EO 14271 • Commercial-First Acquisition
Sets what agencies buy: commercial solutions first, with any deviation justified.
The Pathways
Pre-competed, readily awardable, protest insulated and backed by federal acquisition policies. Continuum accelerators are available today through two pre-competed channels.
Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace - Continuum Design, Code, and Connect are pre-competed and readily-awardable in this Department of War CDAO commercial marketplace.
SBIR Phase III - enables any size agency, non-competitive access to Continuum Secure and cybersecurity solutions and services tied to our original R&D. We'll manage the required tie-back documentation to streamline the award.
The Mandate
Two executive orders and a SecDef memo reset federal acquisition — Commercial-first, OTA, and SBIR are the way forward. From mandate to mission-ready in less than 45 days on the Fast Path.
Sets what agencies buy: commercial solutions first, with any deviation justified.
Sets how agencies buy: streamlining the FAR to clear the way for faster CSO, OTA, and SBIR awards.
The SecDef Warfighting Acquisition System memo makes CSOs and OTAs the directed default for DoD software buys.
Continuum Labs turns a mission challenge into a working pilot - FAST - so you can see the capability prove itself, then acquire it fast through Tradewinds or SBIR Phase III.

Features
Fast Path is a policy-aligned acquisition route that removes the barriers between your mission need and working technology.
Aligns with EO 14271, EO 14275, and the SecDef Warfighting Acquisition System memo — keeping your agency in step with Administration and Departmental directives.
Tradewinds & P1 solutions have passed peer-reviewed CSO processes, satisfying federal competition requirements before you start the award.
Because solutions are pre-competed and commercially validated, awards can be made in days rather than months.
Procure one accelerator or all four. Each module operates standalone or in concert, so you scope procurement precisely to the mission need and expand as it grows.
Built-in guardrails. Role-based access, audit trails, and NIST RMF alignment, keep every automation accountable and authorization-ready by design.
Works with existing federal IT, clouds (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government), data stacks, and delivery pipelines. No rip-and-replace — continuous modernization alongside current operations.
Move from requirement to award through a pre-competed commercial pathway. No new competition cycle, no custom-build delay.
Leverage AI-driven automation Accelerators against legacy code, system design, data migration, and compliance.
Scope the need, award via CSO, OTA, or SBIR Phase III, and stand up a working pilot in your environment in weeks.
