🚨 New Opportunity Alert (and this one’s a little different…) Just dropped on SAM.gov — a CRADA opportunity: NC3 Innovation Alliance. Translation for normal humans: 👉 This is NOT your typical contract 👉 This is a Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) 👉 Think: “Come innovate with us” vs. “Submit a bid and wait 6 months” 💡 What they’re actually looking for: They want companies working in: Advanced tech / innovation National security / nuclear command, control, and comms (NC3) R&D-heavy solutions Basically… if you’re building something that sounds like it belongs in a defense briefing instead of a sales deck—this is your lane. 🧠 Applicable NAICS (read between the lines): 541715 – R&D in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences 541330 – Engineering Services 541511 / 541512 – Software / Systems Integration 👉 If your NAICS screams “innovation,” you’re in the conversation. 😅 Real talk: This isn’t: ❌ Low bid ❌ Commodity work ❌ “We sell office supplies” energy This IS: ✅ Innovation-first ✅ Collaboration with government ✅ Early positioning before real contracts drop 🎯 Why you should care: CRADAs are where a lot of future contracts are born. Get in early → shape requirements → be ahead of your competition. Or… ignore it and compete later when 200 companies show up 😬 💬 Bottom line: If you’re in defense tech, R&D, or anything remotely cutting-edge—this is worth a look. If your capability statement still says “high-quality services at competitive prices”… this one might not be for you 😂 Link: https://lnkd.in/gneQuwTU #GovCon #Defense #APEXAccelerator #Innovation #DoW #SmallBusiness #CRADA
