The Secretary of the Air Force Concepts Development and Management (SAF/CDM) has established a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), identified as FA7146-21-S-C001, to acquire innovative commercial items, technologies, and services. This streamlined acquisition mechanism follows a two-step process where interested vendors first submit a white paper including a rough order of magnitude price, and selected participants are subsequently invited to submit full technical and price proposals. The CSO is open for white paper submissions until September 1, 2026, with an ordering period extending to September 30, 2026. Awards may be made via fixed-price commercial contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTA), and are open to all interested vendors, including small businesses and non-traditional contractors. The primary objectives focus on concept development in areas such as countering malign influence, big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and emerging cyber technologies. A specific call, Call A002, targets Agile Refactoring and Integration (AR&I) to modernize a fragmented HR technology portfolio consisting of 118 disparate applications and 84 legacy systems, though Phase 2 of this call is currently on hold. Evaluation is based on technical breakthrough promise, importance to agency programs, funds availability, and price reasonableness, with proposals categorized as either selectable or not selectable. Security requirements are stringent, requiring compliance with DoW IL5+ standards and scalability to IL6 for certain components.
