Commercial Solutions Opening for Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2)
Solicitation # FA8612-21-S-C001
The Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), solicitation FA8612-21-S-C001, is a streamlined acquisition framework managed by the Air Force Architecture and Integration Directorate (AFLCMC/XA). Its primary objective is to leverage innovative commercial and defense technologies to reduce kill chain and Observe, Orient, Decide and Act (OODA) timelines by ensuring the right information reaches the right decision maker efficiently. The CSO serves as an umbrella solicitation that does not accept direct proposals but instead issues specific Calls for various Areas of Interest (AoIs). These Calls focus on several Technology Focus Areas, including digital architecture, sensor integration, data management, secure processing, connectivity, applications, and effects integration. The acquisition process is highly flexible, utilizing a hybrid approach of Closed Calls (one-step or two-step) and Open Period Calls. Most efforts follow a two-step process where white papers are first evaluated as Selectable or Not Selectable based on technical merit, innovation, and price reasonableness; only selected offerors then receive a Request for Proposal (RFP). Depending on the specific Call, the government may award FAR Part 12 contracts, procurements for experimental purposes under 10 U.S.C. 4023, or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) under 10 U.S.C. 4021. All resulting agreements are fixed-price and may include provisions for follow-on production contracts. Recent activities under this CSO include Call 001 for DevSecOps and multi-level security networks, Call 002 for virtualized SD-WAN solutions, and Call 003 for Software Programmable Open Mission Systems Compliant Multi-Function Processors. The program emphasizes open architecture standards, such as SOSA, and requires proposed technologies to generally meet a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of three or higher. The solicitation is open to traditional and nontraditional defense contractors, small businesses, and research institutions, provided they meet necessary security clearances and registration requirements in SAM and SPRS.
