FreeSol Broad Agency Announcement
Solicitation # FA8819-24-R-B003
This contract, known as the FreeSol Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), is issued by the Space Systems Command (SSC) under the United States Space Force and is focused on advancing innovative space and cyber technologies to counter emerging threats in these domains. The initiative specifically calls for concept papers and proposals that address technological advancements aligned with the USSF’s strategic objectives, with a particular emphasis on solutions at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 or higher. The BAA is structured as a two-step process, with an initial submission of concept papers followed by a request for full proposals from selected offerors. The five key areas of research interest include: technologies that enhance space system resiliency; improvements to space domain awareness; abilities to exploit space for defensive and offensive counterspace; efficiencies in battle management command, control, and communications (BMC3); and methods that advance exercises, testing, and training environments. Example topics range from AI tools for space operations to resilient ground-based sensors, inter-satellite links for small satellites, and rapid reconstitution strategies. The BAA will remain open for 60 months, until February 23, 2029, during which time up to $99 million may be allocated for relevant projects, subject to the availability of funds and government discretion. There is no predetermined number of awards; funding decisions will be based on the scope and merit of the proposals received. The evaluation process considers the technical innovation, relevance, feasibility, affordability, and intellectual property implications of each submission. Submissions are handled with attention to security and potential proprietary data, with non-government advisors under NDA possibly involved in the review. Offerors must address potential organizational conflicts of interest and security clearance requirements (up to TS/SCI). The process is designed to encourage broad industry participation, including small and minority-owned businesses as well as foreign entities, provided they clear any required security determinations. Notably, all costs for preparation of concept papers and proposals are borne by the offerors. Contact for submission and further guidance is provided through named contracting and security officers at the Space Force.
