AIE-ITS CSO

The Army Intelligence Enterprise – Information Technology Services (AIE‑ITS) is issuing a standing Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to obtain innovative commercial IT solutions that will enhance, secure, sustain, and modernize the Army’s global intelligence‑support IT environment. The CSO uses a dual‑track approach: (1) a continuously open “General Submission” track where vendors may submit solution briefs (white papers) at any time for any of the listed Open Areas of Interest (AoIs); and (2) a “Calls for Innovative Solutions” track where the government issues time‑bound, closed‑deadline solicitations for specific capability gaps. Submissions are peer‑reviewed in up to three phases (solution brief, presentation/pitch, and request for commercial solution proposal). Awards may be fixed‑price commercial item contracts (FAR Part 12) or other non‑FAR agreements. The CSO remains open until 11 Sep 2036, with no fixed submission deadline for the open track. Vendors must have a Top‑Secret Facility Clearance and be able to provide TS/SCI‑cleared personnel; foreign‑owned firms must address FOCI requirements. The solicitation encourages small businesses and non‑traditional defense contractors.
