The United States Space Force Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) Enterprise is soliciting innovative commercial products, technologies, and services through a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) under solicitation FA2553-25-S-C001. Conducted in accordance with DFARS 212.70, this effort seeks to close capability gaps and provide technological advancements in space test, training, exercises, wargaming, and both physical and synthetic environments. The primary NAICS code for this effort is 541715. The procurement is structured around specific Areas of Interest (AOI), including National Space Test and Training Complex Range Control System Enhancements, Distributed Synthetic Training Environment Evolution and Prototyping, Multirole Satellite Frequency In-field Test Suite, and Continuous Fitness Assessment. The selection process is conducted in three phases: Phase I requires an unclassified PowerPoint briefing and white paper; Phase II consists of a virtual pitch session; and Phase III involves a full technical, statement of work, and price proposal. Awards may take the form of fixed-price contracts or Other Transactions, with prototype solutions required to be delivered and integrated within 18 months of award. Evaluation is based on technical merit, importance to agency programs, and price, utilizing a subject-matter expert peer review process. Strict eligibility and security requirements apply. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management and maintain a current NIST SP 800-171 DoD assessment in the Supplier Performance Risk System. To prevent organizational conflicts of interest, any entity currently providing A&AS, SETA, SE&I, or FFRDC support to OTTI is precluded from submitting. Additionally, solutions must adhere to rigorous cybersecurity standards, including FIPS 140-3 validated encryption and specific NSA guidance for hardware, such as the prohibition of embedded WiFi and LTE in form factor devices. Large business offerors are required to submit a comprehensive small business subcontracting plan during Phase III.
