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 proposals under Special Broad Agency Announcement N0001426SB002 to accelerate maritime modernization through innovations in naval manufacturing, sustainment, and industrial base capability. The program focuses on targeted improvements to speed, throughput, and resiliency within shipyards, maintenance depots, and supply chains, 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 addressing emerging future needs. Research areas of interest include composites, welding, AR/VR, digital shipyard support, and advanced packaging for rugged electronics. Awards may be issued as procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) with a typical period of performance between one and two years. Planned funding for Phase I includes 3 to 5 projects for 6.2 applied research valued between 500,000 and 3 million dollars, and 5 to 10 projects for 6.3 projects valued between 1.5 million and 5 million dollars. The solicitation is open to all responsible sources under NAICS 541715, though it is not a small business set-aside. Key requirements for offerors include an active SAM registration, a Unique Entity Identifier, and CMMC Level 2 (Self) certification prior to award. The application process begins with a required white paper and a one-page project lead resume submitted via the ONR portal. Promising candidates will be invited to submit a detailed full proposal consisting of technical and cost volumes. Evaluation is based on technical merit, Navy relevance and impact, funds availability, and small business participation, with a heavy emphasis on the technical approach and alignment with ManTech strategic objectives. Proposals are not evaluated against one another but are assessed based on their individual merit and the feasibility of their transition plans to naval platforms or industrial facilities.

FY27 Communications and Networking Applied Research Announcement for Office of Naval Research
Solicitation # N0001426SBC11
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is soliciting white papers for FY27 Applied Research projects under solicitation N0001426SBC11 to support the Navy's Information Warfare vision. The program aims to develop and mature communications and networking technologies that enhance end-to-end connectivity and quality-of-service for mission-critical information exchange among dispersed naval, joint, and coalition forces. Key focus areas include long-range VHF-band data links using 4x4 MIMO, compact electronically-steered apertures for frequencies above Ka-band, low probability-of-detection communications, distributed network control and synchronization, and predictive algorithms for network behavior and traffic engineering. The ONR is also open to other innovative ideas relevant to Navy and Marine Corps communications and networking. The selection process is multi-staged, beginning with a white paper submission due by July 31, 2026, via the ONR Submission Portal. White papers must be limited to five pages and include a technical concept, naval relevance, operational utility assessment, research benchmarks, a rough order of magnitude cost estimate, and a one-page principal investigator resume. Only applicants whose technology is determined to be of particular value will be invited to submit a detailed full proposal by November 16, 2026. The ONR plans to fund five to six individual awards, typically ranging from 250,000 to 500,000 dollars per year for a period of one to three years, with an estimated award date of April 15, 2027. Both grants and contracts may be issued, and non-small business entities are required to provide a subcontracting plan. All offerors must also comply with the Gold Science Standard per EO 14303.
