The Air Force Research Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base is conducting a market research effort through a Sources Sought and Request for Information notice to identify industry capabilities for a 137-actuator Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) Deformable Mirror intended for use in hypersonic electro-optical/infrared sensing research at the KHILS Laboratory. This device must feature a continuous membrane design with a controllable aperture between 4mm and 8mm, capable of precise wavefront control with a 5.5µm actuator stroke, response times of 450/650 microseconds, less than 23% inter-actuator coupling, no hysteresis, sub-nanometer average step size, and a surface figure under 20nm RMS. The mirror must transmit over 95% of light across the 1.5 to 5.0µm infrared band, operate with a 2kHz driver frame rate and 14-bit resolution, and be calibrated and driven in an open-loop fashion. It must also include a driver electronics interface certificate detailing volatile and non-volatile memory and instructions for clearing user-accessible memory. Delivery is expected within 14 weeks or less at the performance location in Goulds, Florida. All responses must be submitted electronically to Jason Sav at [email hidden] by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, with the exact subject line “SS-AFRL-RIZ-2026-0021 AFRL/RWTSH Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) Deformable Mirror (DM)” to ensure delivery through federal email filters, which block .zip and .exe attachments. Submitters are required to provide their company name, address, CAGE code, technical and contractual point of contact, and must declare their small business status under NAICS code 333310, including any applicable certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, EDWOSB, or WOSB. Capability packages must include detailed descriptions of relevant experience, product specifications matching the Minimum Requirements Document dated June 1, 2026, identification of potential teammates or subcontractors, an assessment of risks or unknowns impacting delivery, and disclosure of any active GSA contract for the item.

711th HPW Mission Support Services MAC IDIQ
Solicitation # FA239626RB008
The 711th Human Performance Wing (HPW) Mission Support Services contract is a 100% competitive 8(a) set-aside Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle. Managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the contract has an estimated maximum value of $505,000,000.00 with a five-year ordering period and a six-year period of performance. The scope of work involves providing Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) and non-personal medical clinical, management, and certified laboratory support services across multiple locations, including Wright-Patterson AFB and the Naval Medical Research Unit-Dayton. The contract utilizes a mix of Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Time and Materials (T&M) pricing arrangements, with a minimum guarantee provided via the first task order for the kick-off meeting. Award is based on a technical threshold approach where the government intends to award contracts to all responsible offerors who achieve a minimum validated score of 1,740 points on a self-scoring technical capability worksheet. Cost and price are not evaluated at the IDIQ level; instead, they are determined during the fair opportunity proposal request process for individual task orders. Key requirements for offerors include maintaining an active Government Secret or higher Facility Security Clearance (FCL), with some task orders requiring Top Secret and SCI access. Performance is monitored through a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) focusing on staffing continuity, workforce stability, and security compliance. Proposals are due by October 30, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EDT.
