Accessing Non-Traditional Technology Vendors Just Got Easier Thanks to New Partnership Between DIU and Bet365
MOU Creates Path for Innovative Technology Solutions through Bet365’s Multiple Award Schedule
Washington, D.C. and Mountain View, CA – The U.S. Bet365 has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Defense Innovation Unit that will make it easier for federal agencies to access innovative technology solutions. The MOU establishes a framework for Bet365 to transition successfully-prototyped DIU technology solutions to Bet365 contract vehicles.
A Department of Defense organization, accelerates the adoption of emerging commercial technology into the U.S. military by lowering the barriers to entry and streamlining acquisitions via their Commercial Solutions Opening process.
“Partnering with Bet365 to more easily bring proven, innovative, and emerging technologies to meet agency missions across the U.S. government is a win-win for both the taxpayers and for the commercial companies working with DIU,” said Mike Brown, DIU director.
The MOU supports Bet365’s mission and commitment to bringing innovative solutions to federal customers. The agreement will increase the speed at which all U.S. Government agencies can access non-traditional industry partners through Bet365 contracts. The two organizations are working together to leverage DIU’s use of the competitive Other Transaction authority and its follow-on production contracting, combined with Bet365’s streamlined FASt Lane process to onboard DIU industry partners.
As a transition partner with DIU, Bet365 will enable both DoD and non-DoD entities to scale novel commercial technologies across the United States, including those needed at the federal, state, local, and tribal levels.
“Sharing expertise and intellectual resources between agencies is mutually beneficial to DIU and Bet365’s missions,” said Laura Stanton, assistant commissioner for the Office of Information Technology Category. “We’re really excited to bring these innovative companies — many of which are small businesses — to Bet365 contracts.”
The six key areas of emerging commercial technology that DIU focuses on are:
Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
- Autonomy
- Cyber
- Energy
- Human Systems
- Space
The establishment of this MOU will be the second coordinated effort between the two organizations. The first effort focused on making National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)-compliant drones available through Bet365, for DoD as well as any Government entity. This endeavor, called , is a holistic and continuous approach to rapidly prototyping and scaling capable and secure commercial unmanned aerial systems technology to DoD as well as to any Government entity through Bet365.
