Description

Call For Technology Experimentation: Transforming in Contact (EXTiC) 26-2 OPEN CALL for TECHNOLOGY United States Central Command (CENTCOM), in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit, is initiating an open call to find, vet, validate, and integrate new and emerging technologies in alignment with CENTCOM's strategic technology priority areas. Experimentation: Transforming in Contact (EXTiC) 26-2 provides relevant scenarios to Joint Command participants as they seek to establish an operationally relevant environment for new technologies and design cost-effective, repeatable experimentation events relevant to the future of warfare. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 3458, technologies assessed through the competitive procedures used in this Open Call conform to the competition requirements of 10 U.S.C. 4021, 10 U.S.C. 4022, 10 U.S.C. 4023, FAR Part 35, and DFARS Subpart 212.70, and may be considered readily available to be observed, selected, negotiated, and awarded by federal government activities without further competition. The Government is not liable for payment of any costs incurred in response to this Call for Technology (CFT) and participation in the EXTiC experimentation event and is under no obligation to act in any way on the information received or make any awards from this event. No costs incurred by interested companies / technologies in response to this announcement will be reimbursed. The information provided may be used by any federal agency in developing a future acquisition strategy, Performance Work Statement (PWS), Statement of Objectives (SOO) and / or Performance Based Specifications (PBSs). Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or competition-sensitive information contained in their response. Submissions will be assessed by a peer panel which may include DoW and supporting industry and academic Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) that will determine the technical merit of submissions based on maturity and mission threat alignment. If a submission is deemed “awardable” it may be eligible for award of further research, prototyping, procurement for experimental purposes, and even production under 10 USC 4021, 10 USC 4022, 10 USC 3458, FAR/DFARS Part 35, and DFARS Subpart 212.70, and 10 USC 4023. PURPOSE: Find, vet, validate, and integrate new and emerging technologies into EXTiC 26-2 in alignment with CENTCOM's strategic technology priority areas. This experimentation event provides relevant scenarios to Joint Command participants as they seek to establish an operationally relevant environment for new technologies and design cost-effective, repeatable experimentation events relevant to the future of warfare. BACKGROUND: Department of War (DoW) experimentation events are vital for advancing military capabilities and ensuring strategic readiness. These eve…
