The government is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for the Automated Classification Management Environment (ACME), an AI-assisted capability to automate classification management in support of Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) operations. The current manual system hinders rapid data sharing within the Department of War, and the program aims to manage the lifecycle of EO 13526 and related classification/declassification guidance. Vendors are sought who can demonstrate technical maturity and core competencies to address the challenges of the ACME/Battering Ram effort, as detailed in the attached RFI document. Responses are welcome from both defense and non-defense industry sources, including those outside the Department of War. Interested parties should include the attached Vendor Q&A with their response.

The government is issuing a Request for Information for the Automated Classification Management Environment (ACME), a capability needed to support Joint All Domain Command and Control operations by automating classification processes. The current manual system delays data sharing, and the ACME program will manage the full lifecycle of classification and declassification policies. The government seeks input from vendors who can demonstrate the technical maturity and core competencies needed for this effort. Responses from outside the traditional defense industrial base are welcome, especially for non-standard solutions. An attached vendor Q&A must be included with any response.
