Interested parties should monitor the Contract Opportunities on the SAM website for updates on this announcement.

The document presents Amendment 6 to Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA8750-23-S-7008, issued by the Department of the Air Force. It seeks innovative solutions for the fusion, analysis, and reasoning of multi-source data to enhance command and control operations and cyber science. The BAA is structured as a two-step process, initially requesting white papers due by specified dates through FY28, with total funding estimated at $37 million. Key research focuses include: 1. Adaptive Knowledge and Information for Target Analysis (AKITA) – automation of intelligence extraction and systems integration. 2. Enhancing Moving Target Engagement at Scale (EMoTES) – improving targeting capabilities and sensor orchestration. 3. Publicly Available Information Ensemble Fusion (PEF) – fusing traditional intelligence with open-source data for threat assessment. 4. Agentic AI workflows – enhancing decision-making through advanced AI integration. Each focus area has detailed requirements and expected outcomes, emphasizing the need for innovative technologies to address complex analytical challenges in military contexts. The document mandates specific submission formats, evaluation criteria, and eligibility restrictions, specifically barring foreign participation. This BAA illustrates the Air Force's commitment to advancing its analytical capabilities while ensuring compliance with detailed operational guidelines.
