On March 19, the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) posted an updated broad agency announcement (BAA) for Foundations of Trusted Systems. For best funding consideration in FY26, AFRL recommends that white papers be submitted by September 1, 2025.
This announcement is for an Open, 2 Step BAA which is open and effective until 04 December 2028. Only white papers will be accepted as initial submissions; formal proposals will be accepted by invitation only. While white papers will be considered if received prior to 2 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 04 December 2028, the following submission dates are suggested to best align with projected funding:
- FY26 by 01 SEP 2025
- FY27 by 02 SEP 2026
- FY28 by 03 SEP 2027
- FY29 by 04 SEP 2028
AFRL is seeking innovative research in technologies and techniques to establish trusted foundations for hardware and software that enables secure, resilient and affordable Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) and Cyber technologies (C4I and Cyber Technologies) information processing systems. This BAA is a follow-on to BAA FA8750-20-S-7012 entitled Foundations of Trusted Systems.
Total funding for this BAA is approximately $99.9M. Individual awards will not normally exceed 36 months with dollar amounts normally ranging from $100K to $5M. There is also the potential to make awards up to any dollar value as long as the value does not exceed the available BAA ceiling amount.
