I have no specific info but I certainly wouldn't go to a UARC.
Why?
Because they either get caught up Palantir's war on orgs that compete with industry for software development or the general anti- any contract that ends in a report sentiment.

No, that disclosure is not anti-competitive or otherwise improper…
Incorrect. It’s disclosing internal deliberations about performer assessments on a public forum.
It said nothing about performance assessment. There are many non-performance reasons that might drive a change in the structure.

Same with RAND. Lot of anxiety.
It was awarded last in 2022. It's a five year contract. What am I missing? Yes, they could end it anyway early, but it doesn't look up for renewal.
Agree and there probably is another 5-yr option that could be exercised without a rebid.

Is Mitre losing their FFRDC? That’s the only one who operates one for DHS…
Not true.
What’s not true?
HSSEDI is slated for a re-compete. DHS has another FFRDC with somebody that isn't Mitre (is it Anser?)
They have one with RAND and one with Batelle.
RAND's FFRDC w/ DHS is up for renewal soon
MITRE 's is up now. (And this is public and I'm not a contracting official.)
True for the DHS FFRDC that Mitre has, but (as PPs have noted above) Mitre has many different FFRDcs and most are not up for renewal just now.
