Aviation Research BAA 2025

Solicitation # 692M15-25-R-00004

The Aviation Research BAA 2025, solicitation number 692M15-25-R-00004, is a long-term initiative sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to support basic and applied research at the William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace. Valid from December 5, 2024, through December 4, 2034, this Broad Agency Announcement seeks to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace safety and efficiency across five primary program branches: Airport Technology R&D, Software and Systems, Structures and Propulsion, Separation Standards Analysis, and Fire Safety. The FAA encourages submissions from a diverse range of offerors, including academia, industry, and small businesses, to address evolving air transportation challenges. The solicitation utilizes a phased submission process where interested parties first submit brief white papers for specific Topics of Interest. If a white paper is deemed meritorious, the FAA may request a formal proposal consisting of a technical volume and a price/cost volume. Awards are made bilaterally based on a favorable feasibility assessment, with cost analyzed for reasonableness and realism rather than being a rated factor. While funding varies by project, rough order of magnitude estimates range from $100,000 to $1.2 million per award, with many projects anticipated to be funded annually for a period of 12 to 36 months. All offerors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award.

Solicitation # 697DCK-26-R-00423

Screening Information Request 697DCK-26-R-00423 is a competitive selection process for the Federal Aviation Administration's BEYOND Phase 2 program, managed by the Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Advanced Air Mobility Integration Office. This initiative seeks to award up to eight Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) to State, Local, Tribal, or Territorial governments to advance Unmanned Aircraft Systems integration, specifically focusing on operations that are bigger, higher, and farther. The program is organized around four programmatic focus areas: infrastructure, scalability, safety, and automation, while addressing operational challenges such as public safety, controlled airspace, remote and rural areas, on-airport operations, and cross-border activities. This selection process is not a standard procurement and does not provide FAA funding, as each party is responsible for its own costs. The period of performance for awarded OTAs begins on the date of award and terminates on September 30, 2028. To be eligible, offerors must maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Proposals are evaluated based on applicant eligibility and a confidence rating of the Technical Submission Package, which assesses the specificity of goals, alignment with FAA priorities, and the use of SMART methodology. Following several amendments, the final proposal submission deadline is October 23, 2026, at 3:00 pm ET.
