The Department of Defense, specifically the USAF AFMC AFRL, has awarded contract FA865022C2401 to General Electric Company for the development of compact power generation solutions for long-duration hypersonic vehicles. Valued at 8,482,021.49 dollars, this cost-no-fee research effort is currently non-competed and is expected to conclude around November 12, 2026. The project focuses on evaluating high TRL solutions to create a prototype design, moving from initial modeling and optimization studies in the base period to subsystem component fabrication in the first option and final ground testing in the second option. While the current award is not competed, it is identified as a likely recompete opportunity, although the confidence level for this prediction is low at 35 percent. The work is performed in Niskayuna, New York, under NAICS code 541715. The primary objective remains the advancement of power generation capabilities to support future hypersonic vehicle integration.

Predicted recompete opportunity based on federal award data.
Current Contract: FA865022C2401 Incumbent: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY Contract Value: $8,482,021.49 Potential End Date: 2026-11-12T00:00:00.000Z Competition: NOT COMPETED Pricing: COST NO FEE Classification: recompete-likely (Confidence: low - 35/100)
This award is based off a white paper submitted in response to a BAA. This is not a firm-fixed price contract due to the research nature of the effort. This effort will seek to evaluate various high TRL Compact Power Generation solutions to develop a prototype design for use in future hypersonic vehicles. More specifically, during the Base effort, the offeror will develop several models and run optimization studies to maximize system performance. During the Option 1 effort, the offeror will assess the design of subsystem components. It will then fabricate all necessary components in-house. Finally, during the Option 2 effort, the offeror will provide test plans and ground test the prototype.

Atomically Precise Molecules (APM)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-141
The Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program, solicitation DARPA-PS-26-141, is a 36-month initiative by the DARPA Multi X Office seeking innovative synthesis techniques for programmable precision polymers (PPPs) and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The program aims to develop scalable materials with strictly controlled monomer sequences and compositions, culminating in a prototype NLO material integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator capable of achieving greater than 1THz modulation. The effort is structured in two phases, with Phase I lasting 12 months and focusing on synthesis capabilities. Research limited to inorganic materials or incremental improvements to existing state-of-the-art practices is specifically excluded. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements, with payments processed through the Wide Area Workflow system based on a schedule of milestones. Proposals are due by December 18, 2026, via the Broad Agency Announcement Tool and must include technical, management, and pricing volumes. Eligibility is restricted to U.S. organizations, and all performers must comply with CMMC Level 2 self-certification and NIST SP 800-171 standards for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information. Evaluation will be based on technical approach, relevance to the DARPA mission, budget realism, and the capability to transition the technology to military or commercial sectors.

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.
