SBIR Opportunity Analysis

The Defense Logistics Agency Weapon Support is seeking an SBIR solution for the Weapon System Readiness Program to reduce readiness problems caused by shortages and delays in DLA-managed items needed to keep components and systems fully mission-capable. The work calls for innovative, cost-effective approaches that improve supply chain reliability, cut lead times, expand the supplier base, and support advanced manufacturing, reverse engineering, and alternative sourcing solutions. Phase I is limited to technical feasibility work on a small set of critical items, with the effort expected to include prototype development, coordination with the cognizant engineering authority, and compliance with CMMC Level 2 (Self) and ITAR/EAR restrictions on foreign nationals. Phase I is stated as not to exceed 12 months and $100,000, with the opportunity scheduled to open on May 27, 2026 and close on June 24, 2026 at 4:00 PM.

AI Summary
The DLA26BZ02-NV009 Weapon System Readiness Program (WSRP) seeks innovative, cost-effective solutions to address readiness challenges caused by delays or shortages of DLA-managed items critical for achieving fully mission-capable status. The objective is to improve supply chain reliability, reduce lead times, and ensure consistent access to essential materials and components. This includes engaging new suppliers, utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques, and leveraging reverse engineering capabilities. The program involves a phased approach, with Phase I focusing on technical feasibility for a limited number of critical items and Phase II expanding solutions to more complex components, scaling production, and integrating them into the DLA supply chain. The technologies developed have significant dual-use potential in commercial sectors like aerospace and automotive, offering opportunities for small businesses. The project requires a CMMC Level 2 (Self) certification and adherence to ITAR/EAR regulations regarding foreign nationals.
