TRANSCOM CSO - Specific AoI 002: Commercial Partner Analysis and Stability Snapshots (COMPASS)

The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is seeking commercial solutions for the Commercial Partner Analysis and Stability Snapshots (COMPASS) program under a Commercial Solution Opening (CSO). This requirement, designated as Specific Area of Interest (AoI) 002, focuses on a financial reporting capability to assess commercial transportation partners. The resulting analytics support the Department of War (DoW) in making procurement and logistics decisions based on the financial health and stability of its commercial network. The acquisition follows a three-phase process managed through the Vulcan platform. Phase 1 involves submitting solution briefs, including a Scout Card, white paper, and a five-minute video. Subsequent phases include virtual demonstrations and formal written proposals. Performance is based at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, and awards may be issued as FAR Part 12 contracts or Other Transaction (OT) Agreements. The solicitation package includes the base CSO and a technical annex for AoI 002, which defines 13 specific technical objectives. The deadline for Phase 1 submissions is June 30, 2026. The acquisition uses a three-phase process. Phase 1 requires a Solution Brief, including a Scout Card and White Paper, submitted via the Vulcan platform. Phase 2 involves a presentation or pitch, and Phase 3 is a formal Request for Proposal. Awards may be FAR Part 12 contracts or Other Transaction Agreements. The COMPASS initiative provides USTRANSCOM with financial and operational assessments of commercial transportation partners to support logistics decisions. The solution initially covers air and sea domains, with planned expansion into surface and rail.
