Description
A. Background: The General Services Administration (GSA) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) is a non- Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) based solicitation authority for acquiring innovative and commercial solutions. Section 880 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2017 (Pub. L. 114-328) authorized GSA to implement a pilot program to competitively procure innovative commercial items, technologies, and services using CSO procedures. CSO is new acquisition mechanism that provides a streamlined acquisition process and simplified contract terms that is designed to attract start-up companies and others who have not previously worked with U.S. Government. The GSA FEDSIM innovation team will use the CSO procedures to acquire innovative, commercial items, technologies and services currently in the production/commercialization phase as well as adaptations of existing commercial products. GSA FEDSIM will post a solicitation for a specific project or technical area of interest when an opportunity is open. For purposes of this posting, "Innovative" is defined as follows: Any item that is- A new technology, process, or method as of the date of submission of a proposal; or A new application or adaptation of an existing technology, process, or method as of the date of submission of a proposal. Includes existing items within the production/commercialization phase (i.e. after design or development, and before widespread government adoption) as well as adaptations of existing commercial products. The CSO solicitation process will include a multi-phased solicitation and evaluation approach: Phase 1 - Submission of the Written Solution Brief, Phase 2 - Oral Presentation (if applicable), and Phase 3- Request for Proposal. The CSO is considered a competitive process, intended to ensure that competitive procedures are used to the maximum extent practicable. Interested parties are highly encouraged to visit the GSA FEDSIM website https://fedsim.gsa.gov/CSOsolutions.html to obtain more information regarding the CSO process and new opportunities. Specific projects and technical areas of interest will be posted via an open solicitation on the GSA FEDSIM website and may be updated at any time. Potential offerors are hereby advised of the following: Solicitation for solution briefs is not a guarantee that award and obligation of funds will be made. The costs incurred by companies in the preparation and submission of their solution briefs in response to solicitations will not be paid by the government and are not allowable as a direct charge to any government contract. B. Current Opportunities: USMEPCOM CSO 47QFCA19R0055 Please visit https://fedsim.gsa.gov/CSOsolutions.html to review and download the solicitation. Please review the solicitation instructions for submission instructions. C. Information Session: An Information Session will be held on Google Hangouts Meet. Details as well as the agenda can be located on the GSA FEDSIM website at https://fedsim.gsa.gov/CSOsolutions.html.
