AI Contract Overview
This solicitation is a two-step call under the DSO CSO (FA8730-22-S-C001) targeting the integration of Team Awareness Kit (TAK) technology with the government-owned C2IMERA command and control platform, aimed at enhancing situational awareness and emergency response capabilities on military installations—particularly in degraded or denied network environments. The effort seeks solutions that leverage existing open-source or commercially available TAK plugins to enable standardized reporting of base conditions, battle damage, and operational data directly into C2IMERA’s limited writable endpoints, ensuring a unified common operating picture for commanders at the Wing and Base level. Proposals must demonstrate prior experience in developing TAK plugins, as this is a mandatory pass/fail criterion. The anticipated contract instrument is an Other Transaction (OT) agreement under 10 U.S.C. § 4022 for prototype development, with a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) structure anticipated, and the period of performance is set for six months from September 1, 2026, to January 31, 2027. Submission is governed by a strict two-phase process: Step 1 requires a solution brief in the form of a five-page white paper or ten-slide pitch deck, evaluated on technical relevancy, alignment with the area of interest, schedule feasibility, and price reasonableness; only those rated favorably will be invited to submit a full proposal in Step 2, which includes a detailed technical approach, price proposal, and commercial contract terms and conditions unique to the offeror. All submissions must be unclassified, and offerors must be registered in SAM with a valid UEI and CAGE code, along with completing a Certificate of OTA Eligibility and thirty-one pages of required representations and certifications, which do not count toward page limits. Offerors may only submit one proposal per AOI, and late submissions will be rejected in accordance with standard RFO provisions. The contract is not set aside and is open to all qualified entities, with award decisions based solely on individual merit rather than ranking.

The Area of Interest (AOI) description:
C2IMERA Program Overview: C2IMERA (Command and Control Incident Management Emergency Response Application) is a government-owned command and control platform used at the Wing and Base level to manage readiness, operations, and emergency response activities. It serves as the authoritative system where operators enter, validate, and assess real-world readiness and Friendly Order of Battle (FrOB) data, providing commanders with a live common operating picture of installation resources and operational status.
Modern peer conflict will not occur in a pristine, high-bandwidth environment. Commanders require a continuous flow of information from the tactical edge to make informed decisions, but operators at that edge often lack the tools to effectively collect and transmit this data, especially when primary networks are degraded or denied. There is a requirement to:
- Report standardized base conditions and battle damage from anywhere on an installation.
- Maintain local C2 and situational awareness even when disconnected from the enterprise.
- Feed a common operational picture that is consumable by all users.
TAK technology was led by Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). AFRL vendors and partners are specialized firms responsible for developing, maintaining, and integrating this suite.
This technology would be leveraging potentially pre-existing TAK plugins that are either open source or commercially available. Each need revolves around a single technical objective: integrating TAK with C2IMERA. Only specific C2IMERA endpoints are currently writable and available for integration under this effort, and proposed solutions must operate within this constraint. Applicants must have prior experience developing TAK plugins and be able to briefly describe this experience in their submission. The deliverables are all variations of the same architecture pattern, just applied to different use cases like Blue Force Tracking, Incident Reporting, Sensor/Video, etc.
