Collaborative Project Orders (CPO)

A Collaborative Project Order (CPO) is a funding mechanism provided by a Government Partner to its innovation hub. In turn, ICWERX, on behalf of the Intelligence Community, can award funding to conduct a study, proof-of-concept, or prototype development for a designated End User.

Average Days
to Award

ICWERX is lowering the barriers of entry and moving at the speed of Industry. To showcase this, ICWERX monitors the time between the Government Partner selecting a Performer and ICWERX executing the RDA with a Performer. Traditionally, a process that may take months for the Government is shortened to weeks, if not days, to fully execute.
