The RAND Corporation's National Defense Research Institute (NDRI), a Federally Funded Research and Development Center, supports the Department of War (DoW) and other agencies through objective research and analysis. This strategic relationship brings private sector expertise to tasks integral to the DoW's mission that cannot be met effectively by existing government or other contractors. The primary sponsor is the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment. No specific timelines, budget amounts, or performance locations are mentioned in the description. The opportunity focuses on independent research, development, and analytic services.
