Sources Sought: Call For Technology Independent Verification &Validation (IV&V) 27-1: Spectrum Proof
Solicitation # IVV271
The US Army V Corps, in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit, is conducting an open sources sought for the Spectrum Proof Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) event to identify and evaluate emerging Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) technologies aligned with the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative. The initiative seeks capabilities that enable the U.S. Army and NATO forces to achieve electromagnetic spectrum superiority in dense, contested, and denied environments by providing seamless sensing, identification, targeting, and non-lethal disruption of adversary systems across all echelons. Submissions must demonstrate alignment with five key verticals: Electromagnetic Support and Surveillance, Common Services, Electromagnetic Attack, Sensor-to-Shooter Integration, and Resilience in Degraded Environments. Technologies must be optimized for Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C), support open architectures like MOSA and SOSA, incorporate AI/ML for real-time signal classification and automation, and operate effectively in DDIL (Distributed, Disaggregated, Integrated, Limited) conditions without relying on robust network connectivity. Respondents are required to submit a ten-page whitepaper detailing the technology’s development, operational history, current Technology Readiness Level (TRL), and specific alignment with one or more verticals, along with a single-page technology quad chart that summarizes capability, prior deployments, TRL, and a full technical point of contact. Submissions must be unclassified and properly marked for proprietary or sensitive information. The government will evaluate submissions through a peer review panel of military, industry, and academic experts based on technical merit, mission alignment, and integration potential. Participation in the Spectrum Proof event, scheduled for November 2–6, 2026, at Fort Knox, Kentucky, is not guaranteed, and no costs incurred in response to this sources sought will be reimbursed. There is no obligation to award any contract from this effort, but selected technologies may be invited to participate in a follow-on experimentation event in the EUCOM theater in third quarter fiscal year 2027 under authorities including 10 U.S.C. 4021, 4022, and 3458. Offerors must affirm they are acting solely as technology demonstrators and will not evaluate other submissions to prevent conflicts of interest. Government support contractors with access to proprietary data are bound by strict non-disclosure obligations, and all evaluation results will remain within government control with Letters of Observation issued to participants.

TACTICAL Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
Solicitation # FA9451-24-S-0001
The Air Force Research Laboratory’s Directed Energy Directorate has issued the TACTICAL Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA9451-24-S-0001, a five-year competitive solicitation for research and development in directed energy and related technology areas. This BAA operates under FAR 6.102(d)(2) to enable full and open competition for scientific and technical proposals aligned with the Department of the Air Force’s warfighter needs in tactical directed energy systems. It encompasses 14 distinct technical topic areas spanning laser sources, beam control, system integration, modeling and simulation, high power electromagnetics, satellite custody, artificial intelligence for space domain awareness, and wargaming. The BAA does not accept unsolicited proposals directly; instead, technical calls for executive summaries, white papers, or full proposals are issued periodically through the System for Award Management (SAM), and only entities selected into Topic Area Groups (TAGs) via these executive summary reviews are eligible for targeted solicitation, though standard calls remain open to all qualified offerors. The annual funding profile is estimated at $499 million across FY24 through FY28, though funding is not guaranteed and subject to congressional appropriation and government discretion. Proposals must adhere to strict submission protocols, including electronic submission only via the designated secure mailbox, compliance with page limits, and specified document formatting standards. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and maintain current Annual Representations and Certifications to be eligible for award. The government anticipates awarding cost-type contracts such as Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee or Cost Contracts, or Firm Fixed-Price contracts depending on the nature of the work, with cost-type awards requiring a Defense Contract Audit Agency-approved accounting system. A critical and evolving requirement is the Science and Technology Program Protection protocol, mandating submission of completed SF-424 forms, Security Program Questionnaires, and signed Privacy Act Statements for all senior and key personnel to assess potential foreign influence or conflicts of interest. Failure to disclose foreign talent program participation or foreign components can lead to contract termination and legal consequences under federal statutes. Offerors must also comply with stringent export control requirements, including ITAR and EAR, and must hold or obtain appropriate security clearances for potential classified work. Technical evaluation prioritizes scientific and technical merit and alignment with AFRL priorities over cost, following a trade-off procurement strategy, with awards determined on best value, not lowest price. Contract administration requires electronic invoicing via WAWF, adherence to IUID and MIL-
