STAR-FISH CALL 017 - Secure By Design
Solicitation # FA945326XA001
The Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Vehicles Directorate, is soliciting white papers under CALL 017 of the Space Technology Advanced Research - Fast-tracking Innovative Software and Hardware (STAR-FISH) program. This effort, titled Secure by Design Space Vehicle (SDSV), aims to mitigate cyber threats to critical national space missions, including Satellite Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, Missile Warning/Missile Tracking, and Positioning, Navigation, and Timing. The project involves the research, design, development, and demonstration of a cyber-hardened space vehicle system, featuring the construction of a space vehicle flat-sat and a corresponding cyber range, software hardening, and both ground-based and on-orbit experimentation. The procurement follows a two-step process, beginning with the submission of unclassified white papers and rough order of magnitude cost estimates due by 1600 MST on November 13, 2026. Selected offerors will then be invited to submit full proposals. The government anticipates awarding multiple Cost Plus Fixed Fee contracts with a total estimated funding of 14 million dollars distributed from fiscal years 2027 through 2030. Awards will include a base period and two option periods. Eligible offerors must operate under NAICS code 541715 and maintain an approved accounting system. Submissions must be made via DoD Safe using the provided template and include the company's Unique Entity ID and CAGE code. Evaluation will be based on a weight of scientific evidence approach, prioritizing technical merit, relevance to DOD missions, and cost realism. Security requirements range from CUI to Secret, and offerors must perform an Organizational Conflict of Interest analysis as part of their submission.

Cyclotron Beam Time for AFRL/RJ
Solicitation # FA945327XQ001
The Air Force Research Lab Space Warfare Directorate is issuing a Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Proposed Contract Action for cyclotron beam time to support radiation tolerance characterization of focal plane arrays, detector test chips, and sensing materials for space operation. The government intends to award a sole source contract to the University of California Davis for the use of its cyclotron at the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and 41 U.S.C. 1901 for commercial products and services, utilizing NAICS code 541380. The requirement specifies 40 hours of continuous proton beam time over one continuous week with an 85 percent duty cycle. Technical specifications require a continuous proton beam with flux between 10^0 and 10^10 protons/cm2 s, energy up to 63 MeV at a maximum current of 100 nA, and a beam diameter of at least 3 inches with over 95 percent uniformity within a 2.0 cm radius. Key deliverables include a beam dosimetry report delivered within one business day of the government's departure. The contractor must provide 24/7 building access during the beam time week, usage of the South Cave room for setup and teardown, radiation dosimeters for personnel, and parking for one trailer and four vehicles. Interested parties must submit a statement of interest demonstrating technical capability by October 22, 2026.

Space Environment Technologies and Science (SETS) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
Solicitation # FA9453-23-R-X001
The Space Environment Technologies and Science (SETS) Program is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) under NAICS 541715. The program seeks research and development to understand, quantify, and mitigate the impacts of the space environment on Department of Defense and national security systems. The scope is divided into five primary technical areas: Solar, Solar Wind, and Ionospheric Effects; Thermosphere, Satellite Drag and the Reentry Environment; Plasma Physics and Chemistry; Particle Effects and Radiation Belt Environment; and the Cislunar Environment. The objective is to enhance the capability to predict and exploit environmental effects that could disrupt operational systems, including impacts on spacecraft, radar, and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems. This is a closed BAA that remains active for eight years, with specific requirements and deadlines issued through individual Calls. Proposals may follow a one-step or two-step process, with the latter requiring an initial white paper for evaluation based on technical merit and affordability. Deliverables vary by Call but typically include hardware, software, prototypes, and technical reports. All offerors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide a Unique Entity Identification number. Depending on the specific Call, some efforts may require a U.S. security clearance of Secret or higher and a classified facility clearance. Award selection is based primarily on overall scientific and technical merit, subject to the availability of funds.

Utilizing the authority of 10 U.S.C. 4023 for Procurement for Experimental Purposes, the program seeks innovative research and development to enhance national nuclear deterrence capabilities. The scope is divided into five primary technical topic areas: nuclear system development, nuclear systems integration, nuclear system flight experimentation and evaluation, nuclear explosion monitoring, and nuclear command, control, and communication. The solicitation employs a hybrid approach, featuring an open request for white papers alongside potential one-step or two-step individual solicitations. For the open announcement, interested parties must first submit an unclassified white paper and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate to the Neutron STAR Org Mailbox. These submissions are evaluated based on technical merit and best value, with successful candidates invited to submit full technical and cost proposals. Awards may be issued through various instruments, including FAR-based contracts, Other Transactions (OT), or assistance instruments such as grants and cooperative agreements. Submission dates are currently indefinite, and the announcement remains active until further notice. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and are required to submit a Security Program Questionnaire and Standard Form 424 for key personnel to assess Science and Technology protection risks. The program maintains an unrestricted ceiling, and the government anticipates making multiple awards based on technical soundness, cost realism, and funding availability.
