Kaiju
This is an Air Force BAA for controlled-unclassified science and technology work, with white papers and proposals solicited later under individual calls, for eligible contractors that can meet the DD2345/CUI requirements.
⚑ BAA with future Calls; this notice does not itself request white papers or proposals · CUI-controlled; Attachment 6 requires access request and vendors must have active DD2345 · Federal contract solicitation; applicant restrictions are governed by the call and contracting rules, not by this presolicitation notice
This is an AFRL applied-research BAA in materials/manufacturing, computing/communications, AI, and national-security technology. That is largely outside IPPRA’s social-behavioral risk, communication, and policy research lines, so it would not plausibly be pursued here as PI-level work.
