STAR-FISH CALL 017 - Secure By Design
Solicitation # FA945326XA001
The Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Vehicles Directorate, is soliciting white papers under CALL 017 of the Space Technology Advanced Research - Fast-tracking Innovative Software and Hardware (STAR-FISH) program. This effort, titled Secure by Design Space Vehicle (SDSV), aims to mitigate cyber threats to critical national space missions, including Satellite Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, Missile Warning/Missile Tracking, and Positioning, Navigation, and Timing. The project involves the research, design, development, and demonstration of a cyber-hardened space vehicle system, featuring the construction of a space vehicle flat-sat and a corresponding cyber range, software hardening, and both ground-based and on-orbit experimentation. The procurement follows a two-step process, beginning with the submission of unclassified white papers and rough order of magnitude cost estimates due by 1600 MST on November 13, 2026. Selected offerors will then be invited to submit full proposals. The government anticipates awarding multiple Cost Plus Fixed Fee contracts with a total estimated funding of 14 million dollars distributed from fiscal years 2027 through 2030. Awards will include a base period and two option periods. Eligible offerors must operate under NAICS code 541715 and maintain an approved accounting system. Submissions must be made via DoD Safe using the provided template and include the company's Unique Entity ID and CAGE code. Evaluation will be based on a weight of scientific evidence approach, prioritizing technical merit, relevance to DOD missions, and cost realism. Security requirements range from CUI to Secret, and offerors must perform an Organizational Conflict of Interest analysis as part of their submission.

Cyclotron Beam Time for AFRL/RJ
Solicitation # FA945327XQ001
The Air Force Research Lab Space Warfare Directorate is issuing a Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Proposed Contract Action for cyclotron beam time to support radiation tolerance characterization of focal plane arrays, detector test chips, and sensing materials for space operation. The government intends to award a sole source contract to the University of California Davis for the use of its cyclotron at the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and 41 U.S.C. 1901 for commercial products and services, utilizing NAICS code 541380. The requirement specifies 40 hours of continuous proton beam time over one continuous week with an 85 percent duty cycle. Technical specifications require a continuous proton beam with flux between 10^0 and 10^10 protons/cm2 s, energy up to 63 MeV at a maximum current of 100 nA, and a beam diameter of at least 3 inches with over 95 percent uniformity within a 2.0 cm radius. Key deliverables include a beam dosimetry report delivered within one business day of the government's departure. The contractor must provide 24/7 building access during the beam time week, usage of the South Cave room for setup and teardown, radiation dosimeters for personnel, and parking for one trailer and four vehicles. Interested parties must submit a statement of interest demonstrating technical capability by October 22, 2026.

Space Environment Technologies and Science (SETS) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
Solicitation # FA9453-23-R-X001
The Space Environment Technologies and Science (SETS) Program is a Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory to support research into space and environmental impacts technologies. The program aims to quantify how the space environment affects Department of Defense and national security systems to develop capabilities for specifying, predicting, mitigating, and exploiting environmental effects. Research is focused on five primary technical areas: Solar, Solar Wind, and Ionospheric Effects; Thermosphere, Satellite Drag and the Reentry Environment; Plasma Physics and Chemistry; Particle Effects and Radiation Belt Environment; and the Cislunar Environment. The program seeks to improve observing systems and prediction models for solar activity, ionospheric conditions, and radiation belts, while analyzing impacts on communication, radar, and positioning, navigation, and timing systems. This is a closed BAA that remains active for eight years, with specific requirements and deadlines issued through individual Calls. The government utilizes a one-step or two-step submission process, where white papers are evaluated based on technical merit and affordability before a formal request for proposal is issued. Awards are based on a peer or scientific review process, with overall scientific and technical merit serving as the primary priority. Deliverables may include hardware, software, prototypes, and various technical reports. All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management and provide a Unique Entity Identification number. While the program is unrestricted and encourages participation from small businesses and minority institutions, certain awards may require a classified facility clearance of Secret or higher. Estimated program funding from FY24 to FY31 is approximately 98.5 million dollars, though this is an estimate and not a contractual obligation.
