This Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) seeks innovative commercial solutions to fulfill defense-related requirements and close capability gaps, with a white paper open period running until 1 September 2026 and an ordering period until 30 September 2026. The process involves a two-step submission beginning with a white paper, which may lead to an invitation for a full proposal. The Air Force anticipates making multiple contract awards or Other Transaction Agreements based on proposals meeting government needs and evaluation criteria.

The period of performance for any resulting awards will be defined in the individual request for proposals.
