How RAM Works

The Government Pathway

How RAM works for government users.

For government users, RAM provides a structured pathway from mission need to discovery, review, engagement, and potential award.

  1. 01

    Define the Need

    Government teams identify a mission need, technical challenge, capability gap, or priority area.

  2. 02

    Choose the Right Pathway

    Government users can explore awardable solutions within an existing marketplace or work with ARI to issue an announcement and establish a new marketplace aligned to a specific mission need.

  3. 03

    Discover or Evaluate Solutions

    Within existing marketplaces, authorized users can search and compare assessed solutions. For new announcements, subject matter experts review submissions against published evaluation criteria.

  4. 04

    Identify Awardable Solutions

    Solutions that successfully complete the review process are designated as awardable or award-ready and made available to authorized government users within the marketplace.

  5. 05

    Engage and Move Toward Award

    Government users can engage solution providers, conduct additional due diligence, and pursue potential award through the applicable acquisition pathway.

What Government Users Gain

Discovery and engagement, with less friction.

Faster Discovery

Access a focused pool of solutions that have already been submitted and reviewed through a structured process.

Reduced Acquisition Friction

Shorten the path from market research to deeper engagement and potential award.

Portfolio-Level Visibility

Explore groups of capabilities across mission areas instead of relying only on one-off outreach.

Interoperability Across Marketplaces

Discover and leverage previously assessed technologies to reduce duplicative acquisition efforts and accelerate delivery to mission users.
