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. This initiative consolidates multiple solicitation authorities to accelerate the development, prototyping, and deployment of innovative missile defense technologies. Key technical focus areas include kinetic and hypersonic defense solutions, space-based capabilities such as resilient satellite constellations and advanced sensors, and command, control, and battle management advancements leveraging artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and autonomous systems. This announcement serves as a framework rather than a direct solicitation; therefore, no white papers or proposals should be submitted to the announcement itself. Instead, the MDA will release individual solicitations under this umbrella, each specifying its own technical requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission deadlines. These may take the form of FAR-based procurement contracts or Other Transaction agreements. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management and are encouraged to monitor the MDA Opportunity Marketplace and SAM.gov for specific opportunities, such as the Mobile Integrated Launch Capability, Low-Cost Kill Vehicle, and Shipborne Phased Array Instrumentation Radar. All communications must be unclassified and directed to [email hidden].

Solicitation # N0017827R3106
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division is seeking qualified personnel to provide comprehensive technical and engineering support for the integration of advanced automation capabilities into current and future naval weapon systems. This effort, identified by solicitation N0017827R3106, covers the entire acquisition lifecycle from initial material solution analysis through testing, evaluation, and safe fielding. The scope of work is highly multi-disciplinary, encompassing systems, software, mechanical, cyber, aerospace, and robotics engineering, as well as specialized support in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, cybersecurity, and rapid prototyping. Performance will occur primarily at the Dahlgren, Virginia facility and the contractor's own sites. The anticipated contract is a five-year effort consisting of a twelve-month base period and four one-year option periods. While initially described as a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Level of Effort Task Order, the government is considering a hybrid structure utilizing both Firm-Fixed-Price and Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract line items. Award will be based on best value, with evaluations focusing on technical capabilities, personnel qualifications and security clearances, and past performance as a prime contractor within the last five years. Administrative requirements include invoicing via Wide Area Workflow and financial reporting through the eCRAFT system, with strict adherence to DFARS 252.204-7012 cybersecurity standards.
