ManTech special Broad Agency Announcement (sBAA): Accelerating Maritime Modernization: Innovation in Naval Manufacturing, Sustainment, and Industrial Base Capability
Solicitation # N0001426SB002
The Office of Naval Research is soliciting innovations through Special Broad Agency Announcement N0001426SB002 to accelerate maritime modernization by improving manufacturing speed, throughput, and industrial base resiliency. The program focuses on developing and transitioning advanced manufacturing technologies that enhance the efficiency of shipyards, maintenance depots, and supply chain partners, specifically supporting the Golden Fleet Initiative to maximize the readiness and longevity of naval assets. The effort is divided into two phases, with Phase I targeting immediate, high-value technological efforts and Phase II focusing on emerging future needs. Key technology areas of interest include composites, welding, AR/VR, digital shipyard support, and advanced packaging for electronic systems. Awards may be issued as procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements with a typical period of performance between one and two years. Funding for Phase I projects is categorized into 6.2 awards ranging from 500,000 to 3 million dollars and 6.3 awards ranging from 1.5 million to 5 million dollars. Selection is based primarily on technical merit, Navy relevance, funds availability, and small business participation. This is not a small business set-aside and is open to all responsible sources under NAICS code 541715. Eligible offerors must maintain active SAM registration, a valid Unique Entity Identifier, and a CAGE code. Critical compliance requirements include CMMC Level 2 Self-certification prior to award and a Joint Certification Program certification. Proposals must include a credible transition plan to a naval platform or industrial facility and demonstrate a quantifiable impact on the production or sustainment lifecycle. Submissions are managed through the ONR Submission Portal, though classified proposals must be delivered to the ONR Document Control Unit in Arlington, Virginia.

2026 Request for White Papers: NASA SBIR/STTR Phase II Sequential Awards
Solicitation # 80NSSC26R0014
NASA is conducting a portfolio evaluation through the 2026 Request for White Papers (Solicitation 80NSSC26R0014) to identify promising SBIR Phase II technologies for potential Sequential Phase II awards. These anticipated awards, valued between $2.5 million and $4 million, are intended to facilitate rapid post-Phase II development and technology infusion into key NASA programs. Amendment 1 has expanded eligibility to include STTR participants and firms with non-NASA prior Phase II awards. The primary objective is to map existing technologies to NASA mission priorities and provide a participatory method for small businesses to signal their readiness to support agency goals. While this call serves as a programmatic planning exercise and does not constitute a formal funding opportunity or guarantee of awards, NASA notionally anticipates reaching out to invited firms around January 2027. Interested respondents must submit a single white paper document, not exceeding 10 pages, along with a summary budget and briefing chart via the ProSAMS portal by the deadline of September 11, 2026. Submissions must include mandatory electronic forms such as Firm Certifications, Audit Information, and Disclosures of Foreign Affiliations. Evaluation will focus on Technology Readiness Level (TRL) advancement, risk reduction for NASA programs, flight demonstration readiness, and commercialization potential. The scope of work emphasizes the development of integrated systems, such as Orbital Maneuvering Vehicles for cislunar and deep space missions, requiring high performance in propulsion, communications, and radiation tolerance. NASA reserves the right to use the submitted information for any purpose and takes no financial responsibility for expenses incurred during the response process.

Key responsibilities for the selected contractor will include participant recruitment, the procurement of mobile examination units for clinical exams, the development and maintenance of a web-based data collection system, and the provision of community outreach through lay reports. The government anticipates an award around May 2027 for a performance period of four years and four months. Interested small businesses must submit a capability statement not exceeding 15 single-sided pages by May 27, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EST. These statements must detail the organization's total employee count, the professional qualifications of its scientific and technical personnel, available facilities and equipment, and experience with similar research projects. Respondents must also provide their Small Business Administration size certification and socioeconomic status, such as HUBZone, veteran-owned, or woman-owned. While this notice is not a formal solicitation, it establishes the framework for a future acquisition that will require robust quality assurance programs and specific insurance coverage for mobile examination units against theft, weather, and liability.
