About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Red River Army Depot (ACC-RRAD) issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for Organic Industrial Base (OIB) Modernization on October 5, 2026, continuously open until September 30, 2027, to competitively procure innovative commercial items, technologies, and services supporting Army modernization priorities. Both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, including small businesses, are eligible. The CSO utilizes DFARS Subpart 212.70 procedures and awards FAR Part 12 commercial item contracts with fixed-price terms and negotiable payment arrangements.
The solicitation targets ten continuously open Areas of Interest spanning agile and flexible facilities, advanced manufacturing, paint and tire processes, automation, advanced analytics, workforce development, inventory management, and energy and chemical optimization. Red River Army Depot has posted three specific Areas of Interest with near-term deadlines: micro truck procurement (AoI W911RQ-27-S-C001-A001, deadline October 19, 2026), parts washer lease and maintenance services (AoI W911RQ-27-S-C001-A002, deadline November 5, 2026), and fire suppression repair solutions (AoI W911RQ-27-S-C001-A003).
Evaluation proceeds in three phases: Phase 1 solution briefs (up to 5 pages or 15 slides, no government cost reimbursement), Phase 2 presentations (if applicable), and Phase 3 commercial proposals. Criteria emphasize responsiveness to the AoI, technical merit, innovation, feasibility, and funding availability. Proposals are evaluated individually on merit rather than comparatively. Offerors must register in SAM and maintain active Unique Entity ID status. Inquiries contact usarmy.rrad.acc.mbx.cso@army.mil; CSO Point of Contact is Jake Horn.
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 1 Oct 05, 2026 02:31:44 PM GMT 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.
