- NA BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) DAAH01-02-R-RB04? HIGH EFFICIENCY DISTRIBUTED LIGHTING HIGH EFFICIENCY DISTRIBUTED LIGHTING SOL: BAA DAAH01-02-R-RB04, DUE 12 November 2002 POC: Adina B. Peyton,AMSAM-AC-RD-AY, Building 5400, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898 FAX: (256) 876-7600 WEB: http://www.darpa.mil/ato/solicit.htm. E-MAIL: hedlight@dpo.redstone.army.mil PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND DESCRIPTION DARPA's Advanced Technology Office (ATO) is soliciting proposals through AMCOM for innovative concepts relating to the development of High Efficiency Distributed Lighting (HEDLight) including high efficiency full spectrum light sources, coupling optics, op tical-fiber-luminaires, and integrated fiber-illuminators. The program objective is to enable significant reductions in platform vulnerability through the use of remote source lighting, particularly on Naval warships, with a secondary emphasis on enabling improved visual acuity of the warfighter. The technical objective of the program is the demonstration of integrated high efficiency distributed lighting fiber-illuminators characterized by the following series of Integrated Fiber-Illuminator Properties and Objectives: Electrical Efficiency (LPW): 50 minimum, 70 goal; Mass Efficiency (lumens per gm): 2 minimum, 5 goal; Output (lumens): 1000-5000; Color Point: 5700-6500 K CCT; Spectrum: D57-D65, full spectrum, white; Luminaire: fiber-integrated. To achieve this objective, offerors should emphasize illumination system or subsystem concepts that may contain high technical risk but if enabled would have commensurate high performance payoff. Technical objective goals for the illumination subsystems ar e described in the Proposer Information Pamphlet, which is available at Internet sites referenced elsewhere in this document. Offerors are invited to submit proposals to one or more of the subsystem and integrated illuminator topic areas described below. Offerors proposing to multiple areas should submit independent proposals to each area. Where synergies between topic areas of w ork would provide greater value to the government, these synergies and their consequent cost or risk mitigations should be called out in the respective proposals. The first phase of the effort proposed (base) should support the technical feasibility of the concept. Offerors should propose follow-on phases leading toward technology development. Based upon the success of the base efforts, a subset of the selected prop osals may have options exercised to initiate the technology development. The BAA and Proposer?s Information Pamphlet constitute the entire solicitation for this effort. No additional information is available, nor will a formal request for proposal, or other solicitation, regarding this research and development effort be issued. Requests for such information will be disregarded. TECHNICAL TOPIC AREAS (1) Full Spectrum Light Sources, (2) Optical Coupling (3) Optical-Fiber-Luminaires, (4) Integrated Fiber-Illuminators. PROGRAM SCOPE AND FUNDING As much as $5M in FY 2003, $6M in FY 2004, and $5M in FY 2005 may be available to fund efforts under this BAA. Multiple awards during FY 2003 are anticipated. GENERAL INFORMATION Proposers must obtain a pamphlet entitled BAA DAAH01-02-R-RB04 HEDLight (PIP) which provides further information on the above areas of interest, the submission, evaluation and funding processes, proposal formats, submission dates for proposals, and other g eneral information. This pamphlet may be obtained from the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.darpa.mil/ato/solicit.htm, or by fax or electronic mail from the Administrative Contact below. Requests should be sent to the administrative contact given bel ow. Proposals not meeting the format described in the pamphlet may not be reviewed. Proposers must submit an original, five copies, and an electronic copy of the proposal to mailing address provided below. This notice, in conjunction with the BAA DAAH01-02 -R-RB04 P roposer Information Pamphlet, constitutes the total BAA. No other formal solicitation regarding this announcement will be issued and requests for such items will be disregarded. The Government reserves the right to select for award all, some, portions of, or none of the proposals received. All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's needs may submit a proposal. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs ) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals; however, no portion of this BAA will be set aside for HBCU and MI participation due to the impracticality of reserving discrete or severable areas of research in the technologies sought. All administrative correspondences and questions on this solicitation, including requests for information on how to submit a proposal to this BAA, should be directed to the administrative contact below; e-mail is preferred. AMCOM intends to use electronic mail, WWW, and/or fax for correspondence regarding BAA DAAH01-02-R-RB04. Proposals may not be submitted by fax or electronically; any so sent will be disregarded. EVALUATION CRITERIA The evaluation of proposals will be accomplished through a technical review of each proposal using the following criteria. The first three criteria are of equal and primary importance; the remaining criteria are listed in descending order of importance: (l ) Overall scientific and technical merit, (2) Relevance to achieving the technical goals of the HEDLight program, (3) Approach to Technology Transition, (4) Offeror's Capabilities and Related Experience, and (5) Cost Realism. The PIP and other information related to this announcement may be retrieved via the WWW at URL http://www.darpa.mil/ato/solicit.htm.
