CSO - USTRANSCOM Information Technology (IT) Enterprise Modernization (ITEM) Solutions

The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) has issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) seeking innovative Information Technology (IT) Enterprise Modernization (ITEM) Solutions to support its global integrated mobility operations. USTRANSCOM requires IT systems and technologies that meet stringent DoD security standards and is looking for technical and business solutions across various Areas of Interest (AoIs) that will be posted individually. The solicitation follows a three-phase submission process beginning with PowerPoint briefings and white papers in Phase I, optional pitch sessions in Phase II, and full technical proposals with Statements of Work and pricing in Phase III. Evaluation criteria include innovation, responsiveness, potential impact, technical merit, and price reasonableness across all phases. Offerors must be prepared to handle classified information up to the SECRET level, and the CSO will remain open indefinitely with a due date extending to August 4, 2030.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. The document does not identify any current incumbents or potential contractors for this modernization effort. The government anticipates awarding firm fixed-price contracts and/or Other Transactions (OTs) for prototype projects, with potential follow-on production contracts, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The CSO is structured to span a five-year project timeline, with the template requiring annual cost projections and rough order of magnitude costs from proposers. Individual AoIs will be posted as they become available, allowing for multiple contract awards addressing different IT program requirements or solutions within USTRANSCOM's enterprise modernization initiative.
