About this opportunity

The United States Air Force Academy announced a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) with calls framework on May 30, 2025, seeking innovative commercial technologies and services across leadership, academics, fitness, and professionalism areas through May 29, 2030. The government does not solicit proposals under the initial umbrella issuance; instead, it will issue periodic calls for proposals as amendments when USAFA identifies specific requirements. All acquisitions will be treated as commercial items under FAR Part 12, or potentially as Other Transactions, with awards based on technical merit, importance to agency programs, and funds availability. The government reserves the right to fund all, some, or none of proposals submitted and may proceed through two or three evaluation phases.

Current and upcoming call periods include Call 001 (July 23–August 4, 2025) for admissions outreach services and technology to increase cadet applicants; Call 002 (September 4–15, 2025) for passive and AI-enabled exoskeleton technology enhancing warfighter lethality; Call 003 (February 26–March 16, 2026) for autonomous virtual perimeter monitoring; Call 004 (April 6–20, 2026) for warfighter training support services; Call 005 (April 20–May 6, 2026) for AI-powered transcript processing and scoring capability, restricted to U.S. Persons and U.S.-based development; and Call 006 (May 27–June 18, 2026, amended) for brand analysis and strategic brand roadmap development with a $65,000 budget cap. All Phase I submissions require Quad Charts and Solution Briefs submitted to 10CONS.PKB.CSO@us.af.mil and specified USAFA points of contact by the designated deadline for each call.
