Description

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is opening a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to gather innovative solutions for small‑uncrewed aerial systems and related asymmetric capabilities. The CSO establishes a 12‑month window (ending 3 Sept 2027) during which the Air Force will issue individual “Problem Statement Calls” that may require a solution brief, a pitch, and/or a full proposal. No funding is attached to the initial posting; interested vendors must be prepared to submit Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing and meet data‑rights requirements. Awards may be made under Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) or FAR‑based contracts, with the possibility of follow‑on production contracts without additional competition.

Budget estimate

$1,000,000 – $5,000,000

The solicitation notes that no funding is currently available, but future “Problem Statement Calls” will require ROM pricing and may result in OTA or FAR contracts. Similar OTA prototype efforts for small‑UAS systems typically range from $1 M to $5 M in total value, depending on prototype complexity, production scale, and follow‑on support. Consequently, a realistic estimate for a successful award would fall within the $1 million–$5 million range.
