MINSAV CALL 05 "TALOS"

The Department of the Air Force, specifically AFRL/RYD, is soliciting proposals under Call 05 "TALOS" to advance the design and fabrication of microelectronics technologies. This effort focuses on both commercial and government-developed sensor signal generation and processing to mature, verify, and assure next-generation national defense capabilities. The primary objective is to construct prototype systems through experimentation and testing that demonstrate microelectronics capabilities providing technical offsets for autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, electronic warfare, data processing, and strategic applications.

This solicitation is identified as FA865019S1932 and is classified under NAICS 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) and PSC AC32 for National Defense R&D Services; Defense-Related Activities; Applied Research. There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. Work will be performed at Wright Patterson AFB, OH, under the management of the AFRL PZL AFRL RYKS office.

The response deadline for this solicitation is June 1, 2026. Interested parties can reference five associated attachments, including the MINSAV ARA Call 05 document, a model contract, a contract data requirements list, and placeholders for the Statement of Objectives and DD254. Adam Wentworth serves as the primary point of contact for this notice.
