ARLINGTON, VA. — November 3, 2026 — r4 Federal today announced that it has been designated an "Awardable" vendor in the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office's (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace. Two of r4’s offerings, Workforce & Talent Optimization and its Predictive Asset Readiness, have been added to the marketplace and are readily available to Department of War customers seeking proven AI capabilities to improve readiness, sustainment, logistics, and enterprise decision-making.
The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is the premier offering of Tradewinds, the Department of War’s (DoW’s) suite of tools and services designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), digital, and data analytics capabilities.
r4's DecisionOps solutions help defense organizations reduce decision latency across sustainment, procurement, logistics, and readiness by connecting data, decisions, and coordinated action across complex operational environments. Powered by the XEM® platform, these capabilities enable leaders to anticipate risk, coordinate action faster, and improve mission outcomes while keeping human judgment at the center of every consequential decision.
"Military organizations don't struggle because they lack information. They struggle when information doesn't reach the people who need it quickly enough to act," said David Bradley, CEO of r4 Federal. "That's the problem XEM was built to solve. We're pleased to make those capabilities more accessible through the Tradewinds Marketplace."
Rather than replacing existing systems, XEM sits above them, connecting operational, logistics, maintenance, and supply chain data into a predictive operating picture that helps leaders anticipate risk, coordinate action, and make better decisions before small issues become mission-impacting problems.
"This recognition reflects where enterprise AI is headed," said Paul Breitenbach, Founder and CEO of r4 Technologies. "Organizations don't need another dashboard. They need technology that helps people make better decisions together. That's what XEM was built to do, and we're excited to make it more accessible to Department of War organizations through Tradewinds."
r4 was selected from a competitive field of applicants whose technologies demonstrated the potential to address critical Department of War missions.
