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!
Doug

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.

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? I'm attaching a pdf that
shows what documentation they'd
require for us to re-establish R as being acceptable on the network here. I
understand if you're too busy or
if it's a pain. Haha
Thank you so much for your help and consideration!
