The AFLCMC Cloud Productivity Suite Pilot (CPSP) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) seeks white paper submittals from vendors which detail their approach to providing an integrated productivity suite/cloud tenant/operating system offering to the DAF IT enterprise, including providing alternative services and integrations for productivity suites. This is a competitive solicitation posted on this Government Point of Entry (GPE) www.sam.gov through November 2026. The CSO authority is 10 U.S.C. 3458, implemented by DFARS Subpart 212.70, for the acquisition of innovative commercial products or commercial services.
Per 10 U.S.C. 3458, innovative products/services competitively selected by peer review of proposals resulting from a general solicitation (e.g., this CTP CSO) are considered commercial notwithstanding the definition under FAR Subpart 2.101. The use of a CSO is permanently authorized by section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 (Pub. L. 117-81) codified at 10 U.S.C 3458.
The DAF Enterprise IT branch is interested in innovative technologies and services related to the areas of interest listed below. Submissions should identify innovative solutions that fill capability needs related to secure cloud instances, a comprehensive productivity suite, and hardware solutions like laptops that support seamless integration for DAF-wide adoption. This is essential to ensure that all Air Force personnel have access to reliable, secure, and efficient IT tools that meet their unique operational needs. The level of detail provided for each topic or the order in which they appear is not intended to convey any information regarding relative priority.
There are no specific Technology Readiness Level (TRL) requirements for proposed projects. However, proposed prototypes or solutions should be at a high enough TRL to enable the assessment of the viability, technical feasibility, application, or military utility of the proposed solution and support a rapid transition into operations and scaling to the DAF. The end prototype or solution must be Impact Level 5 (IL5) approved by the end of this effort at minimum.
The Government reserves the right to fund all, some, one or none of the proposals submitted; may elect to fund only part of a submitted proposal; and may incrementally fund any or all awards under this CSO. All awards are subject to the availability of funds.
