Aviation Research BAA 2025

Solicitation # 692M15-25-R-00004

The Aviation Research BAA 2025, solicitation number 692M15-25-R-00004, is a Broad Agency Announcement sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration to support research interests at the William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace and other FAA organizations. The BAA is open for a ten-year period from December 5, 2024, through December 4, 2034. It seeks white papers and proposals from diverse entities, including industry, academia, and small businesses, to develop scientific solutions for air transportation challenges across five program branches: Fire Safety, Airport Technology R&D, Software and Systems, Structures and Propulsion, and Separation Standards Analysis. Recent amendments have specifically highlighted research needs in airport pavement design, construction, and monitoring, including the use of embedded acoustic sensors and the enhancement of BAKFAA backcalculation software. Awards are made bilaterally based on a favorable technical feasibility assessment, with cost analyzed for reasonableness and affordability rather than being scored. While the FAA prefers Firm Fixed-Price awards for initial phases, it has historically utilized Other Transaction Agreements. Performance periods are generally between 12 and 36 months, with tasks exceeding three years not being considered. Funding varies by project, with some rough order of magnitude estimates ranging from 200,000 dollars to 3 million dollars per project per fiscal year. Interested offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management and submit proposals in two volumes: a 25-page technical volume and a 10-page cost volume, accompanied by a formal cover letter.

Solicitation # 697DCK-26-R-00423

Screening Information Request 697DCK-26-R-00423 is a competitive selection process for the Federal Aviation Administration's BEYOND Phase 2 program, managed by the Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Advanced Air Mobility Integration Office. This initiative seeks to award up to eight Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) to State, Local, Tribal, or Territorial governments to advance Unmanned Aircraft Systems integration, specifically focusing on operations that are bigger, higher, and farther. The program is organized around four programmatic focus areas: infrastructure, scalability, safety, and automation, while addressing operational challenges such as public safety, controlled airspace, remote and rural areas, on-airport operations, and cross-border activities. This selection process is not a standard procurement and does not provide FAA funding, as each party is responsible for its own costs. The period of performance for awarded OTAs begins on the date of award and terminates on September 30, 2028. To be eligible, offerors must maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Proposals are evaluated based on applicant eligibility and a confidence rating of the Technical Submission Package, which assesses the specificity of goals, alignment with FAA priorities, and the use of SMART methodology. Following several amendments, the final proposal submission deadline is October 23, 2026, at 3:00 pm ET.

NSF Ecosystem for Low-dimensional Electronics: Growth, Assembly, Nanoelectronics, and Translation (NSF ELEGANT)

Solicitation # NSF-OTASO-FY26-ELEGANT

The National Science Foundation's ELEGANT program is a translational initiative designed to move low-dimensional semiconductor technologies, such as 2D materials and 1D nanotubes, from laboratory settings into industrially viable platforms. The program aims to enhance U.S. leadership in advanced microelectronics to support artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and national security. This effort is structured as an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), meaning it is not a traditional FAR procurement contract. The program seeks an Ecosystem Coordinator and Expert Performer Teams to execute five specific translation themes: Manufacturable Materials Platform, Process Technology and Process Design Kit, Device, Circuit and Full-Chip Demonstration, Manufacturing Readiness and Transition, and AI-Enabled Acceleration. The total anticipated funding for the six-year period of performance is up to 150 million dollars, with specific allocations ranging from 6 million to 43 million dollars across the various themes and the coordinator role. Performance is outcome-based and measured by industry-adoptable Translational Endpoints, utilizing a phase-based Go/No-Go milestone system to validate technical quality and manufacturing readiness. Key requirements include the use of domestic fabrication and testing infrastructure, with the majority of work performed in the United States. Proposals are due by December 18, 2026, and will be evaluated on a highest merit basis, focusing on translational credibility, technical experience, and the realism of execution plans.

Command Wide Broad Agency Announcement for Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation

Solicitation # N39430-26-S-5000

The Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicitation number N39430-26-S-5000 to identify innovative technologies and methodologies in applied research, advanced technology development, and advanced component development and prototypes. The program seeks solutions across thirteen diverse topic areas, including expeditionary construction, logistics over the shore, waterfront and undersea facilities, shore energy, cybersecurity for control systems, environmental restoration, and living marine resources. The goal is to deliver specialized facility, ocean system, and expeditionary solutions that enhance Naval capabilities and readiness. Interested parties must submit an abstract via email to the designated points of contact. Submissions are evaluated based on scientific and technical merits, the offeror's qualifications and experience, the proposed project plan, and alignment with command priorities. While no funding is reserved in advance, projects are typically funded through Research Design, Testing and Evaluation (RDTE) funds. All performers must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a Unique Entity Identifier to be eligible for award. Abstracts remain valid for one year, and applicants are generally notified within three months if a detailed proposal is requested.

Synchronized Persistent Army Experimentation (SPARX)

Solicitation # W91CPT25XSPRX

Synchronized Persistent Army Experimentation (SPARX) is a collaborative Request for Information (RFI) managed by the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) under the Transformation and Training Command (T2COM). The program serves as the primary entry point for industry partners to submit information regarding technology demonstrators, prototypes, and fielded systems for consideration in Army experimentation events. The goal is to integrate novel capabilities into operationally relevant environments to support Army Modernization Priorities, Cross Functional Teams, and Multi-Domain Operations across air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace. Interested companies must submit a SPARX Technology Overview template to sparx@army.mil, ensuring that no proprietary information is included. Submissions are evaluated by subject matter experts based on Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Integration Readiness Level (IRL). If selected, industry partners will coordinate directly with event planners regarding participation requirements, which may include providing a detailed training plan for Soldiers, addressing safety and frequency requirements, and disclosing any components in Unmanned Aircraft Systems sourced from China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran. This notice is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a request for proposal or a commitment by the government to award a contract.
