AFRL Enterprise CSO: Centralized Open Spiral
Solicitation # FA865226SC005
This solicitation, identified as FA865226SC005, was a Centralized Open Two-Step Spiral under the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Enterprise Commercial Solutions Opening, limited exclusively to Foundational Technologies (AFRL/RE). Offerors were required to submit a Commercial Solutions Brief (CSB) by 5:00 PM Eastern time on April 30, 2027, via the designated mailbox, with submissions containing Controlled Unclassified Information required to be transmitted through the Department of Defense Secure File Access Exchange. Only CSBs categorized as Selectable would be invited to proceed to Step Two, where a full Commercial Solutions Proposal would be requested; any direct submission of a proposal without a prior CSB rendered the offeror ineligible. All proposals had to align with the Areas of Interest detailed in Attachment 1 of the parent AFRL Enterprise CSO Announcement (FA865226SC003), which must be consulted separately on SAM.gov to access full requirements and submission templates. The government retained full discretion to award one or more contracts or Other Transactions for Prototype, with funding contingent on availability and the potential for incremental or partial funding of proposals. Effective June 4, 2026, this specific spiral was officially cancelled, and future open and closed spirals will be issued in a decentralized manner by respective mission organizations, rendering this solicitation inactive. The procurement structure prohibited circumvention of decentralized spirals, and submissions deemed duplicative or submitted in lieu of a decentralized submission would be rejected. The contracting office was located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, with primary point of contact Amber Taylor reachable via AFRL.CSO.Mailbox@us.af.mil. While pricing, delivery schedules, and full evaluation weightings were not defined at this early stage, offerors were informed that detailed performance requirements and award criteria would be specified only in subsequent Step-Two requests, and all awards remained subject to appropriation and funding availability. No contract value was estimated, and all submissions were subject to strict compliance with the procedural and security protocols mandated by the parent CSO framework.
