The Department of the Air Force, under the Armament Directorate, has issued a presolicitation notice for the Counter Air Missile Program (CAMP) Ground Launched Counter Air (GLCA) Enterprise Test Vehicle (ETV). This initiative is managed by the contracting office FA8659 AFLCMC EBI and is classified under Product Service Code 1410, with the place of performance designated as the United States. The primary purpose of this procurement activity is to solicit industry feedback on a draft solicitation package for the prototyping of a new supersonic counter air ETV weapon class. The Government intends to enter into a Prototype Other Transaction (OT) agreement pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 4022, leveraging the Armament Directorate’s Rapid Response Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for prototyping efforts. The focus is on developing an affordable, digital, open/modular, and highly producible ground-launched missile system that enables rapid integration and demonstration of commercial or minimally modified subsystems and components. This approach is designed to address the challenges of increasing system complexity and lengthy time-to-field cycles, with the ultimate goal of revolutionizing defense development paradigms through agility, efficiency, and innovation. The intended outcomes of this effort include the successful prototyping of the ETV, which, contingent upon funding and performance, may lead to a follow-on Family of Affordable Mass Missiles (FAMM)-GLCA development and production program. The Government is seeking innovative solutions and strong industry partnerships, inviting proposals from both prime missile vendors and missile launcher system vendors. The solicitation will emphasize leveraging industry expertise to manage the development and execution of these solutions. Key requirements and objectives include: - Development of a supersonic counter air ETV weapon class - Emphasis on affordability, digital design, open/modular architecture, and high producibility - Rapid integration and demonstration of commercial or minimally modified subsystems/components - Potential for transition to a broader production program (FAMM-GLCA) upon successful prototyping The notice also announces an Industry Day and one-on-one discussions with vendors, scheduled for 27-28 May 2026. Interested parties are encouraged to follow instructions in the attached document for participation and to receive additional information regarding the CAMP program. The formal solicitation is anticipated for release in early July, with contract awards expected no later than the end of September 2026. It is important to note that this presolicitation notice is for informational and planning purposes only. It does not constitute a request for proposals, nor does it commit the Government to any procurement or contract. Responses to this notice are not considered offers and will not result in a binding agreement. Participation in this notice is not required for future solicitation involvement, but responses may be used to invite participants for industry day appointments. The contracting entity is a federal office within the Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force. Primary and secondary points of contact for this opportunity are Garet Simmons ([email protected]) and Brent Barnhill ([email protected]), respectively. Additional details, including attachments and instructions for industry day participation, are available via the official SAM.gov opportunity listing (https://sam.gov/opp/8ec319c8a8fd423d806475dc170a2d26/view). Contractors evaluating this opportunity should consider their capabilities in missile system prototyping, digital and modular design, rapid integration of commercial components, and their ability to partner with the Government in innovative defense development. The requirements and objectives outlined in this notice are expected to remain constant throughout the contract lifecycle, focusing on the advancement of affordable, agile, and highly producible ground-launched counter air missile solutions.
