In accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 212.70, the term innovative is defined as any technology, process, or method, including research and development, that is new as of the date of proposal submission, or any new application of an existing technology, process, or method as of the proposal date. CSOs may only be used to obtain innovative solutions or potential capabilities that fulfill requirements; to close capability gaps or provide potential innovative technological advancements; and when meaningful proposals with varying technical or scientific approaches can be reasonably anticipated.

ACC-DTA is not obliged to extend a request for proposal or make an award because of this CSO AoI; all awards are subject to the availability of funds and successful negotiations.

The workforce includes highly skilled and uniquely qualified professionals, from engineers and industrial artisans to senior logisticians and business analysts. This largely civilian workforce is critical to building Army readiness around the world. TACOM is located at the Detroit Arsenal (Warren, MI), approximately 20 miles north of downtown Detroit.
