USSF Construction CSO

The United States Space Force (USSF) has issued a Master Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to streamline design, construction, repair, and alteration of base infrastructure. This overarching solicitation authorizes Fixed‑Price Other Transaction (OT) agreements under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a and will be used to publish individual Area‑of‑Interest (AOI) solicitations for specific construction projects. Companies must be SAM‑registered, submit unclassified white papers in response to AOIs, and progress through a three‑phase down‑select (white paper, oral pitch, full commercial proposal). The CSO is exempt from FAR/DFARS, mandates fixed‑price contracts only, and disallows unsolicited submissions. • Scope covers new construction, repair, alteration, and modular/industrialized building methods for USSF installations. • All awards will be Fixed‑Price OT (FFP, FPIF, or FPAF) with milestone‑based payments and strict bonding/insurance requirements. • Evaluation will focus on constructability, schedule risk, project management, safety, financial risk, and related criteria defined per AOI.
