About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force's Air Force Global Strike Command, through the Rapid Capabilities Division, seeks revolutionary or innovative prototype solutions for five 2027 showcase topics via a blanket Other Transaction (OT) solicitation, with Phase 1 submissions due January 15, 2027. The notice carries no set-aside, and the OTA ordering period runs through July 16, 2031 under 10 U.S.C. 4022. The 2027 showcase supersedes the 2026 topics and deadlines in earlier updates.
Place of performance is listed as Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, and Phase 2 live presentations and demonstrations are held in Bossier City, Louisiana. Eligible participants include domestic and international firms, excluding those in restricted countries or with significant foreign ownership, along with individuals, academic institutions, and government entities. Offerors must obtain a Unique Entity ID and register in SAM before award.
Phase 1 requires a white paper (four pages maximum, PDF), a one-page quad chart, and an optional five- to six-minute video hosted on Vimeo, submitted through Valid Eval and identifying one showcase topic. Submission costs are not reimbursable. Phase 2 presentations occur May 12-13, 2027, with Phase 3 selections notified May 14, 2027. Phase 3 finalists receive invitations to submit Commercial Solution Proposals, due June 14, 2027, consisting of a technical volume (15 pages maximum) and an Excel price proposal with monthly or milestone-based firm fixed pricing. Required deliverables include a final report and quarterly status reports.
The five 2027 topics are Project ATLAS-NC3 autonomous terminal loading and alignment; UAS threat to the ICBM environment; rapid deployable micro-climate enclosures for B-52 maintenance; a proactive pharmacy event monitor; and intelligent tool control for inventory and accountability. Finalists potentially receive a portion of up to $5 million in Command-directed acquisition funding. Evaluation criteria are program alignment, potential impact to AFGSC operations, technology and concept viability, team competitive edge, and submission quality. The government may award to all, some, or none of the solutions, with no guaranteed number of awards.
Ask Me Anything webinars are scheduled for December 8, 2026 and January 6, 2027. Questions are accepted through January 8, 2027 at AFGSC.A5N.IndustryEngagement@us.af.mil.
