The Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base intends to award a sole source contract to Aerosoft Corporation for the Additional Physics for Energy Scaling project. This effort focuses on modeling and simulation research for flowing diode-pumped alkali lasers, specifically integrating and testing new physics models within the General Aerodynamic Simulation Program. The primary goals are to simulate energy pooling, photo excitation, and multi-photon absorption to maximize the efficiency and power output of flowing DPAL systems. The contract is designated under NAICS code 541712 and has a total duration of 27 months, consisting of a 24-month technical performance period followed by three months for final reporting. As a sole source procurement, the government has identified Aerosoft Corporation as the only responsible source capable of satisfying the requirements. An Ombudsman has been appointed to handle contractor concerns, while administrative matters are directed to the identified contracting point of contact.

The Air Force Research Laboratory, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, intends to solicit a sole source requirement for the "Additional Physics for Energy Scaling" effort, IAW 10 U.S.C. 2304c(1). As implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), only one responsible source and no other suppliers or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Aerosoft Corporation, 2000 Kraft Drive, Suite 1400, Blacksburg, Virginia 24060-6141. This procurement is for modeling and simulation research of flowing diode-pumped alkali lasers (DPAL). The effort will include addition and testing of new physics models to the General Aerodynamic Simulation Program (GASP) for simulation of energy pooling, photo excitation, multi-photon absorption in a flowing DPAL, and simulation of flowing DPAL systems with the aim of maximizing efficiency and power output. Completion of the contract will be 27 months from date of award (24-month technical period of performance with three months for the final report process). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541712 with a size standard of 500 employees. This Notice of Intent is not a solicitation or request for competitive proposals. A determination to not compete the proposed contract is solely within the discretion of the Government. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Interested parties may submit any information for consideration by the Government to Stephanie M. Beauchamp at the e-mail address listed, with the solicitation number referenced in the subject line. Submitted information shall be UNCLASSIFIED. Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS) clause, 5352.201-9101 entitled Ombudsman is applicable to this procurement. An Ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns of offeror/s/ or potential offeror/s/. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the Program Manager or the Contracting Office, but communicates Contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of the proposals in the source selection process. Matters of routine or that are administrative in nature, concerning the acquisition, should not be addressed to the Ombudsman, but rather to the Contracting Point-of-Contact identified below. The Ombudsman is Ms. Sue Hunter, AFRL/PK, 1864 4th Street, Suite 1, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH 45433-7171, Phone number 937-904-4407, Facsimile 937-904-7024, E-mail sue.hunter@wpafb.af.mil.

TACTICAL Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
Solicitation # FA9451-24-S-0001
The TACTICAL Broad Agency Announcement (BAA FA9451-24-S-0001) is a five-year research initiative managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Directed Energy Directorate. The program seeks innovative, cost-effective solutions to advance directed energy technologies, focusing on computational development, validation of weapon system components, and the improvement of performance, reliability, and affordability. With an estimated total funding profile of 499 million dollars over five years, the program covers 14 diverse topic areas, including laser sources, beam control, satellite custody and characterization, artificial intelligence for space domain awareness, and high power electromagnetics. This BAA utilizes a closed call process, meaning proposals are not submitted to the overarching announcement but in response to specific calls issued via SAM.gov. These calls define the technical requirements, performance periods, and funding for individual efforts. The government may employ various contract types, such as Firm Fixed Price or Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, though cost-reimbursable awards require a DCAA-approved accounting system. To streamline solicitation, the program utilizes Topic Area Groups (TAGs), where technically qualified members are identified through the review of executive summaries and are prioritized for future requests for proposals or white papers. Evaluation is conducted through a peer or scientific review process based on overall scientific and technical merit, with cost analyzed for realism and reasonableness after a source is selected. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and comply with strict security and program protection requirements, including the submission of security questionnaires and senior personnel profiles. All invoicing and receipt processes for resulting awards are required to be managed through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system.
