About this opportunity
The 16th Air Force is conducting an indefinite Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) under solicitation FA7037-23-S-C0001 to acquire innovative commercial items, technologies, and services across 19 topic areas, with specific Calls issued periodically and no funding currently available; the umbrella solicitation remains open through September 30, 2027, with offerors required to respond only to posted individual Calls rather than submit unsolicited proposals.
The CSO operates under authorization of 10 USC 3458 and DFARS 212.70, treating all proposed items, technologies, and services as commercial items. The Air Force defines "innovative" as any technology, process, or method that is new as of proposal submission, including novel applications of existing technologies not currently in use by the USAF that would enhance or streamline mission capabilities.
The 19 topic areas span Electromagnetic Warfare (001), Information Operations (002), Electromagnetic Digital Communications (003), Multi-Domain Innovation (004), Weather and Climate Resources (005), Intelligence/Surveillance/Reconnaissance (006), Department of the Air Force Information Network (007), Geophysics and Seismology (008), Air and Space (009), Directed Energy Weapons (010), Nuclear and Nuclear-Related Materials Analysis (011), Materials Modeling and Analysis (012), Enterprise Wide Integration and Architecture Modernization (013), Enterprise Asset and Lifecycle Management (014), High Performance and Secure Cloud Computing/DevOps Solutions (015), Defense Cyberspace Operations (016), Artificial Intelligence (017), Common Tactical Picture (018), and Battle Management and Command and Control of Non-Kinetic Effects (019).
Each Call employs a two-step evaluation process: Step One requires submission of white papers and quad-charts evaluated on technical merit, importance to 16th Air Force mission, and fund availability through peer or scientific review; selected offerors advance to Step Two to submit full technical and price proposals. All offerors must register in SAM.gov, demonstrate responsibility per RFO 9.1, maintain satisfactory performance records, and comply with federal law and applicable Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements. Awards may be structured as Firm Fixed Price, Fixed Price Incentive, or Other Transaction Agreements under 10 U.S.C. 2371b, with the Government reserving the right to fund all, some, or none of proposals submitted, subject to fund availability and successful negotiation.
