Commercial Operations & Support Saving Initiative (COSSI)

Refer to
10 U.S.C. 2511


COSSI's mission is to develop and test a method for reducing Department of Defense (DoD) Operations and Support (O&S) costs by routinely inserting commercial items into fielded military systems.


  • COSSI seeks proposals submitted by firms or teams that include at least one for-profit firm. Proposals must include the written support of a "Military Customer"
  • COSSI is a two-stage process:
    1. In stage I of each selected project, COSSI and the chosen proposer will share the costs of developing and testing the kit. (There is no minimum cost share required)
    2. If Stage I is successful, the Military Customer may then purchase reasonable production quantities of the kit in Stage II
