ORIGINAL POSTING: Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) N00164-25-S-C001 Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC, Crane) The procedures outlined in this CSO apply to Areas of Interest posted under N00164-25-S-C001

OBJECTIVE: this announcement is intended to enable the rapid selection of innovative commercial solutions through a three-phased, competitive process. Including commercially-available technologies fueled by commercial or strategic investment, concept demonstrations, pilots, and agile development activities that can incrementally improve commercial technologies, existing Government-owned capabilities, or concepts for defense application. SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION 1.1

Background and Authority NSWC Crane’s mission is to deliver innovative solutions and readiness to the Nation and its Warfighters through application of Technical Capabilities; advance all-domain system of systems within the Mission Areas of Expeditionary Warfare, Strategic Missions, and Electromagnetic Warfare; conduct science and technology, research, development, test and evaluation, acquisition and in-service engineering across the Defense lifecycles. To achieve these mission imperatives, NSWC Crane regularly partners with private industry using a variety of collaborative tools in order to streamline the incorporation of innovative technology into the products and services delivered to the Warfighter. To accelerate the adoption of advanced technology, curate solutions to technology gaps, and lead rapid prototyping NSWC Crane issues this Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) as authorized by 10 U.S.C. 3458 for the acquisition of innovative commercial products or commercial services through the use of a general solicitation. In this context “Innovative” means— Any technology, process, or method, including research and development, that is new as of the date of submission of a proposal; or Any application that is new as of the date of submission of a proposal of a technology, process, or method existing as of such date. NSWC Crane is seeking innovative commercial solutions relevant to the following areas of technological exploration: • Expeditionary Warfare Guided by the National Defense Strategy, NSWC Crane recognizes the priorities and threats shifted to the Pacific. NSWC Crane’s efforts must counter the multi-domain threats and deter aggression posed in the Indo-Pacific region. This reinforces the need of a Joint Force that is even more lethal, resilient, agile and responsive. Autonomous solutions with a focus on payload and sensor integration to enhance detection, tracking, identifying, decision making, maneuver and kinetic/non-kinetic engagement capabilities for multi-domain, uncrewed and counter-crewed systems are a strategic priority. Expeditionary Warfare Development’s heritage has been and continues to focus on rapid prototyping and proven solutions supporting the evolving needs of the Expeditionary force. • Strategic Missions As the Navy’s primary organic field activity for full life cycle management including hardware, ordnance and power systems, NSWC Crane applies the distinct capabilities inherent to its people and facilities to assure 100% operational readiness of strategic missile systems. Fleet Readiness and Modernization and Hypersonics are a top priority of the Navy and DoD. These strategic priorities require collaboration between the Navy, Air Force, and Missile Defense Agency to align appropriate
