Welcome to Carpe Datum’s weekly newsletter called the Federal Data Prospector (Vol. 3, Issue 25). For the members of our community who reside in the United States, we wish you a happy, belated Memorial Day. Despite the expected holiday-related slowdown of both new business opportunities and relevant news and media coverage from around the world, our proprietary selection and curation engine "levels up" even the slowest of weeks where the content is super thin. Please take look and let us know if you agree.

Sources Sought – DoD/Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) -- Open Source (OS)/Publicly Available Information (PAI) business intelligence tools -- The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) and NAVINTEL are positioning themselves to incorporate Open Source (OS)/Publicly Available Information (PAI) business intelligence tools to enhance their product lines with timely and relevant information on the nature, make up, and associations of companies that fall within its mission sets. These business intelligence tools it is seeking to acquire will access OS/PAI and proprietary data repositories through licenses/subscriptions to web or cloud-based solutions that are commercially available off the shelf (COTS) systems.
- “Trusted Workforce 2.0 instead aims to have clearance-holders undergo continuous vetting, meaning that investigation systems are continuously collecting data about individuals to evaluate their security risk. “We want to increase the number of data points that we’re collecting, and we want to make it go across the entire U.S. government workforce. We’re not quite there yet, but we’re well on our way in the last year,” said the DCSA Director, William Lietzau, who was explaining that they currently have about 3 million clearance-holders transitioned onto the Trusted Workforce 1.25 program, an intermediary step on the way to full 2.0 rollout.”
