Air Force Research Lab Cancels $10 Billion Contract Vehicle Amid Strategic Reassessment
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has decided to cancel a potential $10 billion contract vehicle, known as the AFRL Multiple Award Contract (AMAC), which was intended to cover a broad range of science and technology initiatives. This decision comes six weeks after the deadline for bids. The AFRL announced that the cancellation is part of a strategic reassessment to ensure that future procurement will better meet the needs of the AFRL enterprise and the warfighter. The AMAC was designed to acquire research-and-development support across various domains, including space, air, cyberspace, electronic warfare, and other cross-cutting technologies. The final solicitation for AMAC was issued on January 27, with proposals due by February 27. The AFRL is now reconsidering whether to issue a new solicitation for these requirements.
