Federal Contractor Partnerships
Add Independent AI Oversight
to Your Government Team.
ETE Oversight partners with federal contractors, systems integrators, AI vendors, cybersecurity organizations, and technology providers that require independent AI evaluation, deployment-readiness, governance, assurance, or lifecycle oversight capabilities.
ETE is designed to complement AI builders, systems integrators, and technology providers. ETE does not sell or deploy the AI systems it is engaged to independently assess.
Where ETE Fits
Government programs requiring independent AI oversight.
When a prime contractor or team member is also the AI developer, integrator, or platform provider, the program may need an independent party to perform or oversee the evaluation, assurance, and governance workstreams.
ETE is designed to fill that role: a specialist subcontractor with no stake in the AI system being evaluated, focused entirely on independent assessment, documentation, governance, and oversight.
Teaming & Subcontracting
How ETE participates on contract.
ETE can support any combination of these roles depending on program requirements, contract scope, and the role of other team members.

Task Order Support
ETE supports task order responses under existing IDIQ vehicles where AI evaluation, governance, or oversight capability is required.
Have an Active Government Opportunity?
Submit an active solicitation or program requirement.
If an active solicitation, Sources Sought notice, RFI, task order, proposal, or government AI program requires AI evaluation, governance, assurance, risk management, deployment readiness, or continuous oversight, ETE can review the requirement and determine whether our capabilities may complement your team.

Discuss a Teaming OpportunityWhy ETE as a Subcontractor
What makes ETE useful on your team.
Independence from the AI system
ETE maintains independence from the AI systems it evaluates. ETE does not sell or deploy the AI systems it is engaged to independently assess — which is the basis of the oversight value we provide.
Focused on government AI environments
ETE is focused on the governance, evaluation, assurance, and oversight requirements of government, public-sector, and government-contractor AI environments — not generic commercial AI compliance.
Designed to complement, not compete
ETE is designed to complement AI builders, systems integrators, and technology providers. ETE does not sell or deploy the AI systems it is engaged to independently assess — which means we do not compete with the primes and integrators we support.
Lifecycle coverage
ETE covers the full AI governance lifecycle — from procurement due diligence through continuous post-deployment oversight — so a single subcontractor relationship can support multiple program phases.
