I. OVERVIEW

ACC/A2, in sync with the mission of the AF IC is offering a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) authorized by 10 USC 3458 and R-DFARS 212.70. Under a CSO, the Government may competitively award contracts to proposals received in response to a general solicitation, similar to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), to acquire commercial items, technologies, and services, based upon a review of proposals by scientific, technological, or other subject-matter experts 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. To maintain a strategic advantage in an era of peer competition, the Government, in sync with the mission of the AF IC is executing a decisive pivot to a data-centric, software-defined, and Super Intelligence (SI)-enabled enterprise. As warfare evolves into a complex, all-domain battlespace, our ability to achieve Decision Dominance hinges on accelerating this digital transformation. We are moving beyond legacy, hardware-defined systems to embrace agility, scalability, and speed. This CSO is a call to industry for a partnership to rapidly field innovative solutions that empower our warfighters and analysts with a decisive information edge. All proposed solutions should be built upon and address the digital bedrock of our cloud computing ecosystem and be intrinsically designed around non-negotiable security principles. This includes a Zero Trust Architecture, which must be woven into the fabric of the solution
