The Federal Aviation Administration’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration Office has issued Broad Agency Announcement 697DCK‑25‑R‑00278, with Call 001‑2026 inviting whitepaper submissions that advance demonstration and validation of systems and technologies necessary for the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system. The solicitation calls for innovative approaches within the broad focus areas of UAS integration, encouraging proposals that demonstrate operational readiness and can be evaluated for potential award within the two‑step BAA process. Respondents must partner with at least one FAA‑designated UAS Test Site, provide a Letter of Attestation from that site, and include a Rough Order of Magnitude detailing their cost‑share contribution.

Whitepaper submissions to this call are limited to ten pages (excluding cover, LOA, and ROM) and must be formatted according to specified naming conventions, emailed to the Contracting Officer by the January 9 2026 deadline, and accompanied by a 1:1 cost‑share arrangement up to a maximum of 50 % of the total project cost. The evaluation will consider the technology’s relevance to FAA mission objectives, the operational readiness of the proposed solution, and the availability of funding, which is expected to be approximately $12 million that will be distributed evenly among designated UAS Test Sites. The procurement is structured on a cost‑reimbursement basis with no fee, and the FAA retains the discretion to award multiple or fewer contracts depending on funding and technical merit.

Prerequisite standards include a 1:1 cost‑share matching and a Letter of Attestation from an FAA‑designated UAS Test Site.

The General Services Administration’s Office of Professional Services and Human Capital is soliciting offers for the one‑stop, multi‑agency acquisition vehicle known as OASIS+, an indefinite‑delivery, indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) contract that will provide professional, technical, and managerial services across a broad portfolio of federal needs. The current amendment (0008) re‑opens the solicitation as a continuously open, 8(a)-small‑business set‑aside that allows rolling admissions and the addition of new domains as government requirements evolve. Offerors may submit a single proposal for multiple domains, and the solicitation remains fully integrated with the broader GSA OASIS+ Master Contract and the revised Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO‑2025‑05) requirements.

The program covers thirteen service domains—Management & Advisory, Technical & Engineering, Research & Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental, Facilities, Logistics, Business Administration, Marketing & Public Relations, Human Capital, Financial Services, and Social Services—each identified by specific NAICS codes and subject to a rigorous qualification matrix. The solicitation establishes a detailed framework for labor categories, pricing structures, performance metrics, and reporting, and requires coordination through the OASIS+ Symphony Portal (OSP) with mandatory acknowledgment of the amendment, SAM registration, and adherence to the procurement’s cyber‑security, supply‑chain risk management, and contractual administration provisions.

The Department of Defense, through the Army’s Project Management Office for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems, is issuing a continuous‑marketplace solicitation to acquire innovative commercial solutions that enhance Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) capabilities. The request invites vendors to propose advanced products, systems, and services—ranging from full UAS configurations, autonomous air vehicles, and payloads, to sensing, electronic warfare, tactical communications, software for autonomous behaviors, command and control, and additive manufacturing solutions for rapid production. A flexible, open‑ended process is established, allowing industry to submit solution briefs, demonstrations, or pitches that address these broad areas of interest, with the opportunity for iterative prototyping and successive prototyping contracts under other‑transaction authority.

Companies participating may respond through two paths: (1) a broad “Innovative Warfighter Solutions” brief submitted to the designated mailbox, or (2) a specific Call for Solutions announced on SAM.gov. All responses are evaluated to identify gaps in mission‑critical capabilities, and the Army retains a solution basket for future consideration. Each offering must comply with 10 U.S.C. § 3458 governing commercial acquisition and FAR 6.102(d)(2) for other competitive procedures.
