About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command – Red River Army Depot (ACC-RRAD) has issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for Organic Industrial Base (OIB) Modernization, utilizing procurement authority under DFARS Subpart 212-70. This special notice represents a continuous, competitive solicitation process that remains open until September 30, 2026, seeking innovative commercial items, technologies, and services to modernize the Army's manufacturing capabilities. The CSO focuses on "Convergent Manufacturing" technologies developed by DEVCOM, which encompasses agile facilities, connected digital enterprise, advanced manufacturing, Digital Twin capabilities, automation, and cybersecurity. Both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors are eligible to participate in this streamlined acquisition process that results in FAR Part 12 Commercial Item contracts. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal is the issuing agency, with multiple specific Areas of Interest (AoIs) being released periodically under this umbrella solicitation.
The primary objective of this CSO is to accelerate the Army's ability to deliver advanced manufacturing solutions to warfighters while optimizing the Defense Manufacturing Base for current and future missions. The solicitation operates through a multi-phase competitive process, beginning with solution briefs and potentially progressing through presentations and full commercial solution proposals evaluated by subject matter experts. Contractors must maintain registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and possess a Unique Entity ID to participate. Eleven continuous Areas of Interest have been identified, including workforce development, advanced analytics, automation, inventory processes, and energy technologies, with specific targeted solicitations released for equipment such as road wheel drum testers, diesel fuel injector pump test equipment, DC tooling, and small unmanned aircraft systems manufacturing. The government reserves the right to award fixed-price contracts to all, some, or none of the submitted solutions based on technical merit, innovation, and funding availability.

The U.S. Army recognizes that investments in producibility and advanced manufacturing will need to continue to be made to support a vast array of crucial activities, including but not limited to acquisition, sustainment, logistics, and ultimately the Army’s Modernization of its Organic Industrial base (OIB). In order to deliver impactful operational results, the US Army must modernize the OIB, particularly in the areas of Agile / flexible facilities, connected digital enterprise, advanced manufacturing, Digital Twin, automation, and cyber security. DEVCOM has coined these technologies collectively as Convergent Manufacturing.
With the focus on both “new capabilities” and “operational constructs” convergent manufacturing technologies will accelerate the OIB’s capability to get advanced solutions to the Warfighter while enhancing and optimizing the Defense Manufacturing Base for today and tomorrow’s missions.
This CSO will utilize a solicitation process authorized by DFARS Subpart 212-70. Under this CSO, the DoD will be allowed to competitively procure innovative commercial items, technologies, and services. CSO procedures provide a streamlined acquisition process and simplified contract terms resulting in FAR-based contracts awarded under Part 12 Commercial Item Procedures. Both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors may be awarded contracts under this CSO. Under a CSO DoD contracting officers may competitively select proposals received in response to a general competitive solicitation, similar to a broad agency announcement, based on a review of proposals by scientific, technological, or other subject matter experts.
