About this opportunity

This solicitation seeks proposals for two indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts to perform research and development in agile and resilient platform architectures for the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical qualifications, past performance, and price/cost, with the deadline for questions being November 23, 2020 and proposals due by December 21, 2020. Task Order 0001 involves resilient avionics development while Task Order 0002 focuses on an open digital automated architecture.

There is no set-aside designation. Potentially relevant NAICS codes include 541712 and PSC codes include R425 and R408. Prior related work was performed by Ball Aerospace, SiCORE, Leidos, and Riverside Research, with the total estimated value of the call being $200 million to be awarded across two IDIQ contracts over five years. Performance will take place at government facilities requiring eligible offerors to have the appropriate security clearances, as the work involves secret and top secret national intelligence information.
