About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory is soliciting proposals to develop an E region climatology model and ionospheric power propagation model. The models aim to improve understanding of sporadic E occurrence and morphology for incorporation into regional and global ionospheric models. Proposals must address the objectives in the attached Statement of Work and include a technical approach meeting all requirements. Proposals will be evaluated based on overall scientific and technical merit, importance to the program, and available funding. Proposals are due by July 7, 2023.
There is no set-aside designation. The work is anticipated to be performed in the United States under NAICS code 541715 and PSC code R425. The total anticipated value is $1.35 million to be awarded to at least one contractor through a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract over a 39-month period of performance. Deliverables include the E Region Climatology Model, monthly status reports, final reports, and data. Evaluation is expected to result in award of one contract, but the agency reserves the right to make multiple awards.

*UPDATED ON 8 JUNE 2023 TO CORRECT THE PSC CODE FROM AC23 TO AC12.*
REQUIREMENT INFORMATION:
1. BACKGROUND: The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Space Vehicles Directorate (RV) Geospace Technologies Division (RVB) Geospace Environment Impacts and Applications Branch’s
(RVBX) Space Environment Exploitation and Mitigation (SEEM) program is interested in applied research and development and advanced technology to help mitigate space environmental impacts on Department of Defense (DoD) operational systems. The SEEM Program full text FA9453-19-S-0001 outlines the general objectives of the Technical Topic Area A: Solar, Solar Wind, and Ionospheric Effects of this Call.
2. DESCRIPTION: As part of the SEEM Program research mission requirements, there is a demand to implement climatology based Sporadic E models within regional and global ionospheric models. These models help inform our overall picture of the space environment and ultimately specify impacts to DoD systems. Current operational E Region models do not factor in the effects of Sporadic E, which can have a strong impact on HF Propagation and coherence bandwidth. We are seeking a better fundamental understanding of where and when sporadic E is likely to occur as well as morphological characteristics like extent and maximum blanketing frequency. By utilizing regional or global climatologies AFRL believes that better models of the space environment can be constructed to provide more accurate information and better meet the needs of the DoD.
3. OBJECTIVE: See attached Statement of Objectives (SOO) entitled, “Topic : Solar, Solar Wind, and Ionospheric Effects Characterization of E Region of the Ionosphere,” dated 5 May 2023, for specifics to this Call. The SOO, included as Attachment 1, provides the Government’s overall objectives for this solicitation. Offerors shall use the SOO, together with other applicable portions of this Call, as the basis for preparing their proposal, including the Contract Statement of Work (CSOW) and milestones. The offerors shall ensure all aspects of the SOO are addressed. The CSOW should specify in clear, understandable terms the work to be done in meeting the SOO. Preparation of an effective CSOW requires an understanding of the technical aspects that are needed to satisfy a particular objective and an ability to define what is required in specific, performance based, quantitative terms. The offerors understanding of both required technical skills, and work effort required should be fully demonstrated in the offeror's proposed CSOW. The offeror shall use its proposed CSOW to prepare data requirements and milestones. All data requirements shall be traceable to specific tasks defined in the CSOW.
