Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) - PAE-MC, PM Training Systems

The Marine Corps’ Program Manager Training Systems (PM TRASYS) is issuing an umbrella Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to acquire commercial technologies that improve ground‑training systems, devices, and services. Offerors may submit solution briefs, be invited to pitch, and potentially receive a fixed‑price award under 10 U.S.C. § 3458. The CSO remains open until 19 Oct 2031 and can cover multiple Areas of Interest (AoIs) such as manufacturing, modeling & simulation, synthetic training, and training‑area management. No specific dollar ceiling is disclosed; awards will be made only when funds are available. • Open to all responsible sources (large, small, academic, non‑traditional defense contractors). • Three‑phase evaluation: solution brief → optional pitch → full commercial solution proposal (CSP). • Fixed‑price contract type; no reimbursement for preparation costs unless an AoI states otherwise. • Submissions must be electronic, limited to 15 slides for the brief, and adhere to CSO procedures (no traditional FAR opening, discussion, or debrief).
