[49ea3bbbcb2641fe81c773413ddc19c7] Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Request for Information for High Hypersonic Reentry Flight Experiment Program

• Source: sam.gov
• Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE.AIR FORCE MATERIEL COMMAND.AIR FORCE RESEARCH LABORATORY.FA9453 AFRL RVK
• Posted: 2026-04-27 · Deadline: —
• URL: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/49ea3bbbcb2641fe81c773413ddc19c7/view
• Relevance: 4/10 · FFRDC: unclear · Cost share: unclear · Foreign entity: unclear
• Lexical hits: AFRL, NAICS:541715, PSC:AC33 (score 6.0)
• Themes: Spacecraft power system architecture, Radiation-hard and high-reliability space electronics
• Fit: The RFI focuses on hypersonic reentry flight experiments, which involve extreme thermal and radiation environments relevant to JPL's high-reliability electronics and power systems. However, the scope is primarily focused on vehicle airframe and flight experiment integration rather than specific power system development.

[DE-FOA-0003612] The Genesis Mission: Transforming Science and Energy with AI

• Source: doe.sc
• Agency: DOE Office of Science
• Posted: 3/17/2026 · Phase 1: May 1, 2026 · Phase 2: 12/17/2026 11:59:00 PM
• URL: https://science.osti.gov/-/media/grants/pdf/foas/2026/DE-FOA-0003612-000003.pdf
• Relevance: 4/10 · FFRDC: unclear · Cost share: unclear · Foreign entity: unclear
• Lexical hits: GENESIS, Genesis Mission (score 10.0)
• Themes: AI/ML applied to spacecraft power, autonomy, and electronics
• Fit: The Genesis Mission is a $294M DOE Office of Science initiative applying AI to 21 energy and science challenge topics — including grid modernization, nuclear energy, advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, and quantum information science. Projects are team-based: Phase I ($500K–750K, 9 months) requires at least two institution types from DOE/NNSA national lab, industry, and IHE/non-profit; Phase II (3 years) builds on Phase I. AI/ML for energy systems is tangentially relevant to Section 345 power work, but topics are primarily terrestrial. Phase I deadline (May 1) has passed; Phase II closes May 19, 2026. JPL is a NASA FFRDC, not a DOE/NNSA national lab — eligibility as a team partner under the IHE/Other category needs verification against the full FOA.
• Eligibility quote: > Phase I teams must include institutions from at least two of: (1) DOE/NNSA National Laboratory, (2) Industry, (3) IHE/Non-profit/Other.
