About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Air Warfare Directorate, announced on September 1, 2026 its intent to issue a focused call under the active Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA2391-23-S-2403, "Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering & Research (PACER)," with responses due by September 15, 2026.
The call will solicit innovative solutions for producing an operationally relevant air-launched hypersonic weapon at less than one-fifth the cost and greater than five times the production rate of current systems. AFRL encourages offerors to propose modular, open architectures and aggressively apply design-for-manufacturing and digital engineering principles. Evaluation will proceed in a single round, with offerors invited to submit full technical and cost proposals. Specific technical objectives, evaluation criteria, anticipated funding, period of performance, and submission instructions will be detailed when the amendment is posted. The focused call is expected to be released as an amendment to the parent BAA on SAM.gov within the next 15 days. Interested parties should monitor SAM.gov for the official call release and associated attachments. Contact Timothy Eymann, Program Manager, for technical questions and Eric Carretta, Contracting Officer, for contracting matters.
