AFRL: Selection Screening Discovery and Design of Alloys and Advanced Metals Processing Technologies (SDAMPT) Presolicitation

Due Date: Inactive 1 March 2021 Description: The objective of Selection Screening Discovery and Design of Alloys and Advanced Metals Processing Technologies (SDAMPT) is to assess new alloys and metallic materials processing technologies for the potential of delivering new or improved capabilities to current and future USAF weapons systems, facilitate reductions in acquisition and sustainment costs of metallic components, assist in reducing time-to-market for transitioning of technologies to the USAF and USSF supply chain, and enable reduction of risks associated with the insertion of new materials technologies into aerospace applications.

Description
The objective of Selection Screening Discovery and Design of Alloys and Advanced Metals Processing Technologies (SDAMPT) is to assess new alloys and metallic materials processing technologies for the potential of delivering new or improved capabilities to current and future USAF weapons systems, facilitate reductions in acquisition and sustainment costs of metallic components, assist in reducing time-to-market for transitioning of technologies to the USAF and USSF supply chain, and enable reduction of risks associated with the insertion of new materials technologies into aerospace applications.

*****************This announcement does not request any proposals at this time******************
The following program is an anticipated requirement for the Air Force Research Laboratory, Materials & Manufacturing Directorate, Structural Materials Division (AFRL/RXC) located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH. A Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the listed program may be released in March 2021. The anticipated funding listed below reflects estimated funding only. This estimate is not a promise of funding.
Funding is uncertain and is subject to change. Changes in funding availability may occur at the discretion of the Government.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this notice is to provide information about a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for “Selection, Screening, Discovery, and Design of Alloys and Advanced Metals Processing Technologies” (SDAMPT). This notice is not a solicitation for research. The Government will not reimburse costs associated with any communication submitted in response to this notice. No documentation is requested at this time.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The objective of all tasks comprising this contract is to assess new alloys and metallic materials processing technologies for the potential of delivering new or improved capabilities to current and future USAF weapons systems, facilitate reductions in acquisition and sustainment costs of metallic components, assist in reducing time-to-market for transitioning of technologies to the USAF and USSF supply
chain, and enable reduction of risks associated with the insertion of new materials technologies into aerospace applications.

Task Order 0001: Alloys and Metallic Materials Processing Early Applied Research (AMP-EAR) The focus of this task order is to execute basic and applied research to develop and transition new and/or improve metallic materials (including metallic alloys, hybrid, nano-composite, and composite structures) used in aerospace applications to include, but not limited to, propulsion systems, airframe structure, sustainment, and
space applications.

THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE ONLY: It is anticipated that a BAA providing more details for this program may be released in March 2021. The BAA will be made available at https://beta.sam.gov/. Direct any questions to the contracting points of contact identified in the announcement or technical point of contact Maj.
