Army Contracting Command – Red River Army Depot (ACC-RRAD) Organic Industrial Base (OIB) Modernization Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) W911RQ-25-S-C001-0001
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025Aiming to modernize the Organic Industrial Base (OIB) through Convergent Manufacturing, the CSO seeks competitive proposals for innovative commercial items, technologies, and services in areas like Agile/flexible facilities, connected digital enterprise, advanced manufacturing, Digital Twin, automation, and cybersecurity. It uses a DFARS Subpart 212-70 process with streamlined FAR Part 12 Commercial Item procedures, allowing both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors to be awarded; contracting officers may select proposals from a broad competitive solicitation based on SME evaluation.
Recent updates include new and revised Specific Areas of Interest (AOIs): AOI 001 Road Wheel Drum Tester with updated thresholds, AOI 003 DC Tooling, AOI 004 Diesel Fuel Injector Pump Test Equipment, and AOI 005 Commercial Industry Use of Government Facilities (updated versions V2 and V3). The CSO POC has been removed, and the closing date for proposals has been extended.
The U.S. Army recognizes that investments in producibility and advanced manufacturing will need to continue to be made to support a vast array of crucial activities, including but not limited to acquisition, sustainment, logistics, and ultimately the Army s Modernization of its Organic Industrial base (OIB). In order to deliver impactful operational results, the US Army must modernize the OIB, particularly in the areas of Agile / flexible facilities, connected digital enterprise, advanced manufacturing, Digital Twin, automation, and cyber security. DEVCOM has coined these technologies collectively as Convergent Manufacturing. With the focus on both new capabilities and operational constructs convergent manufacturing technologies will accelerate the OIB s capability to get advanced solutions to the Warfighter while enhancing and optimizing the Defense Manufacturing Base for today and tomorrow s missions. This CSO will utilize a solicitation process authorized by DFARS Subpart 212-70. Under this CSO, the DoD will be allowed to competitively procure innovative commercial items, technologies, and services. CSO procedures provide a streamlined acquisition process and simplified contract terms resulting in FAR-based contracts awarded under Part 12 Commercial Item Procedures. Both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors may be awarded contracts under this CSO. Under a CSO DoD contracting officers may competitively select proposals received in response to a general competitive solicitation, similar to a broad agency announcement, based on a review of proposals by scientific, technological, or other subject matter experts. ****Changes**** 08 Oct 2024 - Specific AOI 001 Road Wheel Drum Tester, new thresholds identified, revised AOI 001 posted. 31 Mar 2025 - Specific AOI 003 DC Tooling. 6 May 2025 - Deleted CSO POC Gary Richardson 19 May 2025 - Specific AoI 004 Diesel Fuel Injector Pump Test Equipment posted. 29 May 2025 - Specific AoI 005 Commercial Industry Use of Government Facilities V2 posted. 12 June 2025 - Specific AoI 005 Commercial Industry Use of Government Facilities V3 posted 26 June 2025 - Specific AoI 004 Closing date extended to 25 July 2025
