About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorate seeks proposals through October 4, 2019 to develop lightweight materials for facility hardening against electromagnetic pulses and next-generation reentry vehicle thermal protection with integrated radiation shielding under a Broad Agency Announcement. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical approach, past performance, and price. Awards from $400,000 to $1,000,000 are expected to be made by October 17, 2019 to advance technologies to TRL 5/6, including demonstration of EMP-hardened facilities meeting all standards by the end of the second year.
There is no set-aside designated for this opportunity. Research will be conducted under NAICS codes 541715 and 336413 with an anticipated total program budget of $8.9 million over five years. Successful proposals must demonstrate innovative technical approaches, qualified personnel, and realistic costs for work conducted domestically at contractor facilities. Classified materials up to the Secret level may be required, necessitating a Secret facility clearance.
