Basecamp's EPIX.ai Assessed "Awardable" for Department of Defense Work in the CDAO's Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace
A new acquisition pathway for federal customers seeking governed, mission-ready software delivery.
RESTON, VA — Monday, June 1, 2026 — Basecamp Consulting & Solutions, LLC (Basecamp), a provider of secure federal software modernization, DevSecOps, and governed AI delivery, today announced that its EPIX.ai solution has achieved "Awardable" status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office's (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.
The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is the premier offering of Tradewinds, the Department of Defense's (DoD's) suite of tools and services designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), data, and analytics capabilities.
EPIX.ai, Governed AI Acceleration for Mission-Ready Software Delivery, is Basecamp's governed software delivery platform. It addresses a gap that has become common across federal technology programs: teams can now build software with AI assistance in hours, but turning that code into a secure, authorized, production-ready capability still takes months. EPIX.ai closes that gap by running AI-accelerated software through structured intake, configurable policy-as-code guardrails, and human approval gates, so that every output is traceable back to the mission need that originated it and forward to the evidence that validates it. The result is an audit-ready package (control mappings, test evidence, and approval records) that gives an Authorizing Official what is needed to grant an authorization to operate.
Federal teams can build software with AI in hours, but getting it authorized and into production still takes months. "EPIX.ai closes that gap. It preserves the speed while producing the traceability and evidence an Authorizing Official needs. Earning Awardable status on Tradewinds gives our defense and civilian customers a faster path to put that capability to work."
Basecamp's video, EPIX.ai: Build Fast, Stay Traced, accessible only by government customers on the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, presents an actual use case in which an AI-generated microservice, with no documentation, tests, or control mappings, is carried through the EPIX.ai governed pipeline into a traceable, authorization-ready evidence package. Basecamp was recognized among a competitive field of applicants to the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace whose solutions demonstrated innovation, scalability, and potential impact on DoD missions. Government customers interested in viewing the video solution can create a Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace account at tradewindai.com.
