Minuteman III (MMIII) Guidance Study Data Call

The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center is seeking input from qualified contractors to support the extended operational life of the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile guidance system through the year 2050. This data call, issued under solicitation number FA8204-26-R-GSDC, aims to gather technical information on potential methods, technologies, and strategies that could enhance the longevity, reliability, and performance of the guidance system amid aging infrastructure and evolving security requirements. The solicitation is not a request for proposals or a contract award but a preliminary information-gathering effort to inform future planning and decision-making. Responses must be submitted by May 30, 2026, and should be directed to Tanner Nielsen at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, the designated point of contact. The opportunity is unrestricted with no set-aside provisions and falls under NAICS code 541330 for engineering services. Interested parties are encouraged to review the details through the official SAM.gov link and ensure their submissions address the technical scope and long-term sustainment goals outlined in the notice, as this effort directly supports the continued viability of a critical component of the United States nuclear deterrent force.
