About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Jan 1, 2024

This pre-solicitation notice seeks proposals to conduct research and development in support of enabling technologies for sustained supersonic combustion applicable to future high-speed aircraft and hypersonic vehicles. The Air Force Research Laboratory intends to award one or more cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts valued at an estimated $75.8 million over multiple fiscal years. Proposals are due by September 18, 2020 and should address two technical areas and include task order statements of work not exceeding 12 pages each. Evaluation will be based on technical merit, past performance, and cost/price factors.

There is no set-aside designation. The primary NAICS codes are 541715 and 336411, with PSC codes R408 and R425. Current contractors were not named. Research is to investigate fundamental phenomena and develop advanced engine components and airframe structures over periods of performance up to 84 months. Task orders will fund experimental and computational research at government test facilities to be conducted under contracts with periods of 27 months and estimated values from $2.5 to $75.7 million to be allocated across fiscal years 2021-2028.
