SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), through the Program Executive Office for SOF Digital Applications (PEO SDA), is soliciting proposals to accelerate the integration of commercially derived software innovation into deployable warfighting capabilities. This Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) aims to rapidly field tailored software solutions by awarding a range of contracts and agreements—including those under Other Transaction Authority (OTA) and traditional FAR-based procurement—to both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors.
The multi-phased competitive process spans 2024 and 2025, emphasizing the delivery of software prototypes, concept demonstrations, pilots, and agile development activities that improve upon commercial technologies or government-owned solutions for defense application. Technology Areas of Interest (AOIs) will be posted intermittently for focused problem sets related to software-intensive capabilities, such as software lifecycle management tools, automation for data ingestion, machine learning operations, and software process improvement. Proposals should employ modern iterative software development methodologies (such as agile or lean), utilize DevSecOps practices, and center on human-focused design. Teams will collaborate closely with Government personnel throughout solution development, with only the most promising solutions progressing to contract negotiations and award.
