AFWERX, on behalf of SpaceWERX, streamlines the acquisition process to get innovative technology to Airmen and Guardians more quickly. It accomplishes this through:
- A recurring solicitation cycle for Open and Specific topics, which creates a consistent pathway for companies to engage.
- An accelerated 90-day timeline between a solicitation’s closing and contract award.
- Reduced proposal requirements that save time for both companies and government evaluators.
- The implementation of programs like STRATFI/TACFI, which help promising technologies transition from a research phase to a larger acquisition program.
