This contract, awarded to the University of Dayton Research Institute under the Advanced Manufacturing Propulsion Initiative, focuses on the development of advanced non-destructive evaluation technologies for ceramic matrix composites. Funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Department of Defense Near Term Energy-Efficient Technologies Program, the project aims to replace metal coated components in turbine engines with lightweight composites. This transition is intended to decrease specific fuel consumption and allow legacy engines to integrate these technologies during depot maintenance. The primary objective of the program is to enhance manufacturing processes to increase yields and quality while reducing overall costs and production times. Due to the inherent uncertainties in performance and the inability to accurately estimate costs, the agreement was structured as a cost-reimbursement contract rather than a fixed-price arrangement. The effort is managed by the United States Air Force Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

RECOVERY - PER FAR 5.7 THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY; THEREFORE, FAR 5.203 DOES NOT APPLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY WAS AVAILABLE ONLY TO THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON RESEARCH INSTITUTE UNDER THE CURRENT CONTRACT NUMBER FA8650-08-C-5304, ADVANCED MANUFACTURING PROPULSION INITIATIVE (AMPI): ADVANCED NON-DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION (NDE) FOR CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITES (CMCs). Award under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, Department of Defense Near Term Energy-Efficient Technologies Program Plan, Fuel Optimization for Mobility Platforms (Category), Materials - Ceramic Matrix Composites (Project Title). Ceramic matrix composites for turbine engines/lightweight composite to metal joining; CMCs will replace metal coated components resulting in a decrease in specific fuel consumption (SFC) for turbine engines. Some estimate savings for engines with CMCs components vs. metal coated components. Legacy engines will be able to integrate technology downstream in depot. The specific objective of this program/contract remains to improve CMC manufacturing processes through the use of NDE technologies that will result in increased yields and quality, and reduced costs and process times. This contract action was not awarded as a fixed price contract type because uncertainties involved in contract performance did not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract. As such, a cost-reimbursement type action was awarded (FAR 16.301-2).

AFRL Enterprise CSO: Centralized Open Spiral
Solicitation # FA865226SC005
Solicitation FA865226SC005 is a Centralized, Open Two-Step Spiral issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory under the Defense Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) framework in accordance with R-DFARS 212.70. The government is seeking Commercial Solutions Brief (CSB) submissions for innovative solutions ranging from advanced component development to operational systems development, specifically limited to Foundational Technologies (AFRL/RE). This procurement follows a two-step process where only CSB submissions are currently requested; offerors must be categorized as Selectable during the Step One evaluation to be invited to Step Two, which involves the submission of a Commercial Solutions Proposal (CSP). The deadline for Step One CSB submissions is 5:00 PM Eastern on April 30, 2027. Submissions must align with the Areas of Interest identified in Attachment 1 of the AFRL Enterprise CSO and follow the formatting instructions in Section 7 and Attachment 2 of the main announcement. While there is no limit on the number of CSBs a single offeror may submit, each must present a unique approach. Submissions should be emailed to afrl.cso.mailbox@us.af.mil, though those containing Controlled Unclassified Information must be transmitted via the DoD SAFE system. This spiral was noted as cancelled effective June 4, 2026, with future spirals transitioning to a decentralized model issued by respective Mission Organizations.

Endless Forge
Solicitation # FA2394-26-R-B003
Endless Forge is a Manufacturing as a Service initiative led by the Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorate to establish an adaptive, scalable, and resilient production network for the US industrial base. The program aims to shift from sequential value chains to regionalized production networks, enabling the Department of the Air Force to rapidly scale weapon systems based on battlefield performance. With a total estimated program cost of 149 million dollars and multiple awards anticipated, the solicitation focuses on two primary Areas of Interest: technology sprints to reduce risk in enabling technologies like digital certification and software-defined manufacturing, and a technology demonstration to validate the concept across domains such as space systems and autonomous platforms. This unrestricted solicitation, number FA2394-26-R-B003, utilizes a two-step process requiring a five-page white paper followed by a full proposal for selected offerors, with a response deadline of February 19, 2028. Anticipated contracts include Other Transaction for Prototype and Cost Plus Fixed Fee types, with a technical performance period of 33 months. Key requirements include strict adherence to security risk reviews for key personnel to mitigate foreign influence, compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC cybersecurity standards, and the use of the Wide Area Workflow system for invoicing. Deliverables encompass research and development data, scientific and technical reports, and hardware prototypes that must meet MIL-STD-130 unique item identification and MIL-STD-129 packaging standards.
