Air Force Research Laboratory Revives $10 Billion Contract Vehicle for Tech Development
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has reinstated a significant $10 billion science and technology contract vehicle, known as AMAC, after initially canceling it a month prior. The decision to cancel was made to reassess the requirements and acquisition strategy. The AMAC vehicle is designed to cover a broad range of unclassified research and development efforts. It aims to engage a pool of companies to explore new technologies and systems concepts, facilitating the transition of these innovations into military capabilities. The contract focuses on several core areas, including basic and applied research, data science, technology development, and digital architecture. The AFRL is conducting this procurement on behalf of both the Air Force and Space Force, with responses to the draft request for proposals due by June 15.
