Description
This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market intelligence and for informational purposes only. This announcement does not constitute a solicitation or a request for proposals (RFP), and no solicitation is currently available. Participation in this RFI is strictly voluntary.
The Government will not be obligated to award any agreement or contract because of this RFI, nor will it reimburse respondents for any costs associated with the preparation or submission of information. Submitting a response will not affect a firm's ability to submit a proposal should a formal solicitation be issued in the future. Facilities and infrastructure at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) are exposed to intense acoustic loads and sonic booms from an increasing cadence of launch operations.
Existing historical data is primarily based on aircraft overflights and has limited applicability to the unique pressure signatures generated by modern launch vehicles (including Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Starship/Super Heavy, Vulcan, New Glenn, and other current or proposed vehicles). The Government requires development of a scientifically defensible material testing methodology and a predictive engineering model to evaluate the effects of launch noise and sonic booms on both current and legacy construction materials, infrastructure, and facility types at CCSFS.
The effort shall support informed decisions on facility sustainment, retrofitting, or replacement. Reference the attached Statement of Objective for a more detailed description of this requirement. Please see attached RFI for further directions.
Please respond to the questions found within the RFI document if interested no later than 3 December 2026, 2:00 PM EST. You may address questions in a narrative, annotated outline, bullet or table format. Thank you!
