What this contract is for

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE / DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE
Location: ANDREWS AFB, MD
Set-aside: Small Business Set Aside - Total
NAICS: 541715 - Scientific Research and Development Services (general category)
Scope: Federal

This announcement is issued on behalf of the Department of the Air Force to solicit innovative research and development approaches that advance acquisition cost data, analytics, and estimating capabilities in support of Air Force and Space Force decision-making.

The focus of this opportunity is on developing and modernizing integrated cost datasets, databases, analytical methods, and decision-support capabilities that improve the accuracy, consistency, timeliness, and defensibility of acquisition cost estimates.

These capabilities are essential to identifying budget trade-space, assessing cost and schedule risk, and informing Strategy, Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution decisions.

Offerors should clearly describe how their proposed research advances the state of the art and improves the Department’s ability to analyze competing investment priorities, quantify risk and uncertainty, and support delivery of critical future capabilities.

Official solicitation and documents

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.
