Issuing Agency: Project Management Office (PMO) Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) Capability Program Executive, Aviation SFAE-AVN-U Agencies Capable of Issuing Contracts/Agreements: Army Contracting Command - Redstone Period of Availability: This UAS Marketplace Commercial Solutions Opening, open solicitation, will remain open in perpetuity until canceled by the U.S. Army. Call for Solutions will specify individual response times and requirements. Description of Program: In accordance with Executive Order 14307, the UAS Marketplace is the strategy to scale the industrial base and accelerate production deliveries while empowering Soldiers with freedom of choice to meet mission needs. As part of this approach, the PMO UAS will better incentivize industry innovation. UAS Marketplace marks a significant pivot from traditional Department of War (DoW) acquisition business models to a free-market approach founded on the concept of continuous competition that drives innovation, where Soldiers’ demands are directly linked to industry provided capabilities. This CSO will enable the Army to rapidly acquire and deliver innovative solutions to the Warfighter using commercial technology. SECTION A – INTRODUCTION AND AUTHORITY The PMO UAS has identified the following needs: (1) to accelerate the adoption of advanced commercial technology; (2) to transform UAS capabilities; and (3) to grow the industrial base to appropriately support the DoW. This solicitation aims to provide the DoW with access to innovative solutions enabling the DoW to evolve quickly and maintain a competitive edge over adversaries. Industry is at the forefront of innovation, developing cutting-edge capabilities that will enhance the DoW capabilities and protect the Warfighter. The DoW will select vendors whose solutions demonstrate the greatest potential to achieve the DoW's missions. The PMO UAS is maximizing existing authorities by publishing this CSO, open solicitation, combining any single authority or a combination of the authorities below: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.102(d)(2) – Other Competitive Procedures 10 U.S.C. §3458 – Authority to acquire innovative commercial products and commercial services using general solicitation competitive procedures / DFARS 212.70 – Defense Commercial Solutions Opening SECTION B - GENERAL INFORMATION The PMO UAS anticipates that the CSO will be updated frequently to improve processes and to keep pace with evolving threats, needs and innovations. The CSO will be open in perpetuity until canceled by the PMO UAS.

The Government shall not be liable to pay for work performed by a company unless a warranted KO/AO has signed an agreement in writing stating that the Government shall pay. The Government shall not fund preparation of solution briefs/proposals, or support work efforts or tasks that are inferred from discussions with technical project officers. SECTION C – AREAS OF INTEREST This CSO, open solicitation, covers any of the following example areas.

Intelligence, Electronic, Warfare, and Sensors Tactical Communications Soldier Equipment Ancillary Items Simulation and Stimulation Training and Instrumentation Uncrewed Aircraft Systems: Full Systems Air Vehicles Payloads Supply Chain and Logistics Installation Support and Innovation Additive Manufacturing Autonomous Vehicles Software Autonomous Behaviors Command & Control Launched Effects UAS Production (build at scale) SECTION D – COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS OPENING (CSO) PROCEDURES There are two methods for responding under this CSO: (1) Innovative Warfighter Solutions submissions and (2) Call for Solution submissions. Method 1 - Innovative Warfighter Solutions (IWS) a. Provides a flexible and open-ended opportunity for industry partners to submit solution briefs to any Areas of Interest (AOI) in Section C. This aspect of the CSO is designed to identify and bridge gaps in mission-critical capabilities by inviting innovative solutions from the private sector. The purpose is to encourage a wide range of responses that can enhance and support the example AOIs, foster collaboration and leverage cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to meet evolving operational needs. b. Companies shall follow the procedures outlined in Section D.1 providing a submission to an IWS. c. The submission mailbox for AOI is identified in Section J. Method 2 - Call for Solutions (C4S) a.
