The CSO is open for ten years, with each AOI having a 364-day period for award beyond the CSO's expiration. Eligible contractors include small businesses, nontraditional defense contractors, and foreign-owned firms (with certain restrictions). Submissions must be unclassified, and the government will evaluate white papers based on relevance, merit, feasibility of the technical solution, schedule, and rough order of magnitude (ROM). Selected white papers may proceed to a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Prototype Proposal (RPP). Awards may be made under FAR-based contracts or non-FAR-based agreements, depending on the authority (10 **** or ****). The process includes evaluation criteria, award requirements (SAM registration, CAGE code), and considerations for other transactions (e. g. , iterative prototyping). The government will protect submitted information as confidential.
