16th Air Force Commercial Solutions Opening
Solicitation # FA7037-23-S-C0001
The 16th Air Force is utilizing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) under 10 USC 3458 and DFARS 212.70 to acquire innovative commercial items, technologies, and services to close capability gaps and advance USAF mission capabilities. This umbrella solicitation, FA7037-23-S-C0001, allows for the issuance of various specific Calls to address diverse technical needs, including Electromagnetic Warfare, Information Operations, Electromagnetic Digital Communications, and Multi-Domain Innovation. All items and services under this CSO are treated as commercial items, and awards may be issued as traditional contracts—such as Firm Fixed Price, Fixed Price Incentive, or IDIQ—or as Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs). The procurement process typically follows a two-step submission cycle. In Step I, interested offerors submit a one-page Quad Chart and a white paper, generally limited to two pages, detailing their technical approach, goals, and milestones. If invited by the Contracting Officer, offerors proceed to Step II to submit a full technical proposal and a proposed Statement of Work. Evaluation is conducted via peer or scientific review, focusing on technical merit and applicability. Key requirements for offerors include active SAM.gov registration with a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and adherence to specific Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) levels. Previous and current Calls have targeted a wide range of specialized requirements, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling for data centers, AI-enabled Security Operations Centers (AI-ESOC), and the modernization of the Air Force Information Network (AFIN) premise wiring. Some requirements mandate local computational solving on government equipment to ensure data sovereignty. While the overarching solicitation remains open for annual updates, funding is allocated on a per-call basis, and the government maintains no obligation to award contracts until specific funding is available and negotiations are successful.
