Commercial Solutions Opening for Counter-UAS and Defensive Capabilities

The United States Air Force is conducting a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, to acquire innovative commercial items, technologies, and services. This CSO is continuously open and seeks solutions that fulfill requirements, close capability gaps, or provide technological advancements. The focus areas include rapid point defense and counter-UAS (cUAS) capabilities, advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) data integration and analytics, multi-threat and swarm defeat mechanisms, agile mission software and rapid prototyping, modular sensor integration and fusion, sustainable open architectures, automated target recognition (ATR), and integration frameworks. The Air Force is particularly interested in end-to-end defensive solutions that leverage open architecture principles and encourages teaming and partnership arrangements for turnkey solutions. Performers may need to demonstrate the capability to work in classified environments up to the Secret level. Awards will be made as Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contracts under FAR Part 12. The government is not obligated to make any awards.
