Description
The AFRL Enterprise Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) creates a standing framework for industry to propose innovative, commercial or non‑developmental technologies that address any of the AFRL’s 56 Areas of Interest. Proposals are evaluated on technical merit, applicability, and funding availability, with awards issued as fixed‑price contracts or Other Transactions for Prototype (OTP). The CSO is indefinite and refreshed annually, allowing continuous submission of Commercial Solutions Briefs (CSBs) and subsequent Commercial Solutions Proposals (CSPs) through “spirals” posted on SAM.gov. No specific funding ceiling is disclosed; funding is incremental and may be increased during performance. Foreign participation is prohibited, and awardees must meet CDI, NIST‑800‑171, and export‑control requirements.
• Open to all businesses (large, small, non‑traditional) for a wide range of air, space, cyber, and cross‑domain technologies.
• Awards are fixed‑price or OTP; funding is availability‑driven with no stated ceiling.
• Submissions follow a two‑step process: CSB (brief) then CSP (full proposal) if selected; evaluation timelines up to 60 days for CSB and 90 days for CSP.
• Security‑risk review, S&T protection, and data‑rights clauses apply; compliance with DFARS and DoD regulations required.
