The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Armament Directorate is seeking innovative commercial solutions to address various areas of interest, including seeker science and technology, warhead energetics, software defined radio prototyping, and more. The Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) is a competitive procedure to acquire innovative commercial items, technologies, or services. The CSO will be open continuously for a 12-month period, with the possibility of extension, and may lead to FAR Part 12 or Other Transactions. The primary evaluation factors for selecting proposals will be technical merit, importance to agency programs, and funds availability.
Some key areas of interest include:
• Seeker Science and Technology (S&T) and Prototyping
• Warhead Energetics, Prototyping, and Modeling
• Software Defined Radio Prototyping
• Prototype integration, WOSA modeling, WOSA MOATEL testing, testing of prototype hardware/software with WOSA models
