Insights

The DoD Tradewinds "Awardable" status represents a significant milestone for D-Wave's commercial prospects. This designation effectively pre-qualifies D-Wave as a vetted vendor, streamlining future procurement processes with various DoD agencies. The marketplace inclusion is particularly valuable as it positions D-Wave alongside established AI/ML solutions providers, potentially accelerating adoption of quantum computing in defense applications.

While this designation doesn't guarantee immediate revenue, it removes significant barriers to securing government contracts. The defense sector represents a $842 billion market (FY2024 budget), with increasing allocations for emerging technologies. D-Wave's focus on practical applications like logistics and supply chain optimization aligns well with DoD's operational needs, suggesting strong potential for contract wins.

Designation simplifies a procurement path for DoD customers to access powerful annealing quantum computing technologies and solutions to assist with achieving mission objectives

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE:QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today announced it has achieved “Awardable” status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.

The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is the premier offering of the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) suite of tools and services for accelerating the procurement and adoption of emerging technologies. The marketplace will now include D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing technology alongside other offerings like Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), data, and analytics capabilities.

“It is an honor to be included in the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace for our innovative technology and potential ability to help DoD solve complex real-world challenges,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “The 'Awardable' status on the marketplace signifies that our technology meets the high standards required to sell to the US government. D-Wave has a long history of developing quantum applications to address national security problems, and we look forward to working with US defense operations to help them achieve mission objectives.”

D-Wave works with businesses, research institutions and government agencies to provide quantum optimization for public and private sector areas, including logistics and manufacturing, staff scheduling, new drug discovery, sustainability, materials simulation, and more.

“D-Wave is unique in that we are the only company that has a real-time cloud accessible quantum computer and quantum optimization applications in production today,” said Lorenzo Martinelli, CRO of D-Wave. “These critical technological achievements in quantum computing can move the Department of Defense beyond research to using technology that could help provide solutions today to challenges facing DoD and its service branches.”

To become designated as “Awardable” on the Tradewinds marketplace, D-Wave worked with Clipper Defense and submitted a video, accessible only to government customers, that presents actual use cases in which companies developed quantum optimization applications including supply chain optimization and transportation logistics. Our video outlines other potential optimization problems facing DoD.
