ADEPT_Q and A_ 2.xlsx

This is a Questions and Answers document for the Aircraft Defensive Electro-optical Protection Technologies (ADEPT) solicitation (FA2377-26-R-B011) issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory. The Q&A addresses travel requirements for the Technical Area 1 (HEAT) effort, providing cost estimation guidance for interested contractors.

For cost proposal purposes, contractors should assume two trips annually, each lasting three days in duration. One trip is to Eglin Air Force Base in Niceville, Florida, and the other is to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. This guidance clarifies travel expectations and enables offerors to accurately estimate travel costs when preparing their proposals for the HEAT technical area, which focuses on developing pre-emptive or reactive countermeasure solutions in the electro-optical spectrum to protect U.S. aircraft and aircrew in contested environments.
