Missile Defense Agency - Nimble Options for Buying Layered Effects (NOBLE) Announcement

Solicitation # HQ0860-25-S-0001

The Missile Defense Agency Nimble Options for Buying Layered Effects (NOBLE) Announcement, solicitation number HQ0860-25-S-0001, is an overarching acquisition strategy active from March 27, 2025, through March 27, 2030. Rather than a single contract, it serves as a consolidated framework to rapidly develop, prototype, and field disruptive missile defense technologies across the entire kill chain. The program focuses on three primary technical areas: Kinetic and Hypersonic Defense for cost-efficient interceptors, Command, Control, and Battle Management utilizing AI and quantum computing, and Space-based Sensors, Interceptors, and Effectors to maintain space domain awareness. Under this framework, the MDA will release individual solicitations using various authorities, including FAR-based procurement contracts and Other Transaction (OT) agreements. Each individual solicitation will define its own specific technical requirements, evaluation criteria, funding levels, and submission deadlines. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and are directed to monitor SAM.gov and the MDA Opportunity Marketplace for new opportunities, such as the Mobile Integrated Launch Capability, Low-Cost Kill Vehicle, and Shipborne Phased Array Instrumentation Radar. All offerors are subject to Organizational Conflict of Interest rules per FAR Subpart 9.5 and DFARS Subpart 209.5. Security requirements include compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, with some efforts requiring secure interfacing with classified systems. All unclassified communications regarding the NOBLE program should be directed to [email hidden].
