Dev Technology Group has been awarded a spot on the Data Readiness for Artificial Intelligence Development (DRAID) 5-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with a ceiling of more than $240 million. The DRAID BOA covers the data engineering and architecture work necessary to support and execute AI development and governance activities performed by the JAIC.

Dev Technology brings more than 20 years of Federal experience in data engineering and management alongside award-winning Artificial Intelligence knowledge and expertise in support of orders to be awarded under this agreement.

“We’re pleased to be a part of the success and continuing story of the JAIC to advance the mission of integrating AI into all aspects of Defense. Dev Technology is well positioned for this type of work by combining a rich history of mission-focus in delivery and deep research, development, and prototyping with DARPA and GSA,” said John Janek, Dev Technology’s Chief Technologist.

“Data readiness is the key predictor of the success of a machine-learned predictive model.  JAIC’s prioritization of this critical precursor bodes well for the DoD’s future application of AI and ML to national defense,” said Josh Powers, Dev Technology’s Technical Director for AI/ML.
