Department of DefenseIssuing agency·Arlington, VA·via the SAM.gov Get Opportunities APIThis announcement is issued on behalf of the Navy Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program. The focus of this research and development opportunity is on targeted manufacturing improvements to directly impact speed, throughput, and industrial base resiliency. This is vital for developing the next generation of manufacturing capabilities that will enable the ability to build faster, arm faster, and repair faster.
We seek innovations that will fundamentally improve the efficiency of our shipyards, maintenance depots, and supply chain partners. Offerors must clearly articulate how their proposed research will dismantle existing barriers and contribute to a more robust and responsive industrial ecosystem, improving the resilience and competitiveness of the Nation’s shipbuilding enterprise.
The sBAA seeks innovations in manufacturing technology aligned with the Navy ManTech Program's strategic objectives, specifically targeting the Golden Fleet Initiative. It covers 6.2 Applied Research and 6.3 Advanced Technology Development funding categories. 6.2 areas include novel materials scale-up, advanced sensor integration, robotics/automation, digital tools, AI/ML, and non-kinetic capabilities. 6.3 areas include digital tools and intelligent planning, automation and advanced manufacturing processes, autonomous systems for inspection and maintenance, advanced electronics design and manufacturing, non-destructive testing, supply chain and logistics integration, and non-metallic materials for shipbuilding applications. Offerors must submit a white paper as the initial step; promising white papers will be invited to submit a full proposal. Awards may take the form of procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs).
