DHA Enterprise-Wide Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
Solicitation # HT003826SC005
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has established the Enterprise-Wide Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), solicitation number HT003826SC005, to identify and acquire commercial products, services, and non-developmental items. Active from August 7, 2026, through August 6, 2027, this initiative seeks commercially available capabilities that can be deployed immediately or modified to meet DHA requirements across its Medical Digital Solutions, Medical Services, and Medical Products portfolios. The government will utilize a variety of award vehicles, including firm-fixed-price FAR-based contracts and Other Transaction (OT) agreements for research, prototyping, and experimental purposes under authorities such as 10 U.S.C. 3458, 3201, 4021, 4022, and 4023. The procurement process is driven by the issuance of specific Areas of Interest (AoI), which define problem statements, objectives, and submission criteria. Submissions undergo a streamlined, multi-phase evaluation process: Phase I involves a pitch or white paper evaluated on a Go/No-Go basis for strategic alignment and feasibility; Phase II may include an optional oral presentation or demonstration to assess technical viability; and Phase III requires a full commercial proposal evaluated on technical merit, cost reasonableness, and past performance. This CSO is administered by the DHACA Defense Healthcare Management Systems Contracting Division and is designed to prioritize cost-effective, commercially viable solutions to enhance healthcare readiness and patient safety.

Space Environment Technologies and Science (SETS) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
Solicitation # FA9453-23-R-X001
The Space Environment Technologies and Science (SETS) program is a Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory to support research into space and environmental impact technologies. The program aims to quantify how the space environment affects Department of Defense and national security systems, focusing on the ability to predict, mitigate, and exploit these effects. Research is divided into five primary technical areas: Solar, Solar Wind, and Ionospheric Effects; Thermosphere, Satellite Drag, and the Reentry Environment; Plasma Physics and Chemistry; Particle Effects and Radiation Belt Environment; and the Cislunar Environment. The program seeks deliverables ranging from scientific reports and software to hardware prototypes, with an estimated funding profile of 98.5 million dollars spanning fiscal years 2024 through 2031. This is a closed BAA that remains active for eight years, meaning proposals and white papers must be submitted in response to specific individual Calls announced via SAM.gov rather than the baseline announcement. Evaluation is based on scientific and technical merit, relevance to mission needs, and the soundness of the technical approach. Applicants must be registered in the System for Award Management and adhere to strict security and citizenship requirements, including U.S. citizenship for personnel accessing government facilities or networks. The procurement process may involve either a standard proposal path or a white paper process, with specific formatting and page limits for technical and cost volumes. Award decisions are based on a categorization process, with a final determination of price fairness and cost realism conducted by the Contracting Officer.

This is a non-funded opportunity where partners are expected to self-finance their participation, with a preference for exceptional U.S. entrepreneurial entities. Interested parties must submit a Technical Capability Summary Statement (TCSS) limited to six pages, along with a cover sheet and optional past performance appendix. Submissions are evaluated based on existing technical expertise, engineering development capacity, and financial ability. Due to the nature of the work, respondents must demonstrate the ability to handle controlled unclassified information or classified data, providing necessary facility and personnel clearance documentation. The submission deadline is October 15, 2026, at 1600 ET.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued Broad Agency Announcement 70T04026BAA7573ACD to identify and demonstrate innovative air cargo detection, screening, mitigation, and resilience capabilities. The agency is seeking technologies, software, and algorithms that can improve security effectiveness and operational efficiency within TSA-regulated, industry-operated air cargo environments. To be considered, proposed solutions must be standalone and non-network-based due to security restrictions regarding sensitive TSA databases. The primary goal is to generate objective, measurable evidence through demonstrations in controlled or live environments to inform future acquisition strategies and policy decisions. Interested vendors must submit a white paper in one of three formats: a five-page document, a ten-slide deck, or a seven-minute video with a transcript. Submissions must include company information, a technical description, a Rough Order of Magnitude for demonstration costs, and a transition plan. There are three submission windows closing on January 15, 2027, May 15, 2027, and October 29, 2027, with all responses sent to TSA.Innovation@tsa.dhs.gov. TSA will evaluate submissions based on demonstration feasibility, evaluation quality, vendor capability, cost reasonableness, and transition potential. Selected vendors must provide a system for pre-demonstration assessment within 90 days of selection. The final procurement instrument may take the form of a bailment agreement, other transaction agreement, or memorandum of agreement.

ARMY OPEN SOLICITATION (AOS)
Solicitation # W9128Z-25-S-A002
The Army Open Solicitation (AOS), solicitation number W9128Z-25-S-A002, is an indefinite open solicitation issued by the U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) Digital Capability Contracting Center of Excellence. Its primary objective is to support all Army mission areas and maximize Army lethality by rapidly acquiring innovative commercial technologies, research and development solutions, and software acquisition pathway procurements. The AOS leverages a broad range of authorities, including FAR 6.102(d)(2), FAR 35.016 Broad Agency Announcements, and various 10 U.S.C. sections for prototypes and experimental procurements, as well as the Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) process. Interested parties can engage through two primary methods: responding to Active Capability Gaps (ACG) or submitting proposals in response to specific Calls for Solutions. The award process generally follows a multi-phase approach consisting of a Solution Brief, a Live Pitch, and a final Solution Proposal. Evaluation is based on a hierarchy of Technical Merit, Viability, Feasibility and Desirability, and Schedule and Price. All submissions must be unclassified, and the government does not reimburse companies for costs incurred during the initial three phases of the solicitation process. Key administrative requirements include mandatory registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the use of the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) for invoicing. Security requirements mandate that all government data reside within the exclusive legal jurisdiction of the United States. Solution Briefs are strictly limited to five written pages in 12-point font or fifteen briefing slides and must be submitted as a single PDF document. While the overall AOS remains open in perpetuity until canceled, individual Calls for Solutions have specific, limited response windows.
