The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC), under the Department of the Air Force, has issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) titled "Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution & Delivery (SPEED)." This procurement, identified by FA890326SC001, is managed by the 772 Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (ESS) and is designed to competitively select innovative commercial items, technologies, and services that address AFIMSC’s evolving mission requirements and capability gaps. Purpose and Scope: The primary objective of this CSO is to foster innovation within the Air Force by sourcing solutions that can deliver new capabilities, close existing gaps, or provide technological advancements in AFIMSC’s Areas of Interest (AoI). AFIMSC serves as a central hub for innovation, connecting Airmen and stakeholders with resources, funding, and industry expertise to transform promising ideas into operational solutions. The CSO is structured to encourage participation from a broad spectrum of contributors, including traditional defense contractors, non-traditional vendors, startups, universities, and research institutions. This approach is intended to leverage the full breadth of the innovation ecosystem, ensuring that the Air Force remains agile and responsive to emerging challenges. Key Requirements and Expected Deliverables: The CSO seeks proposals that offer innovative, data-driven solutions capable of improving project outcomes, optimizing total cost of ownership, and integrating advanced market intelligence. For example, one open call (2501 - Construction Cost and Schedule) specifically requests solutions that combine benchmarking with forward-looking market intelligence, emphasizing the differentiation of discretionary versus mandatory requirements and iterative investigation from macro design to micro equipment selection. Solutions should incorporate structured and unstructured data, consider external factors such as commodity prices and local labor dynamics, and advocate for aggressive design challenges and industrialized production processes. Deliverables under this CSO may include prototypes, demonstrations, or fully developed solutions that can be tested and potentially deployed within the Air Force environment. Proposals are evaluated by subject matter experts and may lead to further contract solicitations, grants, or agreements, providing visibility and potential growth opportunities for successful offerors.

The primary points of contact for this opportunity are Michael Grasso ([email protected], 380-457-8637) and Krystle M. Zapata ([email protected], 380-459-9768).

Procurement Type and Special Considerations: The CSO utilizes procedures authorized by DFARS Subpart 212-70, allowing for streamlined acquisition and simplified contract terms. Awards may be made under FAR Part 12 Commercial Item Procedures or as Other Transactions (OTs) under 10 USC 4022, providing flexibility in contracting mechanisms.
