On September 8, the U.S. Army Project Management Office (PMO) Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Capability Program Executive, Aviation SFAE-AVN-U announced a drone marketplace commercial solutions opening (CSO).
This Department of War (DoW) Drone Commercial Solutions Opening, open solicitation, will remain open in perpetuity until canceled. Call for Solutions will specify individual response times and requirements.
In accordance with Executive Order 14307, the DoW Drone 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 DoW will better incentivize industry innovation. DoW Drone Marketplace marks a significant pivot from traditional 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 DoW to rapidly acquire and deliver innovative solutions to the Warfighter using commercial technology.
The DoW has identified the following needs: (1) to accelerate the adoption of advanced commercial technology; (2) to transform DoW Drone Marketplace 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.
