Advanced Aerospace Systems Technology Research

The Air Force Research Laboratory seeks proposals through a Broad Agency Announcement for the Advanced Aerospace Systems Technology Research program. This program will award multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts totaling $400 million over seven years to conduct research in aerospace vehicle technologies, designs, and integrated systems. Proposals are due by June 14, 2022 and will be evaluated based on technical, management, and cost factors to support research across Air Force mission areas in areas such as aerospace vehicles, control sciences, high speed systems, and turbine engines.

There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. Research will be conducted under NAICS code 541715 and PSC code R408 with individual task orders initially valued at $100,000. Incumbent contractors include traditional defense firms with experience in aeronautics R&D. Place of performance will be contractor and government facilities with a requirement for facility security clearance at the Secret level. Research must enable capabilities related to complexity, unpredictability, mass, speed and reach, global persistent awareness, and enduring technologies.
