USAF Sources Sought: Data and Analytic Services

Notice ID: FA7146-25-DataAnalytic

The Intelligence Systems Support Office (ISSO), SAF/OC/CDMR, requires data analysis in support of ISSO projects, including the development of algorithms and visualizations from the data. Visualization will be a dashboard documenting behavior detected in analyzed data based on an ongoing initiative to a specific project use case. The dashboards should allow user input to create analytics use cases. Database design and optimization is required to accommodate novel use cases. Part of the process of building the dashboards requires the testing and development of innovative methods for interactive mapping of large quantities of data on the order of 2 million points visualized in an interactive, zoomable, plannable map created by Leaflet and deck.gl, utilizing GeoArrow. The dashboards require the development of Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes to ingest data based on on-the-fly user-defined requirements.

ISSO requires Machine Learning (ML) analysis to power the dashboards with the following requirements:

1. Computing clusters of points within physical proximity of each other. This comparison must be able to be performed on over 1 million points in under 1 minute.
2. Perform geographic clustering of identified point centroids to determine clusters. These clusters must be converted into geographic polygons.
3. Perform social network clustering of points found to be in close proximity of each other.
4. Model, using an ensemble of time series forecasting algorithms, usual activity in an area of interest (AOI) and signal an alert when actual activity deviates outside an acceptable range. The modeling process must take no longer than 5 minutes to calculate

The data ingestion process for the dashboards requires consuming commercially available data or ingesting from USG-provided Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) on Top Secret (TS) networks …
