AFRL/RX Functional Materials Open BAA

The Air Force Research Laboratory, Materials Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL‑MMD) at Wright‑Patterson AFB is issuing an unrestricted Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeking white papers—and, where appropriate, technical and cost proposals—on research that advances the Functional Materials and Applications mission. Topics span the full spectrum from materials discovery through technology development and transition, aligned with the Directorate’s core functional‑materials competencies. Small businesses are encouraged to submit, and proposals must be prepared under NAICS codes 541713, 541714, and 541715. The Air Force reserves the right to award zero, one, or multiple contracts using the instrument best suited to the work, and funding may fluctuate with little notice; there are no cost‑sharing or other funding restrictions. Proposals must include a detailed project funding profile by Government Fiscal Year, complete subcontractor information (selection method, contract type, cost basis, and any required cost or pricing data), and any applicable Forward Pricing Rate Agreements. There is no page limit for cost/business proposals, and offerors may state any exceptions to requirements (e.g., base support, Government‑furnished property, CDRLs) in the cost section. Dialogue with government representatives is encouraged prior to submission, and the BAA will be republished annually for updates.
