I. OVERVIEW

The 16th Air Force is offering a CSO authorized by 10 USC 3458 and R-DFARS 212.70 Defense Commercial Solutions Opening. Under a CSO, the USAF may competitively award contracts to proposals received in response to a general solicitation, similar to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), 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 USAF. Under this CSO, all items, technologies, and services shall be treated as commercial items. The USAF 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 by the USAF, that would enhance or streamline USAF 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 is a CSO with Calls. This solicitation is not requesting any white papers or proposals at this time. Further, unsolicited proposals will not be accepted. Funding is not available at this time. It is the responsibility of the potential responders to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this CSO and for posting of the Open Call Periods. This CSO is the overarching umbrella solicitation from which Calls will be issued by AMIC Det 2. This CSO allows for Calls to be posted indefinitely with an annual update, until terminated. This CSO can result in the award of Contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) as codified in 10 U.S.C. §2371b (section 2371b). The Government further reserves the right to award all, part, or none of the proposals received. All Calls issued under this CSO will include specific instructions including dates and times for submission, Topic Area, evaluation criteria and proposal instructions for potential offerors. While each offeror shall adhere to this CSO, the Calls may
