Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)

The United States Space Force’s Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) is a multi‑area, open‑ended solicitation seeking innovative solutions across a range of aerospace‑focused capabilities. The CSO operates under DFARS 212.70 and allows offerors to submit proposals for specific Areas of Interest (AOIs) that address needs such as advanced electro‑optical systems, range‑control software enhancements, synthetic training environments, satellite‑frequency test suites, wearable fitness devices, and range instrumentation/sensing solutions. Each AOI has its own Phase I “PowerPoint & White Paper” deadline, after which selected offerors may be invited to Phase II pitches and ultimately Phase III contract awards. The solicitation remains open indefinitely with annual updates, and new AOIs may be added via amendments. Offerors must be SAM‑registered, meet DoD cybersecurity (CMMC/NIST 800‑171) requirements, and for certain AOIs (06 & 07) provide CAGE codes and facility‑clearance verification to access controlled annexes. No monetary ceilings are disclosed; awards are subject to fund availability and will be evaluated on technical merit, relevance, and price. • Multiple AOIs cover distinct technical domains: EO system optimization, range‑control software, synthetic training, SATCOM test hardware, wearable fitness devices, and space‑range instrumentation/sensing. • Phase I submissions are limited to a brief PowerPoint deck and a two‑page white paper; each AOI has its own “Accepted Until” deadline (most have already passed, but AOI 06/07 accept proposals until 30 Jun 2027). • Contracts may be fixed‑price or Other‑Transactions, with full data‑rights negotiations; offerors must submit a Small‑Business Subcontracting Plan if a large business. • Security: Phase I is unclassified; Phase II/III may require Secret ATOs and compliance with IL‑4/IL‑5 cyber‑security standards. • Compliance: Offerors must have current NIST 800‑171 DoD assessments in SPRS and satisfy DFARS 252.204‑7019/‑7020 (CMMC) requirements.
