Neutron Strategic Technology Advanced Research (Neutron-STAR) Advanced Research Announcement (ARA)

The government seeks white papers (and potentially later full technical and cost proposals) on nuclear‑related research and development topics such as nuclear system development, integration, flight experimentation, explosion monitoring, and command, control and communication. Offerors must submit an unclassified white paper following the Neutron STAR Industry User Guide to the designated email address; if selected, a full proposal will be requested in a subsequent one‑step solicitation. The notice requires the offeror to choose **one** of the five listed topic areas, though multi‑topic approaches are permitted if justified. Submissions are open‑ended with no fixed deadline, the work is unrestricted in ceiling, and only firms registered in SAM may be considered; administrative access to proprietary information will be granted to non‑technical support contractors, which offerors must acknowledge or object to in writing.
