Patrick Air Force Base (AFB), near Cocoa Beach, FL, is conducting a commercial solutions opening (CSO) authorized by section 879 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 (Pub. L. 114-328). Under a CSO, the 45th Space Wing may competitively award proposals received in response to a general solicitation, similar to a broad agency announcement, to acquire innovative commercial items, technologies, and services, based on a review of proposals by scientific, technological, or other subject-matter expert peers within the Wing. Under this CSO, all items, technologies, and services shall be treated as commercial items.

The 45th Space Wing intends to obtain "innovative" solutions or potential new capabilities that fulfill requirements, close capability gaps, or provide potential technology advancements. Solutions may include existing technologies or procedures, not currently in use, that would enhance or streamline our mission capabilities. "Innovative" is defined as any technology, process or method that is new as of the date of submission of a proposal. It also includes any new application of an existing technology, process, or method.

This CSO contains broadly defined areas of interest and interest in more specific requirements. While these areas of interest are geared towards meeting Patrick AFB requirements, the Government reserves the right to award contracts from this CSO to meet Space Force requirements outside of Patrick AFB with similar areas of interest and mission requirements.
