Hey Doug, R is not a product that is provided by a company or any vendor that can be procured through a vendor e.g. something on a GSA schedule. Seems like you're caught in the bureaucracy hell hole. I used to help the USAF, and other DoD members use R when I was at RStudio (now Posit). I recommend you find someone in your organization who is doing Data Science. They'll likely have charted a path and you can follow in their footsteps. For example https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-couse/. Jeremy Allen has since taken over my role at Posit since I've left. I'm sure he knows a plethora of people in the USAF who are using R and can help you out. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-allen-data/ On Thu, May 16, 2024 at 2:57?PM ADAMS, DOUGLAS L CIV USAF AFMC OO-ALC/OBWA via R-devel <r-devel at r-project.org> wrote:> Hello, > > > > The US Air Force used to have R available on our main network, but now > those who need to accept it back are > being very particular about what they're accepting in terms of official > documentation. > > > > Would you be able to help me with this endeavor?

[Rd] [Non-DoD Source] Re: R for the US Air Force
You described it well; I?m afraid that?s what it is. They want documents of an organization that doesn?t fit the description, and only then will they test it. That sounds great. I?ll reach out to Jeremy and see if he can help me get the IDs the USAF wants. It sounds like Joshua predates my time here. That?s a really good idea. Thanks very much!
