This is not a solicitation for a procurement contract, nor should this announcement be construed as implying any future solicitation by USTRANSCOM or any other federal government agency in this area. 

United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is seeking non-federal partners (“Collaborators”) in industry and/or academia to consider for entry into Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) with the federal government, as described in 15 USC 3710a, to produce study results illustrating the uses, limitations, and delivered value of emerging technology for USTRANSCOM.  These studies will produce findings on technical and operational maturity, uses, economics, underlying technologies, and risks/benefits of emerging MASS systems in support of Department of War (DoW) materiel distribution needs across global supply chains.
