"Trusted Intermediary" Hosting and Ownership
For the "Secure Collaborative Data Frameworks" and "Trusted Intermediary" systems, does OST expect the proposing small business to serve as and host the trusted intermediary in Phase II and beyond, or should the architecture be designed to be handed off to a government agency or independent third party?

The Government cannot provide specific guidance on proposal strategy. It will be the offeror's responsibility to propose the solution that best meets requirements within the forthcoming solicitation.

This is important for Phase I architecture and commercialization planning. A Trusted Intermediary model may be designed so that the proposing small business operates the platform, or so that the architecture can support deployment by an independent third party, public agency, consortium, or commercial partner. It would be helpful to know whether 26-OS1 expects a specific institutional owner/operator model, or whether Phase I may focus on technical trust guarantees, privacy controls, governance, auditability, and interoperability regardless of who ultimately hosts the system.
