About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is soliciting proposals for the Sensing Operation Using Prediction (SOUP) program under the Autonomous Decisions, Algorithms, and Modeling (ADAM) Multiple Authority Announcement. The program seeks to develop new algorithms for tracking and sensor resource management, with specific objectives including modifying existing algorithms, conducting combat identification (CID) effectiveness experiments, integrating with other CID algorithm improvement efforts, and simulating scenarios to measure algorithm performance. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical innovation, understanding of technical objectives, soundness of approach, and potential for transitioning research to future government needs. The solicitation is a 1-STEP CALL FOR PROPOSALS with a proposal due date of May 28, 2025 at 3:00 pm local time, and an anticipated award date of July 25, 2025. Offerors must submit technical and cost proposals separately, with technical proposals limited to 30 pages, and demonstrate adaptability to Joint Multi-Platform Advanced Combat ID (JMAC) features.
The contract is an unrestricted solicitation with a total estimated program cost of $3 million, anticipated to be awarded as a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract with a 36-month period of performance. Funding is planned across fiscal years 2025-2028, with allocations of $300K in FY25, $1M in FY26, $1M in FY27, and $700K in FY28. The place of performance is Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio (45433). Foreign participation is not authorized at the prime contractor level, and only U.S. persons are eligible for award. The highest security classification for this effort is Secret, and proposals with secret-level information will be submitted through SIPR. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541715 with a size standard of 500 employees, and small businesses are encouraged to propose. The government will not provide physical equipment but will furnish some software and data to support the research and development effort.
