AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), through its Special Operations Forces Combat Diving (SOF CD) Program, is issuing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) call, designated as CSO003, to identify and accelerate the development of innovative commercial technologies that enhance the capabilities of combat divers in denied or contested maritime environments. The solicitation, titled SOF AT&L Innovative Technology and Agile Acquisition Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) CALL CSO003 PEO Maritime, is open to all interested parties with no set-aside restrictions and is governed under the DFARS 212.70 framework for CSOs, with awards potentially structured as Firm Fixed-Price contracts or Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements authorized by 10 U.S.C. §§ 4021, 4022, and 4023. OTA agreements may lead to noncompetitive follow-on production awards under 10 U.S.C. 4022(f). Proposals must be submitted as unclassified White Papers that focus on mature commercial technologies or Nondevelopmental Items (NDI) adaptable for prototyping within a SOF operational setting, covering key functional areas including propulsion, navigation, communications, life support, maritime environmental protection, and signature management. Offerors are required to demonstrate technical feasibility, innovation, and commercial viability through clearly articulated solutions supported by diagrams or figures, and must include a Rough Order of Magnitude price and notional schedule for potential prototyping. The evaluation is equally weighted across three critical factors: technical merit and innovation, relevance and impact on the SOF CD mission, and affordability with consideration for cost reasonableness, due diligence, foreign ownership control analysis, and Trade Agreements Act compliance. All submissions must be emailed to the designated point of contact by June 2, 2026, and must comply with requirements for detailed Bill of Materials, Safety Data Sheets, and material lot/batch information. Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov and Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) to receive payment, and non-Government evaluators will be bound by non-disclosure agreements. Cybersecurity requirements mandate an Authority to Operate for any software, firmware, or IT components, though purely mechanical systems are exempt. The period of performance for any awarded effort must not exceed 18 months, with performance centered in Tampa, Florida. Companies bear all costs associated with proposal preparation, and submissions will not be returned. Foreign-owned businesses may participate directly or through
