Awarded efforts may include performance that proceeds beyond the end of the Ordering Period. Purpose. This CSO is initiated under the Defense Commercial Solutions Offering Pilot Program (DARS Tracking Number: 2018-O0016), as authorized by Section 879 of the NDAA for FY17 (Pub. L. 114-328). Its authority has transitioned from NDAA FY2017 guidance to DFARS Subpart 212.70 Defense Commercial Solutions Opening. CSOs allow for competitive selection of innovative commercial items, technologies, and services if the award results from: •· A CSO that is general in nature identifying areas of mission or technical interest, including criteria for selecting proposals and soliciting the participation of all Contractors capable of satisfying the Government's needs •· A technical evaluation by subject matter/technical experts. A CSO may be used to award a contract or an Other Transaction that meets the definition of innovative as: any technology, process or method, including research and development, that is new as of the date of proposal submission; or any new application of an existing technology, process or method as of the proposal date. The Government may issue Amendments to this CSO during the Open Period to change or correct content, as needed. The Government may also issue Calls during the Open Period requesting targeted White Papers for a specific Objective, Focus Area, and/or capability.

Eligibility. This CSO is a full and open acquisition. White Papers will be considered from all interested vendors, including small businesses and non-traditional contractors. Foreign participation is allowed as specified in the attachment. CSO STRUCTURE/EXPECTATIONS. All White Papers/Proposals shall be submitted in accordance with this CSO. White Papers and Proposals must be submitted to Contracting POCs only, as specified in the CSO attachment and within each Amendment or Call. Contractors are advised that the submittal of a White Paper or Proposal is not a promise or guarantee of award.

The Contracting POC for this CSO is: Jennifer Villarreal Procuring Contracting Officer jennifer.villarreal.4@us.af.mil Please cc the following email for white paper submission: SAF.AA.CDM.CDMC.OCEA.CSO@us.af.mil STEPS. This CSO will follow a Two-Step process prior to any award. First Step - White Paper Submission. Contractors may submit White Papers, which will include a Cover Page, Technical/Management section and Rough Order of Magnitude, at any time throughout the Open Period upon initiation of this CSO. Multiple White Papers may be submitted, and all White Papers will be reviewed. While the Government does not intend to pay for White Papers submitted under Step 1, select Calls may provide for funding on a case-by-case basis. White Papers submitted in response to a Call will be accepted and evaluated as detailed within the individual Call. The Government will review submitted White Papers and each White Paper will be rated as "Highly Recommended," "Selectable" or "Not Selectable" based on Technical/Management and Price/Affordability. Second Step - Invitation to Propose. White Papers may result in an invitation to submit full Technical/Management and Price proposals via an Invitation to Propose (ItP). The ItP will detail all the terms and conditions for the action, to include proposal submission instructions, as well as proposal due date and time. An ItP is required to submit a proposal. A Contractor submitting a proposal without first submitting a White Paper will not be considered or eligible for award. A Contactor may only submit one proposal in response to an ItP. The Period of Performance for individual awards will be addressed in each ItP. Award . The Air Force anticipates making multiple awards under the Federal Acquisition Regulations or via Other Transaction Agreement authority as a result of this CSO. A proposal must meet the evaluation criteria specified in the ItP and the needs of the Government. Therefore, the Air Force reserves the right to award no contracts or any number of contracts for all, part, or none of the proposal(s) submitted by Offerors based on the Offeror's ability to perform desired work and funding availability.
