The Neutron Strategic Technology Advanced Research (Neutron STAR) Advanced Research Announcement (ARA), solicitation FA9453-23-R-A004, is an open call by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Geo Space Division for innovative research and development to enhance national nuclear deterrence capabilities. Operating under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 4023 for experimental purposes, the program seeks white papers and proposals across five key topic areas: nuclear system development, systems integration, flight experimentation and evaluation, nuclear explosion monitoring, and nuclear command, control, and communication. The announcement is a hybrid, utilizing both open requests for white papers and individual solicitations, with the flexibility to use various award instruments including FAR-based contracts, Other Transaction (OT) agreements, and cooperative agreements. The submission process generally follows a two-step procedure where the government first requests unclassified white papers and Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimates. Selected offerors are then invited to submit full technical and cost proposals. White papers are subject to strict formatting requirements, including a six-page limit, Times New Roman 12-point font, and a 500-word maximum abstract. Evaluation is based on a categorical ranking system, designating submissions as Best Value, Valuable, or Not Recommended for white papers, and Highly Recommended, Selectable, or Not Selectable for full proposals. Key administrative requirements include mandatory registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and compliance with the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 regarding the disclosure of current and pending support. Due to the sensitive nature of the research, offerors must complete a Security Program Questionnaire and may be required to provide a mitigation plan for science and technology protection risks. While the overarching announcement has no fixed end date and submission dates are currently indefinite, the government encourages continuous monitoring of sam.gov for updates to topic areas and submission guidelines.
