Opportunity

The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/PZL), is soliciting proposals for the Innovative Combustion and Propulsion Research (ICP Research) Program under solicitation number FA865021S2055. This program facilitates in-house research for the Aerospace Systems Directorate’s Turbine Engine Division to advance the state-of-the-art in propulsion technologies for Air Force and Department of Defense platforms. The primary objectives are to analyze fundamental aerothermal and mechanical processes in gas turbine, piston, and other propulsion engines to develop new components for demonstration in legacy, pipeline, or future military propulsion systems.

This requirement is classified under NAICS 541715, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology), and PSC AJ12, General Science and Technology R&D Services; General Science and Technology; Applied Research. Research activities are expected to be conducted primarily within the experimental laboratories and test facilities at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Eric Carretta is the designated point of contact for this solicitation.

The deadline for responses is October 18, 2021. The solicitation was updated on October 5, 2021, and includes seven total attachments. These documents consist of a revised model contract and Section K, a statement of work supplement, the primary solicitation instructions, Contract Data Requirements Lists, Section L proposal instructions, and DFARS payment instructions.
