This document contains an amendment to a Broad Agency Announcement and details of a related federal contract opportunity. The amendment provides clarification that the anticipated start date for Call #0006 under BAA-RQKPD-2015-0001 is November 2019, with performance to commence upon contract award. The federal contract opportunity seeks technologies to certify the structural integrity and extend the service lives of airframes containing advanced composite primary structures within the United States Air Force fleet, without widespread replacement of aged structures or repetition of demonstration processes. The Composite Airframe Life Extension program administered by the United States Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory aims to identify, develop, demonstrate and validate methods to determine and predict the residual strength, durability, damage tolerance and reliability of composite airframe structures throughout original and potential new service lives.
