AFRL/RX Functional Materials Open BAA

The Air Force Research Laboratory’s Materials Manufacturing Directorate is issuing an unrestricted solicitation (FA8650‑22‑S‑5002) for white papers—and, where appropriate, full technical and cost proposals—that advance the Functional Materials and Applications mission. Topics of interest span the entire functional‑materials lifecycle, from scientific discovery through technology development and transition. Small businesses are encouraged to compete, cost sharing is not required, and dialogue with government representatives is permitted through the proposal deadline. The Air Force reserves the right to award zero, one, or multiple contracts based on technical merit, performance capability, and funding availability, which may fluctuate with little notice. Proposals must include a detailed subcontracting plan (identifying each subcontracted item/service, selected subcontractors, selection rationale, contract type, cost basis, and any pricing data not provided to the prime), a project funding profile by Government Fiscal Year, and any exceptions to solicitation requirements (e.g., base support, GFP, CDRLs). Offerors with Forward Pricing Rate Agreements or recommendations must submit them; there are no page limits. Failure to meet all solicitation requirements by the due date will render an offeror ineligible for award.
