Rocket.Chat assessed ‘Awardable’ in DoD’s Platform One Marketplace

We’ve been officially designated as ‘Awardable’ in the Platform One (P1) Solutions Marketplace, which is the DoD’s flagship DevSecOps ecosystem.

This signals something bigger than a badge. It’s formal recognition that Rocket.Chat has cleared the toughest security, compliance, and readiness standards required for DoD acquisition.

Programs can now procure Rocket.Chat quickly, securely with less red tape and more confidence.

About the P1 Solutions Marketplace

The Solutions Marketplace inside P1 is how program teams find, vet, and buy tech that’s already cleared the bar.

The P1 Solutions Marketplace isn’t just another vendor list. It’s a curated, mission-ready catalog built for speed-to-field.

Every product goes through a rigorous technical assessment to be considered ‘Awardable’.

Our approval on Platform One validates what we’ve known for years: mission-critical programs need comms tools that aren’t just compliant, but built to adapt, scale, and stay secure in high-stakes situations.

What ‘Awardable’ means

It’s a pass through one of the most demanding technical assessments in the Department of Defense.

To be marked ‘Awardable’ in this marketplace, Rocket.Chat:

Has passed a rigorous technical evaluation
Meets DoD’s strict cybersecurity, compliance and readiness requirements
Is deemed eligible for direct award and rapid acquisition
Can now be integrated by DoD programs without months of procurement friction
Proves it can operate inside DoD environments at mission scale

In short, we’re now easier to work with and built for the operational realities of the mission.

This means DoD program offices, federal system integrators, and mission partners can adopt Rocket.Chat without waiting on lengthy compliance reviews or starting from scratch.

Assessed ‘Awardable’ in the CDAO Tradewinds Marketplace

Alongside Platform One, Rocket.Chat has also been designated ‘Awardable’ in the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, an initiative led by the Chief Digital and AI Office (CDAO) to accelerate the adoption of AI, data, and emerging technologies across the Department.

Our presence in both marketplaces sends a clear signal: Rocket.Chat is purpose-built for mission-critical operations.

What this means for FSIs, Partners, and Program Leads

Whether you're building a proposal, supporting a deployed mission set, or modernizing a legacy system, Rocket.Chat’s new status means you can:

Reference an approved, awardable vendor already inside DoD frameworks, without additional justification
Shorten acquisition cycles and reduce compliance lift with pre-cleared procurement paths
Bring in a platform that flexes with the needs of each mission set

We’re mission-ready!

We’re proud to support the U.S. defense community and honored to earn the trust of the DoD.

Being ‘Awardable’ in both Platform One and Tradewinds is a step forward. If your mission needs secure, sovereign, resilient comms, Rocket.Chat is already in your ecosystem.

The hard part is done. Rocket.Chat has cleared the assessment gates. Now it’s time to put that capability to work.
