From the notice

Intelligence Resource Execution and Oversight (Project Argus)- HQ0034279R001 Area of Interest: The Under Secretary of War for Intelligence and Security (USW(I&S)) requires a prototype solution to replace the legacy Budget and Intelligence Related Database (BIRD). USW(I&S) is responsible for overseeing intelligence resource execution across the Department. The current BIRD system, developed and maintained by multiple contractor teams over more than a decade using disparate technology stacks and evolving priorities, now suffers from outdated software frameworks, inefficient code, and an overly complex database schema. These deficiencies impede timely analysis, increase manual workload, and limit the ability of analysts to support senior leader decision-making on intelligence resources. USW(I&S) seeks a modern, flexible, and extensible system that enables efficient ingestion, cataloguing, analysis, and visualization of intelligence resource data. The desired end-state is a single, user-friendly platform that supports rapid querying, analytic dashboards, and an intuitive interface (including special intelligence-enabled natural language queries) so that analysts can produce accurate, timely insights and the Congressional Justification Book (CJB) with significantly reduced manual effort. The prototype solution must deliver the following core capabilities (additional modules may be required based on evolving USW(I&S) priorities): Ingestion and management of current and historical Intelligence Resource data and execution data.
