# DIA Solicits $14B COMET Analysis Support

The Defense Intelligence Agency issued the second edition of its unclassified “Analyzing Will to Fight” framework, standardizing assessments of combatant resolve through four categories, population-level factors, and a five-point scale. The procurement opportunity identified is DIA’s potential $14 billion COMET program supporting the Missile and Space Intelligence Center; its RFP was issued in March 2026 and includes foundational and technical intelligence analysis. The framework also points to ongoing demand for analytic, data, and AI capabilities, though the signal does not specify the solicitation’s current status or response deadline.

- The COMET work areas named in the signal are foundational and technical intelligence analysis for MSIC; firms with relevant capabilities can assess their fit against the solicitation materials.
- Because the RFP was issued in March 2026, interested contractors should verify the current solicitation status and any remaining procurement milestones before planning a bid.
- DIA’s standardized analytic framework indicates a continuing need for contractors able to support structured intelligence assessment, data analysis, and AI-enabled capabilities.
