Quick Summary
The United States Space Force (USSF), through its Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) program, has issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) (FA2553-25-S-C001) to solicit innovative capabilities, solutions, and technological advancements. This CSO operates under DFARS 212.70 and seeks responses to specific Areas of Interest (AOIs).
Key AOIs include Continuous Fitness Assessment (AOI 05), National Space Test and Training Complex (NSTTC) Range Control System Enhancements (AOI 02), and Distributed Synthetic Training Environment Evolution & Prototyping (AOI 03). The overall CSO remains open until December 9, 2029, with the Phase I submission for AOI 05 extended to December 5, 2025.
Opportunity Details
The USSF OTTI is actively seeking cutting-edge solutions to enhance its test and training infrastructure. This CSO serves as an annual notice, with Amendment 0010 superseding all prior versions and updating security and cybersecurity language in Attachment 6.
Key Areas of Interest (AOI) Highlights
- AOI 05: Continuous Fitness Assessment (CFA): Focuses on wearable devices for continuous fitness monitoring for approximately 10,000 military Guardians. Solutions must feature a physical button for activity recording, comprehensive service support (logistics, distribution, helpdesk, training), and a robust digital architecture supporting encryption, PII, cyber compliance, and cloud environments (DISA-certified, GovCloud). An IL-4 ATO with IL-5 equivalent controls is required at award, with a path to IL-5 by Phase 3. A phased approach to capability delivery is acceptable. The Phase I submission deadline for AOI 05 has been extended to December 5, 2025.
- AOI 02: National Space Test and Training Complex (NSTTC) Range Control System Enhancements: Seeks augmentation to existing cloud-based range control software for orbital range command and control, and data fusion/visualization of terrestrial sensors. The environment is Linux RHEL8 OpenStack, and successful proposers will have full access to code and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).
- AOI 03: Distributed Synthetic Training Environment Evolution & Prototyping: Aims to evolve and prototype distributed synthetic training environments. Solutions should be installable on a classified closed-loop network and capable of cloud hosting for distributed training. Proposers will receive full access to code and SMEs.
