University Day

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is issuing a grant‑type solicitation (AFRL‑2025‑1846) under BAA FA8651‑22‑S‑0001 (Call 05) to fund 5‑6 research projects focused on the two research areas identified in the BAA. Each award will be $75‑100 K, with a 12‑month performance period (approximately 10 months of research followed by a 2‑month final‑report phase). The anticipated award date is 23 June 2025, and the final deliverable is a comprehensive report. Proposals must be limited to a three‑page Business section (formatted like the Technical/Management volume and identifying any technical data delivered with less than Government Purpose Rights) and an unrestricted Cost section that provides a clear element breakdown. Offerors must demonstrate a unique, innovative technical approach, a solid understanding of the scope, risk mitigation strategies, relevant personnel qualifications, and potential for transition of R&D results; cost proposals will be evaluated for reasonableness, any required cost share, and alignment with available funding. Only one proposal may be submitted per university. Proposals are due 14 May 2025, 3:00 PM CST, via Grants.gov; submitters must notify the Government POC (Adam Noffke) after electronic submission and will have their representations and certifications pulled from SAM.gov. The SOO (Attachment 1) must be completed with no proprietary information. Non‑compliant proposals will be deemed ineligible. Selected offerors in the highly selectable or selectable categories will be invited to a virtual pitch day, where same‑day awards may be made.
