The Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geospatial Research Laboratory (GRL) is issuing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) solicitation to acquire innovative commercial technologies and services for the Department of Defense. The focus areas include enhancing mission command environments, full 3D mapping capabilities, and advanced remote sensing technologies. Solutions can be existing technologies or new applications addressing geospatial capabilities. Submissions must include technical details and pricing, with a maximum of two volumes covering a cover letter, a technical brief, a pitch deck, and a price proposal. Proposals will be evaluated using a one-step process assessing technical innovation, importance to agency needs, and available funding. Awards will be based on fair and reasonable pricing, with contracts expected to be firm-fixed price. The process emphasizes transparency, allowing for a potential two-step demonstration evaluation if necessary. The solicitation remains open for submissions until June 30, 2026, and the government maintains the right to select none of the submissions if desired.
