Scope
This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market intelligence and for informational purposes only.
This announcement does not constitute a solicitation or a request for proposals (RFP), and no solicitation is currently available.
Participation in this RFI is strictly voluntary.
The Government will not be obligated to award any agreement or contract because of this RFI, nor will it reimburse respondents for any costs associated with the preparation or submission of information.
Submitting a response will not affect a firm's ability to submit a proposal should a formal solicitation be issued in the future.
Facilities and infrastructure at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) are exposed to intense acoustic loads and sonic booms from an increasing cadence of launch operations.
Existing historical data is primarily based on aircraft overflights and has limited applicability to the unique pressure signatures generated by modern launch vehicles (including Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Starship/Super Heavy, Vulcan, New Glenn, and other current or proposed vehicles).
The Government requires development of a scientifically defensible material testing methodology and a predictive engineering model to evaluate the effects of launch noise and sonic booms on both current and legacy construction materials, infrastructure, and facility types at CCSFS.
The effort shall support informed decisions on facility sustainment, retrofitting, or replacement.
Reference the attached Statement of Objective for a more detailed description of this requirement.
Please see attached RFI for further directions.
Please respond to the questions found within the RFI document if interested no later than 3 December 2026, 2:00 PM EST.
You may address questions in a narrative, annotated outline, bullet or table format.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
