The Air Force Research Laboratory intends to award a sole source contract to Minerva Engineering Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, for the engineering, design, and science and technology support related to developing and validating competency-based warfighter training systems. The contract focuses on providing technical expertise for designing, testing, and evaluating innovative untethered, high-fidelity simulation technologies that enhance performance within Air Force, Joint, and Coalition Air and Space Warfighting Systems. Key tasks include creating interchangeable simulation architectures for Joint Close Air Support (JCAS) systems, integrating untethered designs with Joint Terminal Attack Control (JTAC) simulation for Battlefield Air Operations toolkits, and supporting close air support systems for Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) units. The notice invites other service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses capable of meeting these requirements to submit their qualifications within 15 days of the synopsis publication. Late or incomplete responses will not be considered. The contract will be managed through the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, with Kristina J Croake as the contracting officer. Additional business opportunities and information can be found through official Air Force channels.

AFRL Enterprise CSO: Centralized Open Spiral
Solicitation # FA865226SC005
Solicitation FA865226SC005 is a Centralized, Open Two-Step Spiral issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory under the Defense Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) framework in accordance with R-DFARS 212.70. The government is seeking Commercial Solutions Brief (CSB) submissions for innovative solutions ranging from advanced component development to operational systems development, specifically limited to Foundational Technologies (AFRL/RE). This procurement follows a two-step process where only CSB submissions are currently requested; offerors must be categorized as Selectable during the Step One evaluation to be invited to Step Two, which involves the submission of a Commercial Solutions Proposal (CSP). The deadline for Step One CSB submissions is 5:00 PM Eastern on April 30, 2027. Submissions must align with the Areas of Interest identified in Attachment 1 of the AFRL Enterprise CSO and follow the formatting instructions in Section 7 and Attachment 2 of the main announcement. While there is no limit on the number of CSBs a single offeror may submit, each must present a unique approach. Submissions should be emailed to [email hidden], though those containing Controlled Unclassified Information must be transmitted via the DoD SAFE system. This spiral was noted as cancelled effective June 4, 2026, with future spirals transitioning to a decentralized model issued by respective Mission Organizations.
