Scope

The Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) authority is per Section 1823 of the National De-fense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2026, which amended Section 3458 of Title 10, as codified by Public Law 119-60.

DFARS Subpart 212.70 implements 10 U.S.C.

3458 for the acquisition of innovative commercial products or commercial services through the use of a general solicitation known as a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO).

Contracting officers may use CSO’s to obtain innovative solutions or potential capabili-ties that fulfill requirements, to close commercial capability gaps, or provide potential inno-vative technological advancements; and when meaningful proposals with varying technical or scientific approaches can be reasonably anticipated.

Under a CSO, the Department of War may competitively select proposals received in response to a general solicitation, simi-lar to a broad agency announcement, based on a review of proposals by scientific, techno-logical, or other subject-matter expert peers.

Use of a CSO in accordance with DFARS Subpart 212.70 is considered to be a competitive procedure for the purposes of 10 U.S.C.

221 and FAR 6.102.

Finally, Contracting Officers shall treat items, technologies, and services acquired using a CSO as commercial items.

Contracts or purchase orders resulting under this authority shall be fixed-price, including fixed-price incentive fee contracts.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

  1. Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
  2. Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
  3. This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
  4. Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
