16th Air Force Commercial Solutions Opening

The 16th Air Force is offering a CSO authorized by 10 USC 3458 and 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.
