About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Red River Army Depot (ACC-RRAD) has issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for the modernization of the Army's Organic Industrial Base (OIB). This special notice, posted on October 9, 2025, seeks innovative commercial technologies and services to advance the Army's manufacturing capabilities through what DEVCOM has termed "Convergent Manufacturing." The initiative focuses on six critical areas: agile and flexible facilities, connected digital enterprise, advanced manufacturing, Digital Twin technology, automation, and cybersecurity. The solicitation is authorized under DFARS Subpart 212-70 and utilizes FAR Part 12 Commercial Item Procedures to streamline the acquisition process. Both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors are eligible to participate in this competitive procurement opportunity.
The primary objective of this CSO is to accelerate the delivery of advanced solutions to warfighters while enhancing and optimizing the Defense Manufacturing Base for current and future missions. The solicitation remains open until September 30, 2026, providing contractors with an extended timeframe to submit proposals. The procurement process consists of three potential phases: submission of solution briefs, presentations or pitches, and full commercial solution proposals. Eleven continuous Areas of Interest have been identified, including workforce development, advanced analytics, automation, inventory processes, and energy and chemical solutions. Contractors will compete for fixed-price contracts, and the streamlined CSO procedures are designed to simplify contract terms while maintaining competitive selection based on review by scientific, technological, and subject matter experts.
Notice text
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.
