When is the deadline for the Air Force Research Laboratory RFP?

The deadline for this RFP is Jul 22, 2026. Make sure to submit your proposal before this date to be considered.

What is Air Force Research Laboratory looking for?

This is a Department of Defense SBIR/STTR topic (OSW26BZ04-DV012) issued by the Office of the Secretary of Defense seeking development of high-speed nanophotonic spatial light modulators (SLMs). The solicitation requests compact, reconfigurable metasurfaces/SLMs capable of both amplitude and phase modulation at much higher speeds than current technologies (Phase II calls for demonstration >1 Gbps and kHz–MHz-class modulation) for applications including adaptive optics, LiDAR, free-space communications, and quantum sensing.

How do I find RFPs before my competitors?

Starbridge centralizes thousands of state, local, education, and university bid portals into one AI-powered feed. We monitor 24/7 and alert you the moment an RFP drops, so you're always first to know. Plus, we track early buying signals—like contract expirations and meeting minutes—months before RFPs are released.

Should I wait for the RFP to be released?

No. If you're not already part of the RFP writing process, you're already behind. Starbridge helps you identify opportunities months early through buying signals like strategic plans, board meeting mentions, contract expirations, and new budgets—so you can influence requirements before competitors even see the RFP.

How does Starbridge help me win more RFPs?

Starbridge helps you create winning proposals in half the time with AI-powered proposal drafting based on your product knowledge base. We auto-fill responses, generate compliance matrices, and provide real-time collaboration tools. Plus, you get verified decision-maker contacts and account intelligence to tailor your approach.

What results do Starbridge customers see?

Starbridge customers report booking 5 meetings in their first week, 40% lifts in campaign response rates, and identifying 300+ opportunities in their first month. On average, Starbridge helps sales teams book 30-40% of leads into meetings by targeting the right accounts at the right time.
