Description
The U.S. Army is issuing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to acquire commercial‑off‑the‑shelf software applications that can be containerized, integrated with the NGC2 common data layer, and deployed across a spectrum of compute environments from enterprise cloud to austere edge devices. Vendors submit a concise 5‑page White Paper (WP) plus a required questionnaire; successful WPs may be invited to a Phase II prototype proposal (Step 2) and ultimately to a production contract. The effort is open until 16 May 2027 (CSO open period through 20 July 2028) and seeks scalable, secure, and interoperable C2 solutions.
• Target: Commercial software that can ingest, process, and publish data via open APIs/SDKs within the NGC2 architecture.
• Requirements: OCI‑compliant container deployment, ability to run on cloud and edge, existing or expired ATO, and a realistic Rough Order‑of‑Magnitude (ROM) price for a 12‑month license across multiple usage tiers.
• Submission: White Paper due 6 Aug 2026 13:00 ET; no mandatory pre‑bid meeting, but an Industry Day held 23 Jul 2026.
• Evaluation: Technical merit, scalability, and affordability; outcomes are “awardable” or “not awardable”.
