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

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.
