MetaPhase SBIR Innovation GIIF Assessed Awardable in the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace
RESTON, VA - October 12, 2026 - MetaPhase today announced that GIIF™, the Generalized Intelligent Interface Framework, has been assessed as “Awardable” through the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace SBIR/STTR Aisle. GIIF originated as a U.S. Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I effort under Topic AF98-124 and is eligible for Phase III awards.
“Federal agencies need faster, more flexible ways to put proven innovation to work,” said Fred Costa, Chief Executive Officer of MetaPhase. “Adding GIIF to Tradewinds gives customers another practical way to move from a mission need to an operational capability.”
The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace accelerates the procurement and adoption of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data, and analytics capabilities. GIIF brings adaptive, AI-enabled assistance into existing applications and workflows through recommendations, query assistance, in-context guidance, workflow automation, and interface adaptation while keeping users in control.
“GIIF makes complex systems easier to use by reducing repetitive work while keeping people in control,” said Brian Funk, Chief Technology Officer of MetaPhase. “Tradewinds gives agencies a direct way to put that SBIR innovation to work.”
MetaPhase brings its SBIR Phase III and Tradewinds options together under MetaPhase Acquisition Pathways (MAPs), giving federal agencies multiple ways to acquire and apply GIIF-derived capabilities. MetaPhase’s Tradewinds video demonstrates GIIF’s approach to adaptive assistance and user-controlled automation. Government customers can view the video under listing 3-26-1935 by creating a Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace account at www.tradewindai.com.
