Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) PEO-SDA

The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) PEO‑SOF Digital Applications is issuing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to acquire innovative, commercial‑derived software solutions for Special Operations Forces. The solicitation invites solution briefs, optional Phase II pitches, and Phase III prototype proposals across rotating Technology Areas of Interest (AOIs) such as software lifecycle tools, ML Ops, and automation tooling. Awards may be issued as FAR‑based firm‑fixed‑price contracts or other‑transaction agreements (OTAs) with a typical performance period up to 24 months. Companies must be SAM‑registered and may be required to handle data rights and export controls. • Targeted deliverables include prototype software, tools, or processes that improve warfighter lethality and efficiency. • Phased evaluation: Phase I (solution brief) → optional Phase II (pitch/demonstration) → Phase III (prototype contract/RFP). • Funding is set‑aside for each AOI, and awards are competitive, potentially resulting in follow‑on production contracts.
