NIWC Atlantic Rapid Capabilities Cell Commercial Solutions Opening

The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic has issued this Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), solicitation number N6523626S0001, to rapidly assess and accelerate the delivery of integrated information warfare capabilities. Authorized under 10 U.S.C. 4022, the Rapid Capabilities Cell (RCC) utilizes this general solicitation to acquire innovative commercial products or services that address emergent fleet needs, technology gaps, and rapid prototyping requirements. This initiative supports NIWC Atlantic’s broader mission of research, development, engineering, and sustainment across all warfighting domains, specifically focusing on Expeditionary Tactical Capabilities and Enterprise IT and Business Systems.

This procurement is classified under NAICS 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology). The CSO functions as a continuously open announcement under which specific Areas of Interest (AOI) will be posted for technical solution submissions. Recent administrative updates to the notice have incorporated security classification guidance via Command Focus Area level DD254s, established public release and dissemination protocols, and designated Vulcan as the platform for future AOI postings and proposal submissions. The government may also award Production Other Transaction (OT) agreements resulting from successful prototypes developed under this CSO.

The Executive Office of the President serves as the awarding agency for this special notice, which was first published on November 5, 2025, and last updated on May 20, 2026. One PDF attachment is included with the notice metadata, and Jessie Rehwoldt is identified as the point of contact. While the CSO remains open for future AOIs, the government does not accept responses directly against this general announcement. All future requirements, technical solutions, and potential production outcomes will be managed through the individual AOIs released under this solicitation identifier.
