AFLCMC Data Operations CSO
Overview

This Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) is intended to be a streamlined vehicle to allow for the establishment of a modern Data Operations (DataOps) solution supporting a variety of critical national security systems. This CSO authority is established under section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 (Pub. L. 117-81) and Class Deviation 2022-O0007. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) programs require the utilization and leveraging of the latest technology advances from a large variety of prospective Contractors. AFLCMC invites innovating technical approach proposals addressing all aspects of DataOps focusing on the below objective areas. However, these enumerated focus areas are minimum requirements, and AFLCMC is open to the identification of technologies useful for modernizing DataOps for sophisticated security and weapon systems. This requires delivering an enduring, secure, robust, efficient, responsive, agile, elastic, and extensible classified DataOps solution. This CSO will focus on existing and emerging technologies and platforms across AFLCMC, Department of the Air Force (DAF), Department of Defense (DoD) and the Intelligence Community, as well as leveraging commercial markets to perform an integrated analysis of the capabilities of varying technologies that support our critical national security systems and prioritize investments over time.

The CSO may result in the award of FAR Part 12 Contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) under 10 USC 4022, through Calls via Amendments to the CSO. The Government anticipates future Calls to be competitively solicited. These Calls will contain specific Areas of Interest, User Stories and/or Problem Statements related to program specific DataOps Focus Areas. These specific Areas of Interest are what prospective Contractors shall focus their solutions towards. The Government reserves the right to issue separate Calls for each DataOps Focus Area or combine several Focus Areas under an individual Call.

Disclaimer: No proposals or white papers are being requested at this time. Those will be requested via Calls published under the CSO solicitation.

AFLCMC is not obligated to make any awards from any publicized Call, and all awards under this CSO are explicitly subject to the availability of funds and successful negotiations. The Government is not responsible for any monies expended by any vendor prior to the issuance of any awarded contract/agreement. AFLCMC reserves the right to modify the solicitation requirements of this CSO and each subsequent Call at its sole discretion.
