also fosters collaboration between industry partners and government agencies to address critical challenges and drive innovation in areas such as AI/ML, digital transformation, and data analytics. Hitachi Vantara Federal's inclusion in the marketplace underscores its commitment to advancing defense capabilities.

The solution pitch videos available on the marketplace address four key elements including the problem, the technology's readiness level, the potential government impacts, and how the solutions differ from others. These video solutions undergo stringent assessment through competitive procedures compliant with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and relevant statutes, policies, and guidance governing the Department of Defense's Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs). The videos are exclusively available to government customers on the platform, offering an efficient pathway for DoD organizations to connect with industry, academia, and other innovators.

"We are thrilled to have been accepted to the Tradewind Solutions Marketplace," said Dr. Pragyansmita Nayak, chief data scientist at Hitachi Vantara Federal.
