Military Unique Sustainment Technology III (MUST-III) Research and Development SP4701-26-B-0001

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is issuing the Military Unique Sustainment Technology III (MUST‑III) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA SP4701‑26‑B‑0001) to solicit White Papers for research and development projects that apply Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies to the rapidly evolving commercial clothing and textile sector in order to improve DoD design, engineering, and manufacturing sustainment capabilities. Offerors must submit a mandatory template‑based White Paper (cover sheet, executive summary, project summary, feasibility/viability/desirability analysis, work breakdown structure, cost data per FAR 15.408 and 52.215‑20, risk mitigation, and cybersecurity compliance such as FedRAMP) to the listed contracting officers (Andrea.Niccolucci, Sara.Cepeda, Alexandra.Bocito) and the DCSO‑R D mailbox. Proposals will be evaluated on three factors: (1) feasibility – scientific/technical merit, innovative approach, and qualified personnel; (2) viability – potential for adoption, transition to operational capability, and alignment with DLA/DoD policies; and (3) desirability – overall benefit to the DoD and impact on sustainment. The award will be an IDIQ contract; individual STP proposals may be funded as task orders. No other solicitations will be issued, and all submissions must follow the provided templates and cost‑data requirements.
