Government Sponsors

ARLIS aims to establish foundational partnerships with U.S. government entities that leverage our and advance RDT&E activities in areas of critical need. ARLIS focuses on applied and translational research for the Defense Intelligence and Security Enterprise and provides trusted support to U.S. government program managers and agencies across these communities in areas of national need.

How to work with us

To leverage the Department of Defense’s UARC authority, agencies can directly access ARLIS through a sole-source contract established by the Washington Headquarters Services Acquisition Directorate between the University of Maryland and OUSD (I&S). This indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract allows for decentralized ordering for entities throughout the DoD, the Intelligence Community and other interested federal agencies. OUSD (I&S) advises on plans for and oversees intelligence, counterintelligence, security, sensitive activities, and other intelligence-related matters.
