Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) UxS Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)

Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) is soliciting innovative solutions for unmanned systems (UxS) capabilities through a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) H92240-26-S-C001. This initiative aims to accelerate the development and integration of UxS for the Joint Force and Special Operations Forces (SOF). NSWC seeks to award Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contracts or Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements for “UxS as a service,” First Person View (FPV) platforms, and UxS training. The CSO is a multi-phased competitive process for 2026/2027, including Solution Brief/White Paper, Demonstration/Pitch, and Proposal stages. Key areas of interest include subscription-based UxS solutions (AOI 1), FPV systems for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) (AOI 2), FPV systems for kinetic operations (AOI 3), and comprehensive UxS training (AOI 4). Submissions for these AOIs have specific deadlines in 2026. The evaluation criteria prioritize technical merit, innovation, relevance to NSWC programs, business viability, and affordability. Companies must register in SAM.gov to receive an award.
