Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) Background

10 U.S.C. 3458

The NAVWAR Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) falls under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3458 and allows for multi-phased competitive solicitations designed to encourage non-traditional contractors to work with the Department of Defense by simplifying the procurement process for innovative technologies.

Our Customers

NAVWAR seeks commercial technologies that propose new or existing solutions or potential new capabilities that fulfill requirements held by Program Executive Office (PEO) Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I).

The Difference

Per 10.U.S.C. 3458 CSO Authority may be leveraged by military departments to acquire innovative commercial products and commercial services. Many other DoD entities currently compete for mindshare in this space using CSOs, so why work with us? Unlike our peers in this space, we are directly responsible for executing the requirements of the programs and projects that fall under PEO C4I. With a combined total of more than a hundred active programs of record (POR) and projects funded with more than $1B in annual appropriated funds, NAVWAR executes the Navy’s information warfare capabilities to ensure continued supremacy in the maritime domain.

Areas of Interest

NAVWAR supports a wide and varying group of capabilities sought by the USN and allied forces. The NAVWAR CSO is available for use by any program or project within the referenced PEO and is intended to be leveraged broadly to ensure speed to capability. Although the NAVWAR CSO portal will be the source for formal calls/solicitations, vendors and industry partners working within the specified Areas of Interest (AIO) are advised to follow the site for upcoming opportunities within the PEO.
