The Secretary of the Air Force Concepts Development and Management Office (SAF/CDM) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) FA7146-21-S-C-0001 solicits innovative commercial solutions to address defense-related activities and close capability gaps in the Department of the Air Force. Priority technology areas include countering strategic competitors, Big Data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, and emerging cyber technologies. The CSO operates under a two-step acquisition process: vendors submit white papers (due by September 1, 2026) which are reviewed and scored, and selected vendors are then invited to submit full proposals (due by September 30, 2026). Awards are made on a rolling basis through September 30, 2026, using Other Transaction (OT) authority for rapid prototyping and fielding. The program anticipates multiple awards from an estimated total budget of approximately $100 million and specifically targets innovative commercial items, technologies, and services that may not be available through traditional defense procurement channels. This CSO is particularly accessible to non-traditional defense contractors and companies new to working with the Department of the Air Force, as no prior defense contracting experience is required. The program supports solutions across the technology readiness spectrum from applied research through operational deployment.
USSOCOM Engage SOF (eSOF) is a Commercial Solutions Opening providing a rolling pathway for companies to submit AI and autonomous systems technologies aligned with Special Operations Forces capability needs across 14 domains including AI, ISR, cyber, mobility, weapons/electronic attack, command and control, ISR, and human performance. Selected vendors gain direct access to USSOCOM Program Executive Offices and rapid acquisition pathways. The program emphasizes AI, autonomy, drone warfare, and human-machine teaming as SOF transforms into the Pentagon's lead integrator of these technologies, with a portfolio of 487 active CRADAs and 832 active BAA submissions.
