Request for Whitepapers: AEDC Velocity Alliance - A Multi-Billion Dollar OTA Consortium Opportunity

Vendors responding to this Request for Whitepapers must submit a whitepaper that acknowledges the “AEDC Velocity Alliance Program Objectives” (SOO) and the “AEDC Velocity Alliance Base Articles” as the living, governing framework for the Alliance. The whitepaper serves as the entry gate to demonstrate minimum technical competence and partnership capability; acceptance grants the vendor full membership in the consortium. The onboarding schedule requires whitepaper submissions and mandatory site‑visit windows for three initial opportunities (Opportunity 1: 1 June 2026 – 30 June 2026; Opportunity 2: 1 September 2026 – 30 September 2026; Opportunity 3: TBD), with the Alliance expected to become operational on 1 July 2026. The solicitation notice remains active through 30 September 2032 and may be extended, and all governing documents are subject to amendment at any time. Once admitted, every consortium member will receive all Project Opportunity Announcements (POAs) regardless of the SOO type; the Government will not filter or limit opportunities based on onboarding performance. Vendors are responsible for evaluating each POA against their own capabilities and deciding whether to compete. While the Government may use various competitive methods—including, where appropriate, whitepapers—to down‑select performers for individual projects, no sub‑pools or specialized lists will be created, ensuring a level playing field for all members.
