Platform and Chatbot License in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 13.5, as supplemented with additional information in this notice. The contract will be awarded to Druid AI Inc. Market research was previously conducted, and it has been determined that this is a sole source requirement IAW FAR 13.106-1(b) and AFFARS 5313.106-1(b).
Market research was conducted to determine if another brand name manufacturer could satisfy this requirement. No other “chatbot” company met the needs and time frame necessary to meet this request. At this time, DruidAI is the only company that sells this product. As such, they are the sole provider for this requirement.
