Stryker Family of Vehicles Commercial Solutions Opening

Solicitation # W912CH-26-S-0010

The Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) under solicitation W912CH-26-S-0010, issued by the Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal for the Program Manager Stryker Brigade Combat Team, is designed to accelerate the acquisition of innovative commercial technologies to modernize the Stryker Family of Vehicles. This CSO remains open until May 7, 2031, but companies cannot submit proposals directly in response to this announcement; instead, they must monitor SAM.gov for individual Areas of Interest (AoIs), which serve as the only authorized portals for proposal submissions. Each AoI will define specific needs, deadlines, and delivery requirements, with proposals evaluated under a streamlined, multi-phase process: submission of a Solution Brief, optional presentation or pitch, and finally, a full Commercial Solution Proposal. Proposals must be submitted in two separate volumes—Technical and Price—with the Technical Volume capped at 20 pages and the Solution Brief limited to either five pages or fifteen slides. All submissions must be unclassified, in Word or PDF format, and submitted exclusively through the active AoI posting on SAM.gov. Awards under this CSO may take the form of FAR Part 12 Fixed-Price contracts or Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements under 10 U.S.C. 4022, with no reimbursement for proposal development costs. The evaluation is non-LPTA and based on a trade-off approach considering eight factors in descending order of importance: solution relevance, technical merit, innovation level, technical risk, cost risk, schedule risk, company viability, and intellectual property/data rights risk. Offerors must have a valid Unique Entity ID and be registered in SAM.gov, and must submit a Warranties and Representations form to establish eligibility. While no socioeconomic certifications are required, foreign-owned entities must be able to obtain necessary security clearances to access prescribed information. Payment will be processed through WAWF, and the contracting officer contacts are Marta Furman and Taylor Ferguson. The Government may negotiate follow-on production contracts without competition after successful prototype development, and no formal contract value or line-item pricing is specified in this solicitation, as pricing and scope are defined per AoI. The place of performance and delivery terms vary by AoI, with Michigan's Detroit Arsenal area serving as the contracting office location.
