Description

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is seeking proposals for the ADEPT (Aircraft Defensive Electro‑optical Protection Technologies) program, which aims to develop counter‑measure solutions—including hardware, software, and advanced engineering—to protect U.S. aircraft and aircrew from electro‑optical (EO) threats. The effort is split into two technical areas: (1) Hardware & Executable Analysis of Threats (HEAT) and (2) Advanced Countermeasure Engineering (ACE). Offerors may bid on one or both areas, with separate technical proposals and statements of work required. The award will be a cost‑plus‑fixed‑fee (CPFF) IDIQ contract with an 84‑month performance period, and the total program budget is estimated at $74.6 million.

Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $30,000,000

The solicitation estimates the overall program budget at $74.6 million (HEAT $13.7 M + ACE $60.9 M). As the contract will be awarded as a CPFF IDIQ, the contractor’s earnings will roughly correspond to this total, assuming a single award for each technical area. Therefore a realistic budget range is about $70 million to $80 million, depending on final negotiated fees and any optional task orders.
