Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC) has issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) titled "Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution & Delivery (SPEED)". This CSO is a blanket solicitation seeking innovative commercial items, technologies, and services to address AFIMSC's requirements, close capability gaps, and advance technological capabilities. The overall CSO Open Period is from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2030.
Overarching CSO Details
The AFIMSC SPEED CSO aims to foster innovation by engaging with diverse entities, including traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, startups, universities, and research institutions. It utilizes a streamlined acquisition process authorized by DFARS Subpart 212.70, leading to FAR-based contracts under Part 12 Commercial Item Procedures or Other Transactions (OTs) under 10 USC 4022.
Process: The CSO employs a multi-spiraled approach:
- Spiral 1: Submission of a solution video (max 5 min, HD .mp4) or a written solution brief (max 5 pages/15 slides). Submissions must define the problem, accelerate the mission, advance the state of the art, and describe the business model.
- Spiral 2: Presentation/Pitch/Demo to assess technical and business viability.
- Spiral 3: Invitation to Propose (ItP) for a written proposal and negotiation.
Contract Details: Awards will be fixed-price, potentially including fixed-price incentive fee contracts. The period of performance for individual awards will be defined in each specific Area of Interest (AoI) Call. Eligibility: This is a full and open acquisition, welcoming all interested vendors, including small businesses and non-traditional contractors. Foreign-owned firms should notify the Contracting POC. Submission & Evaluation: Spiral 1 submissions are evaluated on responsiveness to the AoI, technical merit, and price/affordability (ROM for briefs, commercial pricing for videos). Ratings include Highly Recommended, Selectable, or Not Selectable. Companies must have a Unique Entity ID (UEI) and be registered in SAM.gov prior to award.
Current Areas of Interest (AoIs)
AFIMSC components issue specific AoI Calls under this CSO. The most recent closed AoI calls include:

The goal is to create high-accuracy, laser-scanned 3D models of existing facilities to support life-cycle management and digital transformation.
- Key Requirements: Develop methodologies for 3D model creation, capture precise parameter data, ensure adherence to DoD/AF BIM standards, integrate with AF asset management systems (MAXIMO) and analytics platforms (BLADE, Envision), and store data in DoD-approved IL5 cloud repositories.

AoI 2605: Data Science Capability and Framework
- Purpose: Develop a framework for data orchestration and advanced analytics to enhance data-driven decision-making for AFIMSC.
- Key Requirements: Integrate multiple government data platforms (Envision, VAULT, Advana, UDL), develop AI/ML models and optimization algorithms, implement comprehensive data governance, provide cloud-based solutions, and automate workflows.
