Original company post
Commercial software vendors: the Army has opened a new prescreening route, but access is not yet public.
Project Gatekeeper launched October 23 to let developers submit code and containerized applications for automated evaluation. The Army identifies small technology firms and nontraditional defense vendors among those facing barriers this effort is designed to reduce.
For capture planning, the distinction matters: this is a software-evaluation pathway, not a solicitation, contract award or automatic authority to operate. Access currently requires a Common Access Card. Login.gov access is planned, but the announcement gives no firm public-access date.
