Intent to Sole Source Self-Aligning Focus Schlieren System
Solicitation # FA860127Q0017
The United States Air Force, through AFLCMC/PZIBA, intends to award a firm fixed price sole source contract to RH Technologies LLC for the acquisition of a Self-Aligning Focus Schlieren System for the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. This procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and is justified under FAR 13-106-1(b)(1) and FAR 5.207(c)(15), as RH Technologies LLC is identified as the only source capable of meeting the government's technical requirements. The system must utilize a proprietary method licensed from NASA and feature a self-aligning optical design with a passive retroreflective surface, providing vibration resistance and the ability to visualize a thin, precise plane within a flow field without the need for external digital displays. The contractor is required to deliver one complete optical head in a portable enclosure, a compatible mounting system, and full user documentation within three months of contract approval. The scope of work includes in-person installation, verification, and user training, with all associated costs, shipping, and insurance included in the proposal. Payment is contingent upon a satisfactory acceptance test, and the system must be warranted against defects in material and workmanship for one year after receipt. Interested parties were given a window to submit capability statements or exceptions to the sole source intent by November 2, 2026.

Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Post-delivery support of developed space and ground hardware and software
Solicitation # FA254826RB008
The Space Rapid Capabilities Office (Space RCO) intends to award a sole-source contract to Systems & Technology Research, LLC for post-delivery support of developed space and ground hardware and software. This effort focuses on providing systems engineering support for the verification, validation, and on-orbit troubleshooting of payloads, as well as transitioning a prototype ground system to full operational capability (FOC) within six months of the award to proceed. Key technical requirements include the development of a new graphical user interface, integration of mission-unique software, enhanced telemetry processing for 24/7 operations, and direct integration with the R2C2 Acme Ground Segment using cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity best practices. The contract is structured with multiple CLINs utilizing Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Time and Materials (T&M), and Cost Only (No Fee) pricing models. The period of performance includes a mix of one and two-year base periods with multiple one-year option extensions. While the government intends to proceed with a sole-source award under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the contractor's role as the original developer, other responsible sources may submit capability statements by November 4, 2026. To be considered viable, any alternative response must explicitly prove the ability to achieve FOC within six months and demonstrate integration with the R2C2 Acme Ground Segment without relying on proprietary data.

SBIR / STTR
Agile Wire Harness Manipulation and Installation for Unmanned Aerial Systems
Solicitation # DAF27BZ01-DV011
Solicitation DAF27BZ01-DV011 is a Department of the Air Force Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR effort seeking a modular, agile robotic manufacturing workcell to automate the routing and installation of flexible wire harnesses for Unmanned Aerial Systems and advanced munitions, such as the Coyote and Franklin Affordable Mass Missile families. The project aims to eliminate manual assembly bottlenecks by transitioning a TRL 4 proof-of-concept into a production-ready system capable of sub-millimeter positioning tolerances of 0.5 mm or less. Key technical requirements include the integration of a COTS collaborative arm with a multi-modal sensor stack for real-time adaptive control, the ability to retask the system for new harness families within eight hours, and the creation of a digital thread for traceability. Successful implementation is expected to increase throughput by two to four times and reduce skilled labor hours by at least 50 percent. This total small business set-aside has a maximum value of 2,000,000 dollars over a 24-month period of performance, with an additional 50,000 dollars available for Technical and Business Assistance. Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, innovation, investigator qualifications, and commercial potential. Awardees must provide a fully functional robotic workcell, the complete autonomous software stack, a cross-program retasking report, and a comprehensive technical data package. Compliance requirements include adherence to CMMC cybersecurity standards, ITAR/EAR export controls, and military standard compliance. Proposals must be submitted via the DSIP portal and are subject to strict formatting and single-proposal limits per small business concern.
