The Air Force Research Laboratory seeks white papers and proposals through a two-step process to perform research and development, modeling, simulation, fabrication, experimentation, testing, demonstration, prototyping, and analysis related to space-flight systems, with a proposal due date of March 25, 2030. This is an Open Advanced Research Announcement under 10 U.S.C. 4023, with no set-aside restriction; the solicitation is open to businesses of all sizes.
Place of performance encompasses all aspects of space-flight systems work including space flight, on-orbit servicing, debris management, controlled reentry, ground systems, communications, command and control, advanced spacecraft manufacturing, and space system user equipment. Four primary topic areas structure the research: space vehicle functionality and logistics; mission effects and capabilities; space system/services anomaly detection, attribution, and protection; and space battle management, command and control. All proposals must demonstrate benefits to national defense and include strategies for verifying those benefits.
Estimated award values range from $50,000 to $100,000,000, with multiple awards anticipated. No required cost sharing applies. Contract types may include Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee, Cost Contracts, Firm Fixed Price, Other Transactions under 10 U.S.C. 4023, or Technology Investment Agreements. Contractor employees requiring base access must be U.S. citizens unless approved by DoD or State Department. Foreign or foreign-owned offerors must contact the Contracting Officer regarding disclosure procedures. All work is subject to export control laws (ITAR/EAR), requiring a certified DD Form 2345. The Government will use peer or scientific review evaluating proposals against problem definition, relevance to AFRL needs, scientific and engineering viability, project plan quality, and value relative to cost. The primary contracting officer is Daniel J. Alvarado (AFRL/RJZY, 505-853-4755, daniel.alvarado.12@spaceforce.mil); alternative contacts are Caroline Salazar and Stephanie Harris at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico.

4/15/20, 8:18 PM MASE Project SEEM Program Call 007
The Air Force Research Laboratory is soliciting proposals to develop an E region climatology model and ionospheric power propagation model. The models aim to improve understanding of sporadic E occurrence and morphology for incorporation into regional and global ionospheric models. Proposals must address the objectives in the attached Statement of Work and include a technical approach meeting all requirements. Proposals will be evaluated based on overall scientific and technical merit, importance to the program, and available funding. Proposals are due by July 7, 2023.
There is no set-aside designation. The work is anticipated to be performed in the United States under NAICS code 541715 and PSC code R425. The total anticipated value is $1.35 million to be awarded to at least one contractor through a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract over a 39-month period of performance. Deliverables include the E Region Climatology Model, monthly status reports, final reports, and data. Evaluation is expected to result in award of one contract, but the agency reserves the right to make multiple awards.
