Is your organization a leader in modern software development? Are you looking for opportunities to secure long-term, recurring funding for innovative open-source software solutions? Do you want to help shape the future of software development for the Department of War weapon systems and dual-use technologies?


The Department of the Air Force (DAF) invites you to review and provide feedback on a DRAFT Request for Solutions for a new effort: The Prometheus Flame Challenge.


This is a Request for Information (RFI). No proposals are requested at this time. Your expert feedback is critical to help us refine and improve this solicitation before its final release.


The Vision: An Open, Modular, and Competitive Future


The DAF is transforming how it develops and deploys software for Autonomy and Mission Systems. To break from the constraints of closed, proprietary systems, we are launching the Prometheus Flame Challenge to build a vibrant, open, and competitive ecosystem around Government-owned, open-source software standards.


Around the June 2026 timeframe, the Air Force intends to publicly release two foundational Government Reference Architectures (GRAs) to guide this effort:


  • Agile Mission Suite GRA (AMS GRA): For modular mission capabilities (sensors, communications, data fusion).
  • Autonomy GRA (A-GRA): For standardized behaviors and teaming for autonomous platforms.

The Opportunity: Prizes and Long-Term Strategic Partnerships


The Prometheus Flame Challenge is more than a prize competition; it is a pathway to long-term strategic partnerships and recurring funding. We are seeking partners to build this new technology ecosystem with us.


Continuous Challenge: The program uses flexible, 3-6 month competition phases, each culminating in a "fly-off" demonstration where top teams earn cash prizes.


Open Entry: Offerors may enter the challenge at any phase. New ideas and existing prototypes are both welcome.


Path to Production: Our primary goal is to identify long-term strategic partners. We intend to award follow-on Prototype and Production Other Transaction (OT) Agreements to teams whose solutions align with our long-term vision, providing a recurring funding stream to mature and proliferate this critical open-source foundation.


Who Should Participate?


We invite participation from the full spectrum of innovators, including:


  • Open-source software developers and enthusiasts
  • Non-traditional defense contractors and commercial software companies
  • Start-ups specializing in autonomy, unmanned systems, and software architecture
  • Academic institutions and research labs
  • Traditional defense contractors interested in leading in an open-source environment

This competition is open to both industry and academia with U.S. or U.S. ally-based headquarters and ownership.


Your Feedback is Requested


Please review the attached document, “(U) Prometheus Flame Challenge - Request for Solutions Draft.pdf”, for complete details on the proposed structure, goals, and evaluation criteria.


Feedback should be submitted via email no later than 17 April 2026.


The final solicitation is anticipated to be released on or around 1 June 2026.

Notice of Intent to Sole Source 60-ton Crane Repair
Solicitation # FA4626-SoleSource-CraneRepair
The Department of the Air Force, through the 341st Contracting Squadron, intends to award a sole-source contract to MGX Equipment Services, LLC for the complex repair of a 2007 Grove TMS700E 60-ton crane (AF Registration 07D00453) supporting the 819th Red Horse Squadron at Malmstrom Air Force Base. The asset is currently undrivable due to a hydraulic leak requiring major drive-train disassembly and the replacement of a 5-port hydraulic swivel manifold assembly. To certify the crane as fully functional, the scope of work includes replacing the wire rope, o-rings, fill cap with breather, element, lock pin, seal kit, and slip ring assembly, as well as performing structural inspections by authorized Grove technicians. All repairs must adhere to OEM specifications as identified in Technical Order 36-1-191. Because the crane cannot be driven and the government lacks a sufficiently large transport trailer, the asset must be transported to the MGX Equipment Services facility in Billings, Montana. The estimated total cost for the project is 53,565.41, which covers parts, labor, and return transportation. This requirement is being solicited as a sole-source action because MGX Equipment Services is the only known authorized dealer in Montana with the necessary capabilities and infrastructure to perform these specific repairs. Interested parties were requested to submit capability statements or quotations by September 25, 2026, to demonstrate if competition would be advantageous to the government.
