The first step is to learn about DISA’s Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP). As a staunch advocate on behalf of the small business community, the OSBP can help companies connect with business opportunities at DISA.
Meet us at DISAWERX, where you can work with DISA employees and academic partners in pursuit of novel and innovative solutions to DISA's biggest technical challenges.
DISAWERX is an innovation environment for DISA – a place where DISA can collaborate and experiment with new ideas and technologies in conjunction with partners from industry and academia. It will provide a physical facility providing both an open lab environment and conferencing center, where DISA can work with commercial and academic partners to pursue novel and innovative solutions to DISA’s biggest technical challenges. DISAWERX will provide onsite unclassified computing and networked environments that allow commercial and academic partners to bring their best ideas and capabilities to DISA where they can be demonstrated, examined, and evaluated. The objective is to make it much easier and faster to bring in, integrate, and explore such new IT tools, and services – avoiding the logistical and security challenges of doing so in DISA's governmental facilities. DISAWERX will provide a place where government, commercial, and academic groups can come together to learn from each other, conceive new, innovative approaches to DISA’s most pressing problems, and rapidly experiment with new, innovative solutions to those problems.
If you would like to present an innovative product or solution, consider participating in a Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM).
