Mobile Integrated Launch Capability
Solicitation # 26-MDA-12366
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is seeking industry partners to develop a Mobile Integrated Launch Capability (MILC) to replace or augment current air-drop C-17 target launch systems through a two-phase contract effort. Phase I focuses on detailed design, engagement analysis, and cost estimation for candidate concepts, while Phase II involves prototyping, ground testing, and live launch of a selected target system from a global location. Proposals must demonstrate an innovative, novel approach with high execution potential, strong alignment with MDA’s mission objectives, and a fast-paced schedule that enables frequent testing, all while maintaining low lifecycle costs. Offerors are required to submit a white paper not exceeding ten pages in a specific format with sections including an executive summary, program description, milestone chart, prior work, and a Rough Order of Magnitude. White papers may be submitted at Unclassified, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), or Secret levels, with strict handling protocols for CUI and Secret materials, including banner and portion markings and restricted distribution statements like FEDONLY or FEDCON. Secure submissions must use approved channels including SIPRnet, courier, or hard copy only; electronic files must be unzipped, unpassworded, and under 10MB for unclassified submissions. Contract performance will require an active Secret Facility Clearance Level and compliance with Secret safeguarding standards, as verified by MDA prior to award. Offerors must also disclose any Organizational Conflicts of Interest using the MDA Form DA-78-F2, and adhere to FAR and DFARS provisions regarding procurement integrity, cybersecurity (NIST SP 800-171, CMMC), export controls (ITAR/EAR), and government rights in technical data. The contract may be awarded as a fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, or Other Transaction Agreement, with selection based on a trade-off evaluation emphasizing technical merit and strategic value over lowest cost. Performance periods are set at up to six months for Phase I and twenty-four months for Phase II, though objectives are 3 and 12 months respectively. All work will be performed with the primary point of performance at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, though launch operations are designed for global deployment. No formal packaging, preservation, or physical item marking standards are specified, though use of COTS/GOTS components and open architecture is required. The solicitation remains open with no firm deadline, accepting submissions continuously via email until further notice, with offerors responsible for maintaining active SAM registration, providing updated UEI

HADES (Hybrid Architecture and Development for Experimental Systems) Request for Proposal
Solicitation # FA8809-26-R-B002
The Hybrid Architecture and Development for Experimental Systems (HADES) contract, identified by solicitation FA8809-26-R-B002, is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicle issued by the Space Systems Command’s Innovation and Prototyping Delta at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. The base ordering period spans three years from February 2027 through February 2030, with four one-year option periods available, potentially extending performance through February 2034. The contract supports satellite ground system engineering, development, integration, and sustainment services, primarily at the Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation Support Complex (RSC) at Kirtland AFB, utilizing a mix of Cost-Reimbursable with Cost-Plus-Award-Fee, Firm-Fixed-Price, and Cost-type contract line items. All personnel must hold at least a Secret clearance, with many roles requiring Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) eligibility due to the classified nature of the RSC environment and mission-critical operations. The contract is structured around task orders issued during the ordering period, with pricing determined at the task order level and structured to comply with fiscal law requirements, including annual pricing as outlined in Section L Appendix A and Section M Table 27. The technical evaluation criteria are prioritized in a strict hierarchy: Technical > Past Performance > Cost/Price, with no numerical weights applied. The Technical factor, which is the most critical, has been refined into five subfactors: Program Management Administrative Requirements (Pass/Fail), Program Management Staffing/Labor Profile (Adjectival), Program Management Emerging Requirements Response (Adjectival and the primary discriminator), Systems Engineering Approach and Methodology (Adjectival), and Systems Engineering Configuration Management (Pass/Fail). The Emerging Requirements Response subfactor serves as the key differentiator among proposals. Past Performance will be assessed holistically for confidence in successful execution, while Cost/Price is evaluated for reasonableness and consistency but considered least important in the trade-off. Offerors must submit proposals in five volumes with strict page limits, excluding certain front matter from counts. The evaluation is a best-value trade-off, not a lowest-price, technically acceptable approach. Section L imposes significant requirements including a mandatory OCI Mitigation Plan, compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards via NIST SP 800-171, implementation of a Small Business Subcontracting Plan, and workforce constraints including a maximum of

RFI for Next Generation Hypersonic Cruise Missiles
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-26-93
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is seeking industry input through a Request for Information to shape the future acquisition strategy for a potential program focused on next-generation hypersonic cruise missiles. This RFI, issued under solicitation number DARPA-SN-26-93 and posted on August 7, 2026, with responses due by October 6, 2026, aims to refine technical specifications, validate programmatic assumptions, and guide the development of a competitive solicitation. The agency is particularly interested in fostering innovative partnerships between traditional defense contractors, non-traditional industry players, technology developers, and specialized test and evaluation providers to advance capabilities in this high-priority domain. Responses will directly inform DARPA’s understanding of current industry capabilities and potential pathways for innovation. The effort falls under NAICS code 541715, indicating a focus on research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. All submissions must be directed to the TTO Acquisition Team at DARPA-SN-26-93@darpa.mil, and no set-aside status is anticipated, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible entities regardless of size or status. The office is located in Arlington, Virginia, and while the place of performance has not been specified, the program is expected to involve nationwide collaboration and testing. This RFI serves as a precursor to a future formal solicitation, positioning industry to align its capabilities with DARPA’s strategic goals in hypersonic systems and to position itself for upcoming contract opportunities.
