Operator Pursuit Stack — What Terry Pursues (and What to Skip)

This is the conversation on paper. If it is not here, it should not be on the hub.

BLUF — your next 7 days

Priority	What	Deadline	Verdict
1	JTIC2S RFI — email v10.zip	Mon 23 Jun, 1:00 PM ET	SEND (package ready)
2	DLA26BZ02-NV007 — STRIKE AI / OT critical infrastructure	Tue 24 Jun, noon ET	SUBMIT Phase I
3	DLA26BZ02-NV006 — AI-assisted RMF pre-adjudication	Tue 24 Jun, noon ET	SUBMIT Phase I
4	SPIN-TX form	Rolling	SEND (~20 min)
5	Release 3 TPOC questions (DoN topics you want)	Mon 23 Jun	Questions only — submit proposals starting 24 Jun

Release 2 closes the same day Release 3 opens (24 Jun). R2 is your last chance for NV006/NV007 this cycle.

Phase I: yes — $100K, 12 months.
Fit: Commander's intent → machine-speed, deconflicted cyber + physical response plan. That is ATLAS COA generation, COP alert-intel, cyber engines, and homeland/EM dual-use — not a new invention.
Win angle: Human-on-the-loop with AGOS audit; DDIL for degraded comms; dual-use water/power/grid narrative for CISA/USNORTHCOM lane.

Phase I: yes — $100K, 12 months.
Fit: Topic wants artifact analysis with human attestation and traceable findings. That is GREEN/AMBER/RED + citation-required AGOS — your core discriminator.
Win angle: Complements NV005 (cyber agents) without duplicating it; positions ISS for DLA enterprise cyber governance.

131A fit is real — deliberate targeting is COA generation under adversary uncertainty.
Catch: DSIP lists this as Direct to Phase II only. You need a white paper proving mature prototype + quantified performance vs expert planners. Pursue only after NV006 and NV007 are certified, unless you explicitly want a D2P2 shot this week.

Send 2–3 questions per topic to topic authors before 23 Jun. Draft full proposals when portal opens 24 Jun through 22 Jul noon ET.

Tier	Topic	Why
A	DON26BX03-NP002 — C-UAS CSO	Open-architecture C-UAS; OT path; DITS + ACES proof
A	DON26BZ03-NV059 — Zero trust combat systems data/access	AGOS, sovereign LLM, audit chains
B	Maritime anomaly / multi-band discovery / predictive tracking / terminal defense / adaptive sensors / embarked data transfer	Scan DSIP on 24 Jun — submit every GREEN, skip RED (hardware-only, TS/SCI, materials)
B	AFWERX R3 (10 topics)	Filter: C-UAS, C2, contested logistics, runtime autonomy, disaster preparedness — reuse NV008 draft if autonomy returns

No arbitrary cap of 3 — operator preference is continuous submission of GREEN topics, not spreading across 25 weak fits.

Pursuit	Deadline	Verdict
NATO DIANA 2027	3 Jul	Pursue — refresh multidomain sensing proposal
DARPA DISCORD	9 Jul	Pursue — decision intel; overlaps DV004 theme but different vehicle
NG FedTech accelerator	1 Jul	Conditional — software/sustainment angle only
SOFWERX UxSAI	29 Jun	Conditional — only if R2 done
Release 4 SBIR	Opens 22 Jul	Watch — scan after R3 submits

USSOCOM SOFGSD, S²MARTS MTSD (unless prime invites sub), Leidos MCiS greenfield, Army MAPS without sponsor
Scout cards and sub-to-prime OTAs without membership unless a sponsor appears
