Defense Innovation Unit

Commercial-tech-to-DoD bridge with accelerated procurement authorities.

§01 · Why it matters

What this agency is about, in one paragraph.

DIU's CSO process is the fastest path from commercial product to DoD prototype contract. Allied-tech vendors with a US entity can apply directly.

§02 · Allied tech angle

Why allied tech vendors should pay attention here.

Allied vendors with a US-incorporated entity can apply to DIU CSOs directly. The CSO pathway is one of the few federal procurement mechanisms allied vendors can navigate without a US prime.

Programs Bridger tracks closely for DIU.

    Tech-area-themed problem statements with rolling submission and prototype-to-production OTA pathway.
