NOTICE OF CONTRACT ACTION FOR NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT FOR Precision STANDOFF PRECISION IDENTIFICATION IN 3 DIMENSIONS (SPI3D) DEVELOPMENT. This is an announcement that the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) intends to award a Sole Source contract to General Atomics (GA) Photonics Division, for the purpose of continuing development of the Standoff Precision Identification in 3 Dimensions (SPI3D) laser imaging system. This effort would include but not be limited to: develop advanced sub-component designs leading to turret integration, geo-location of the targeting system, tracking capability of the targeting system, development of Pockels? cell hardware technologies and other hardware technologies, laboratory testing to verify system development and algorithm development, design of a miniaturized laser for installation in a gimbal, improvements to the optics, turret component development, integration into a turret, software improvements for system operation, software improvements for a more user friendly operator interface, development and demonstrations with initial laboratory demonstrations within six months, and support of any flight-tests and demonstrations. Vendors who are capable of providing the services stated above shall fully identify their interest and submit, in writing, information documenting their qualifications and capabilities to meet the requirements stated above within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Responses must be submitted to Dawn M Ross, Contracting Officer, via email at contact@example.gov. Responses received after 15 days or without the required information will be considered non-responsive to the synopsis, and will not be considered. Other business opportunities for the Air Force Research Laboratory are available at www.fedbizopps.gov. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within forty-five days (thirty days if award is issued under an existing basic ordering agreement) after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

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.
