Federal Use

For U.S. government agencies, military commands, national laboratories, and federal contractors.

Who this is for

  • U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories (LANL, LLNL, ORNL, ANL, PNNL, SLAC, BNL, NREL, INL, SNL, FNAL, Berkeley Lab, et al.)
  • U.S. Department of Defense (active duty, reserve, DoD civilian, contractor)
  • Federal civilian agencies (NIH, NASA, NOAA, DHS, DOC, et al.)
  • FFRDCs and federally-funded contractors with prime/sub contracts
  • State and local government (separately quoted)

Compliance posture

AiDotNet Enterprise builds for federal customers address the following frameworks:

Framework Coverage
NIST SP 800-218 SSDFSBOM, signed packages, provenance attestations, dependency-lock workflow
NIST AI RMFModel cards, risk registers, evaluation harness, intended-use docs (per model)
FIPS 140-3All cryptographic operations route through the validated OpenSSL FIPS provider on .NET 8+ Linux
FedRAMP-aligned controlsAudit logs, access controls, data residency (when deployed within agency boundary)
CMMC 2.0 Level 2Identification, authentication, audit, configuration management evidence
CUI handlingNo data leaves the customer environment; no telemetry; no license server callout

Air-gapped deployment

Federal customers regularly deploy in air-gapped environments where any outbound HTTP capability is a procurement-blocking concern. AiDotNet Enterprise custom builds address this:

  • Telemetry compiled out. Standard NuGet packages default telemetry to OFF but the code still exists in the binary. Enterprise custom builds set DISABLE_TELEMETRY so the entire telemetry namespace is physically absent — verifiable by binary inspection.
  • License validation is offline. Signed license file (ed25519) validated entirely in-process. No license server, no online activation, no phone-home.
  • Native dependencies are bundled and offline-installable. OpenBLAS / MKL native binaries ship within the NuGet package; no runtime download.
  • Model weights stay in customer environment. Pre-trained models are loaded from local files; AiDotNet does not callout to model registries unless explicitly configured.

Licensing

AiDotNet is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1. Federal customers require an Enterprise license for production use. The Enterprise tier includes the custom-build capabilities, FIPS-compatible crypto, NIST SSDF artifacts, and dedicated support described above.

For procurement, AiDotNet supports the following purchase mechanisms:

  • GSA Schedule (via reseller — contact us for current schedule holders)
  • SBIR / STTR Phase III
  • OTAs (Other Transaction Authority)
  • Direct purchase via contract vehicle of your choice

Ooples is a small-business contractor (single-person LLC). We're set up for direct engagement with agency contracting officers; we do not currently have a CAGE code or DUNS but are working through registration on request.

Audit trail

For agencies performing third-party software security assessments, the following artifacts are available on request:

  • Full source code (BSL terms apply for redistribution)
  • SBOM (CycloneDX 1.5) and CycloneDX VEX
  • Static analysis reports (CodeQL, Sonar, Codacy)
  • Dependency vulnerability scan history (Dependabot, Trivy)
  • SLSA Level 3 build provenance attestations
  • External evaluation reports (most recent: 2026-05 static audit, available under NDA)
