Through new contracting tools, we fund companies offering technological solutions that enhance warfighter capabilities – and we do this in a fraction of the amount of time that it traditionally takes.

The DIUx Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) is one such tool we have developed with the U.S. Army Contracting Command – New Jersey. Its process is simple:

• First, we post current technology areas of interest
• Then, if there’s interest on your end you can tell us about your technology through a solution brief. Learn more about what information we’re looking for below.
• Then, we’ll get back to you within 30 days. If we’re interested in learning more, we may invite you to pitch or demo. If we’re not interested, we may or may not be able to provide substantive feedback.
• If we think there’s a good match between your solution and our customers (i.e., the men and women in uniform), we’ll invite you to provide us with a full proposal—this is the beginning of negotiating all the terms and conditions of the proposed project.
