About this file
This document is an Advanced Research Announcement (ARA) Amendment for Call 003, issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory's Energy Office. The ARA focuses on a Government Requirement for Advanced Power and Energy (GRAPE) with solicitation number FA8650-18-S-5008, targeting research and development in power and energy technologies. The document highlights two key points: first, distribution is restricted to the Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors, with foreign participation potentially limited, and second, Technology Readiness Level (TRL) will not be used as an evaluation factor for award. The final contract deliverable must be designed so that a third party can provide maintenance and operation after contract completion.
The solicitation is classified under NAICS Code 541715 with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. Potential offerors must ensure access to the solicitation and associated documents is limited to authorized personnel with a need-to-know, and the government will verify eligibility before providing access to controlled unclassified information (CUI). Foreign-owned firms are advised to consult with the Contracting Officer before responding, as restrictions may preclude their participation in this acquisition.
