Great news for efficient and expert government proposal evaluation: the US Army implemented an enterprise licensing agreement with Valid Eval to provide its platform on a licensed basis! "As we continue to serve the government by providing streamlined technology that drives efficiency and reduces the burden of expertly evaluating proposals from industry, this new way of doing business provides a new path for government to buy our software and meet them at their point of need," said?Adam Rentschler, CEO of Valid Eval.
关于我们
Valid Eval is an online evaluation system for organizations that make and defend tough decisions. It provides insight into the decision-making process, illuminating the details of evaluator assessments while reducing subjectivity and minimizing bias.

It’s based on widely accepted principals of cognitive and behavioral science, and uses purpose-built rubrics — performance standards and scoring criteria — developed in consultation with experts in the field. Valid Eval synthesizes and contextualizes diverse responses from evaluators who have relevant expertise, providing clear, concise, credible feedback that people can easily prioritize and act upon. Valid Eval was built from the ground up by people who intimately understand the challenges faced by those responsible for allocating scarce resources.

For acquisition executives and program managers, there’s often little upside to being the one who spearheads innovation.... And a disproportionate amount of downside to taking the risk of failure, which is necessary to innovate. Despite the unending supply of hot takes and long-form pieces on how defense acquisition reform is needed now, we can respect the system meant to prevent waste and abuse while addressing the need for speed. We have proof. Read Adam Rentschler's commentary in Washington Technology to see how.

Another way Valid Eval — behind the scenes — brings more velocity and more value to DoD acquisitions! Are videos the future for how industry pitches DoD? We are here for it. And for any other crazy-sounding (but legal!) acquisition innovations you’ve got for us. Let’s go!
Talk about innovation! I think we just changed the way the DoD does DevSecOps acquisitions… The first round of Technical Solutions is now available on the P1 Marketplace! ?? This means that these solutions are now able to be viewed, selected, negotiated, and awarded by DoD activities all in one place! This is not just for Platform One, but any DoD organization can jump in and view your technical solutions. ?? If you haven’t submitted to the Marketplace, what are you waiting for?? ?? The process is simple, all you need to do is submit a 5-minute video pitch and a Gov SME panel will evaluate your pitch for submission to the Marketplace. ?? Not selected? No problem! ?? You will receive feedback on how to improve your pitch and you are able to try again. A huge congratulations to the first round of selected Technical Solutions that are now available on the Marketplace! ?? Just to name a few VivSoft, Spectro Cloud, harpoon Corp, and Rackner are all now on the P1 Marketplace and readily awardable! Stay tuned to see the other solutions that have made their way in! ?? Don’t want to wait to see? Or have a technical solution that needs to be on the Marketplace? ?Check out the P1 Marketplace here: https://lnkd.in/gRPgi5KE To view the Key Strategic Areas click here: https://lnkd.in/gjMXtCYz #PlatformOne #Smallbusiness #Startup #Opportunity #Acquisitions #Innovation #Airforce #SoftwareDevelopment

?? One small step for smarter acquisitions, one giant leap for innovation! ?? NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration selected Valid Eval to evaluate SBIR/STTR program evaluations as a Phase III SBIR itself! “Serving NASA, its people and the innovation ecosystem that supports its mission has been a lifelong dream for Valid Eval,” said Adam Rentschler, CEO and co-founder of Valid Eval. “NASA’s trust in us to help manage part of its nearly $200 million annual award budget is a testament to our team’s consistent pursuit of acquisition excellence. We stand ready to help the agency evolve its technical evaluation system.”

Today in Washington Technology, Nick Wakeman reports that bid protests declined in FY24 after a big bump in 23. As our founder Adam Rentschler said: The top 3 reasons protests were sustained in FY24: (1) unreasonable technical **evaluation**, (2) poor decisions based on **evaluation** data, (3) unreasonable price **evaluation.** ?? Evaluation isn't just in our brand name; it's the reason we've provided a 12x reduction in the rate of protest filing, and zero sustained protests in over 14,000 protest-eligible rejected proposals.

What kind of improvements do you want to see in the federal acquisitions evaluation process? We work to make the human-powered acquisition process more humane. ? Our ML-enabled system is rooted in the science of assessment and optimized to live within #DoD workflows.? ? Our tools acknowledge and embrace the fact that humans are biased; we use ML to mitigate those impacts.? ? Our system acknowledges that life happens, even for source selection teams; when folks can't complete all the work, we adapt the program.? ? We measure decision-making confidence levels and assign human evaluators to improve decision confidence threshold. What else improves the process? Tell us in the comments.??

We reached a major milestone in our history of improving federal acquisitions. As of today, we have managed the evaluation of 12,697 government program proposals without a single sustained protest. ???? "Small and nontraditional businesses are critical to revolutionizing Army technology so that our Soldiers have the most advanced capabilities on the battlefield. Being able to efficiently award nondilutive capital and speed the process of transition and fielding is key to giving our military the decisive edge," said Matthew Willis, Ph.D., director of Army Prize Competitions and the Army SBIR|STTR Program. "The fact that we have a reliable, defensible and transparent platform to streamline evaluations means that we can advance Army critical priorities while providing a beneficial experience to companies who want to contribute to the mission."

Creating better experiences for users, judges, administrators, and applicants for federal and defense agencies is our greatest accomplishment. We’re building fair, trustworthy processes for greater transparency and accountability across the public sector. We’re grateful for the enduring opportunities to support amazing programs from $4B per year to small awards for internal teams. Each is incredibly important to our clients and to Valid Eval.
