The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC) has established the Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution and Delivery (SPEED) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) under solicitation FA8903-26-S-C001. This full and open, blanket solicitation runs from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2030, and is designed to competitively procure innovative commercial items, technologies, and services. The program utilizes a streamlined acquisition process authorized by DFARS Subpart 212.70, allowing for awards via FAR Part 12 Commercial Item Procedures or Other Transaction (OT) agreements under 10 USC 4022. It is open to both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, including small businesses. The CSO operates through a multi-stage Spiral submission process triggered by specific Area of Interest (AoI) calls. These calls address a wide range of capabilities, including AI-driven facility space planning, RF spectrum monitoring, resilient expeditionary facility prototypes, and the modernization of Civil Engineer IT systems and housing management. Initial Spiral 1 submissions typically require a five-minute solution video or a concise written brief. Proposals are evaluated based on technical approach, performance schedule, and price fairness. Successful solutions may progress through prototyping and demonstration phases, with individual awards featuring specific periods of performance and security requirements, such as Tier 1 or Tier 3 clearances for classified work.
