About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Air Force Research Laboratory is conducting a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) under Project Kaiju to procure research and development services in advanced electronic warfare (EW) technologies designed to ensure future dominance of the U.S. and allied nations within the electromagnetic spectrum across all domains. The BAA solicits proposals for work in multiple technical areas including data collection, artificial intelligence and machine learning, modeling and simulation, algorithm design and development, hardware development, testing, and analysis. Key requirements include that contractors must possess appropriate security clearances (ranging up to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information), maintain active DD2345 certifications, comply with Science and Technology Protection protocols, and be registered with the Defense Logistics Agency due to export control restrictions. Evaluation criteria emphasize technical merit, relationship to Department of Defense missions, Gold Standard Science implementation, immediate demonstrable results, and cost realism. The BAA remains open for calls until May 12, 2027, and interested parties must continue monitoring SAM.gov for individual call opportunities that will request white papers and full proposals.

This is an unrestricted solicitation with no set-aside designation, open to businesses and educational institutions of all sizes, though foreign entities cannot serve as prime contractors due to export control restrictions. The total estimated program value is $300,000,000, with the Air Force anticipating approximately eight contracts with individual award values ranging from $1,000,000 to $95,000,000. Awards will be made on a Cost Plus Fixed Fee basis or through Other Transactions for Prototype or Research, grants, or cooperative agreements, and the Air Force reserves the right to issue more or fewer calls and award zero, one, or multiple contracts to individual offerors. The period of performance spans from the current date through May 12, 2027, with contract performance periods of multiple years as specified in individual calls. There are no cost-sharing requirements, and proposals will be submitted through individual calls on either a one-step or two-step basis via DoD SAFE and email to the designated Contracting Officers.
