NEW - Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC) Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution & Delivery (SPEED) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document is a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) solicitation, "Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution & Delivery (SPEED)", issued by the Department of the Air Force, Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC). The CSO aims to competitively procure innovative commercial items, technologies, and services to fulfill requirements, close capability gaps, or provide technological advancements. It utilizes a streamlined acquisition process authorized by DFARS Subpart 212.70, allowing for awards under FAR Part 12 Commercial Item Procedures or Other Transactions (OTs) under 10 USC 4022. Both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors are eligible.

The CSO operates with a multi-spiraled solicitation and evaluation approach. Interested parties can submit either a solution video or a written solution brief (Spiral 1). Submissions must address: defining the problem, accelerating the mission, advancing the state of the art, and the business model. Videos must be no longer than 5 minutes, in HD resolution, and conform to specific technical requirements. Written briefs have page limits and must include company information, an executive summary, technology concept, and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) price. Successful submissions may lead to a presentation/pitch/demo (Spiral 2) and potentially a Commercial Solution Proposal (CSP) (Spiral 3).

The CSO Open Period is from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2030. Awards will be fixed-price, potentially including fixed-price incentive fee contracts. The period of performance for individual awards will be specified in each Area of Interest (Aol) Call.

Submissions are evaluated based on responsiveness to the Aol, technical merit, and price/affordability. Solutions are rated as Highly Recommended, Selectable, or Not Selectable. The government may request further steps (Spiral 2, Spiral 3) based on initial evaluations. All communications should be UNCLASSIFIED and submitted via email to the provided POCs.

This is a full and open acquisition, considering all interested vendors, including small businesses and non-traditional contractors. Foreign-owned firms are asked to notify the Contracting POC before responding due to potential restrictions.

Amendments to this CSO will be posted through the Government-wide Point of Entry (GPE) at www.sam.gov. Companies must have a Unique Entity ID (UEI) and be registered in SAM.gov. The government reserves the right to award some, all, or none of the proposals submitted.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the AFCEC Data Repository and Dashboard opportunity (FA8903-26-S-C001 SPEED Commercial Solutions Opening - CSO).

• Conflict of Interest: Offerors granted access to sensitive contracting data via a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) can still bid on future AFCEC work. However, they must isolate employees with data access from the new bidding process and be prepared to prove no unfair advantage was gained if a protest is filed.
• Spiral 2 Submission Format: Offerors can choose their submission format (e.g., presentation slides, written technical/business attachment, video, or a combination). A technical walkthrough of the proposed solution is recommended, potentially including demonstrations of existing capabilities.
• Submission Deadlines: The Spiral 2 package, including the presentation/pitch/demo and proposed prototype cost, must be submitted by 5:00 PM CDT on April 14, 2026, to the specified CSO organization box and CC'd POCs.
• Data Security: Work will not involve data classified higher than Impact Level 5 (IL5), which is the designated security tier for highly sensitive Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
• Prototype Scope: The initial prototype is expected to be phased, starting with analysis across all seven AFCEC directorates (Phase 1), followed by development and integration (Phase 2), and deployment (Phase 3). Archived/inactive contracts are out of scope. The data dictionary and schema will be defined by the offeror after Phase I.
• Technology Stack: The solution should leverage Microsoft Power Platform and native Microsoft Azure services (Power BI, Dataverse/Azure SQL, Power Apps, Data Factory/Power Automate) to the maximum extent practicable. Alternatives require strong justification.
• Data Rights: The government intends to own and have unrestricted use of all final deliverables.

This Q&A clarifies submission requirements, data handling, prototype scope, and conflict of interest policies, providing essential details for offerors preparing their Spiral 2 submissions.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document is a Question and Answer Matrix providing clarifications for the "Closed Area of Interest (AOI) for SPEED CSO - As-Built Building Information Modeling (BIM) Data Acquisition" opportunity.

• Submission Requirements for As-Built BIM Data Acquisition (Closed-26-07): The government clarified that when a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) combines Spiral 1 and Spiral 2, it signifies a single, fast-paced acquisition strategy. This integrated approach aims to move an innovative commercial idea from concept to a viable military prototype in one continuous effort.
  • Phase 1 (Spiral 1): Focuses on proving feasibility and demonstrating that the technology can solve a defined problem in a controlled environment.
  • Phase 2 (Spiral 2): Focuses on refining the prototype for reliability and security for warfighters.
  • When both spirals are combined, offerors must present their entire approach from the start, detailing plans for both initial concept demonstration and subsequent prototype refinement. This allows the government to select a partner upfront and expedites the process from white paper to functional prototype.
• Document Reference Correction: A note indicates a correction for a line reading "To implement this MOR..." which should read "To implement this MOU...", clarifying that the referenced document is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), not a Memorandum of Record (MOR).

This Q&A matrix provides critical clarification on the acquisition strategy for the CSO, specifically how combined Spirals 1 and 2 function. It also corrects a potential misinterpretation of a referenced document type. Bidders should ensure their proposals reflect the understanding of a single, integrated acquisition process for both concept demonstration and prototype refinement.

This Area of Interest (Aol) seeks innovative solutions for a scalable, open architecture framework for autonomous beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations of multiple unmanned systems. The goal is to provide end users with vital multi-domain operational mission data and capability to sense, make sense, and/or act through the AFIMSC SPEED Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO). This effort aims to modernize legacy operations and programs, enabling the use of responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities.

• Integrated Planning & Coordination: Create a system for all USAF installation functional organizations, operators, airspace authorities, and unmanned assets (SUAS, ASV, UGV) to eliminate siloed execution and improve mission efficiency, safety, and compliance.

• Autonomous Framework: Develop a scalable framework enabling a minimal number of operators to control and manage maximum numbers of unmanned air, surface, and ground vehicles through automated mission execution, autonomous teaming, and swarm-capable operations.

• Automated Mission Management: Establish automated mission planning, platform selection, flight rotations, and launch triggers to reduce approval timelines and optimize asset utilization.

• Aerospace Deconfliction & Integration: Provide automated airspace deconfliction by generating and submitting flight volumes and telemetry through CLUE, integrating operational data into a Common Operating Picture (TAK).

• Sensor, Vehicle, and System Agnostic Architecture: Deliver an open, non-proprietary, standards-based system (e.g., MAVLink, IEEE, MIL-STD compliance) that integrates with existing USAF systems.

• This Aol is issued under the AFIMSC SPEED Commercial Solutions Opening (FA800325SC0001).

• The Government is not obligated to issue a request for proposal or make an award.

• Submission: A Spiral 1 Written Solutions Brief must be submitted via e-mail by 5:00 P.M. (CDT) on 24 FEB 2006.
