The goal is affordable, scalable fleet self-defense that shifts the cost-exchange ratio away from expensive naval assets.

A sole-source contract for preventive maintenance, calibration, and emergency repair of a government-owned AF36 measurement system at Anniston Army Depot. The work covers keeping existing equipment operating and accurate rather than developing new technology.

This RFP seeks a schema-driven AI system that transforms complex acquisition decisions into auditable, traceable decision packages for ground vehicle programs. The prototype will demonstrate how agentic AI processes digital engineering data while maintaining human control, transparency, and bias awareness throughout multi-phase trade studies.

The Air Force is seeking qualified repair sources for attitude heading reference systems (AHRS) used in TH-1H training helicopters. The work requires access to OEM technical data to restore inertial sensor units that provide aircraft attitude and heading information.

This Navy solicitation seeks a contractor to prepare for and accomplish the maintenance, technical availability, and repair of the USNS Kanawha, a fleet oiler, along with associated support services. It covers ship repair logistics such as shore power, utilities, waste handling, and physical security, rather than new technology development.

USGS seeks a CESU partner to advance national-scale mapping of freshwater fish and aquatic species distributions. The work targets better species distribution models, habitat model accuracy assessment, and AI-assisted synthesis of species traits and conservation data to support resource managers.

Seeks a CESU partner to develop research methods for tracking North American amphibian populations and disease, including prototyping dynamic integrated distribution models and building decision tools to manage an endangered amphibian on Interior lands. It supports science-driven conservation planning for amphibian declines.

NSF seeks human-centered, fundamental research integrating social sciences with engineering to strengthen America's infrastructure systems. Projects should explore how human decision-making, governance, and social processes enable building and maintaining effective infrastructure that improves quality of life.

NHTSA IDIQ to support Experimental and Mathematical Biomechanics Injury Research, covering ATD development, finite element human body modeling, crash injury data analysis, and AI/ML-enhanced insights for vehicle safety research.

VA Veterans Health Administration sources sought for market research on laboratory EP evaluator software subscriptions. Government is gathering information only; no funds appropriated and no solicitation or award implied.

Seeks a contractor to repair, level, and resurface a damaged concrete floor in a Navy model shop, then install a chemical-resistant industrial flooring system. The work prepares the space for a future paint booth and mixing room.

This Department of Defense solicitation seeks new, warranted production of High Lift Adapter and Push Up Adapter peculiar support equipment (plus a munitions loader) for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft, for delivery to both the U.S. Navy and the Royal Australian Air Force. It is a standard procurement of existing equipment, with no new technology development requested.

USGS seeks a research partner to develop an enhanced gene expression panel that can distinguish among multiple stressors affecting marine species like sea lions, salmon, and mussels. The goal is early warning and ecosystem monitoring to support recovery and management decisions.

This Interior Department cooperative agreement seeks a robust method to correct for solution chemistry interferences in molecularly imprinted polymer electrochemical sensors used to detect contaminants like PFAS in complex environmental water. The work involves bench-scale proof of concept testing that scales to field-deployed trials.

This USGS cooperative agreement seeks research partners to build decision support tools for managing chronic wasting disease in deer and elk. The work models disease spread and tests surveillance and management strategies to protect wildlife across the northeastern and western US.

Seeks a partner to develop lidar-based workflows that estimate floodplain connectivity across Great Basin riverscapes, replacing limited field-based methods. The goal is scalable, continuous measures of river and riparian health to guide restoration and fish and wildlife recovery.

Seeking a CESU partner to support cisco restoration in Lakes Huron and Erie through a structured decision-making workshop for fisheries managers and experiments identifying hatchery conditions that produce the highest-quality cisco for reintroduction. It addresses declining native fish populations by combining decision science with applied aquaculture research.

USGS Powell Center seeks research to map where aquatic contaminants pose risks to aerial insectivorous birds across the U.S. and Europe. The spatially explicit framework will help decision makers anticipate environmental health risks at local, regional, and continental scales.

Research cooperative agreement studying how invasive cheatgrass fuels repeated wildfires in eastern sagebrush and Great Plains grasslands. The goal is mapping the invasive grass-fire cycle and identifying management strategies that help communities reduce wildfire risk.

Seeks scientific research on invasive plant risks in Hawaiʻi, analyzing horticultural trade and invasion records to identify high-risk species and areas. Findings will guide early detection, screening, and management to reduce wildfire, erosion, and ecosystem harm.

Seeks research to build a predictive modeling tool that forecasts non-native fish invasions, like brook trout and smallmouth bass, threatening bull trout and other native fish in Northwest freshwater streams. The tool will help managers prioritize actions to protect these ecosystems under changing climate conditions.

Seeks research partners to study how invasive plant control methods can stay effective as rising temperatures boost invasive plant growth in the Northeast. The work synthesizes practitioner experience and scientific evidence to help land managers adapt treatment strategies.

Seeks a contractor to construct a vehicle maintenance shop at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan, under a federal construction solicitation. Covers building work for maintaining military vehicles on the base.

A DoD support contract for the Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF III) programs, seeking contractor staff to deliver services across cognitive, physical, psychological, social, and spiritual domains plus enterprise data analytics. It aims to strengthen service member and family resilience and readiness through program support and analytics integration.

The Navy seeks innovative manufacturing processes to produce IR-transparent composite ceramics with nanoscale microstructures and minimal porosity at production scale. This enables advanced infrared aperture components that maintain optical clarity and mechanical strength under extreme thermal conditions.
