PEO-SDA: UxSAI Synthetic Data Modeler Assessment Event (AE) Submit NLT 29 June 2026 11:59 PM ET U.S. Citizens Only Purpose SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM Program Executive Office SOF Digital Applications (PEO-SDA), will host a series of events to identify and evaluate synthetic data generation capabilities for EO/IR computer vision model development in support of the Unmanned Systems Autonomy and Interoperability (UxSAI) program. This event aims to evaluate whitepaper responses and down-select innovative solutions for test and evaluation (T&E) to enhance detection and classification computer vision (CV) algorithm performance for all USSOCOM unmanned systems, leveraging UxSAI software architecture. Background/Synopsis The UxSAI program develops and fields AI/ML-enabled computer vision capabilities for unmanned systems operating across air, ground, and maritime domains. Training high-performance CV models requires large volumes of labeled, operationally relevant EO/IR imagery. Manual data collection is constrained by cost, access, and the inability to capture rare events, contested environments, or classified threat signatures. Synthetic data generation addresses this gap by producing labeled datasets that simulate operational variability without real-world acquisition constraints. UxSAI is seeking a synthetic data generation platform where program personnel can operate independently to produce EO/IR training imagery as part of the program's existing machine learning operations (MLOps) pipeline. Objective Identify synthetic data generation providers capable of delivering a platform that produces labeled EO/IR synthetic training data for CV model development. The selected provider should deliver a self-service capability that UxSAI personnel can operate organically, without ongoing vendor dependency for data generation, and the UxSAI program intends to complete test and evaluation (T&E) on vendor deliverables as a part of this event. Why You Should Participate USSOCOM seeks to enter into non-FAR or FAR-based agreements with Industry, Academic, and National Lab partners whose solutions are favorably evaluated by USSOCOM PEO-SOF Digital Applications (SDA) Unmanned Systems Autonomy and Interoperability (UxSAI) Program Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). As such, the follow-on Assessment Event (AE) is considered competitive, and solutions will be evaluated independently of one another primarily for technical merit. This serves dually as notification of the intent to research the feasibility of an agreement under 10 U.S. Code, Section 4022 and/or Section 4022(f), and as notice of pre-solicitation activities IAW FAR 5.204. Event Timeline *All events and related milestones will be held virtually. Phase 1 - 1 June 2026 to 29 June 2026 Submissions to the Assessment Event (AE) Open: Interested respondents who could potentially provide solutions that meet the needs of USSOCOM are encouraged to submit their capability for USSOCOM review.
