- Description
- Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Innovative Environmental Technologies. This announcement constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE), Technology Transfer Division (ERT) under FAR 6.102(d)(2). This announcement is open for one year and will be advertised annually. This announcement seeks out technologies to reduce environmental impacts from current and past Air Force (AF) operations and apply to Air Force installations worldwide. AFCEE is interested in environmental technologies that apply promising field-tested innovative technologies. This is not to test theoretical concepts of technologies that currently exist in a laboratory research and development (R&D) phase. The following are examples of technologies the AF is interested in, as well as the different contaminates: Chemical Treatment; Process Optimization; Decision Support Software; Pollution Prevention; Enhanced Bioremediation; Sensors; Permeable Reactive Barrier; Site Characterization; Phytoremediation; Unexploded Ordnance Detection/Clearance; Physical Treatment and others. Chlorinated Aliphatic Hydrocarbons, Chlorinated Pesticides/Herbicides, Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) Dioxin, Energetics, Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (LNAPL); Metals, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH); polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) Petroleum Hydrocarbons, perchlorate, Unexploded Ordnance. Proposal submittal is a two-phase process. Phase I Offerors submit proposals by completing a short questionnaire on the AFCEE web page developed specifically to facilitate proposal submittal in the BAA program. The requested information includes: description of the technology being proposed and a discussion of the technical benefits to include the type of site and specific problem addressed; contamination and media treated; qualifications of the offeror; estimated cost range of the technology. Limits to the length of each section are noted in the web-based proposal form. Phase I submittals are due NO LATER THAN 4:00 PM CST, 1 NOV 2002. Phase I submittals received after 1 NOV 2002, but prior to the expiration date of this BAA, may or may not be evaluated. However, these proposal will be held for possible action until expiration date of this BAA. The Phase I proposals are evaluated by the Air Force?s Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) using the same selection criteria used to evaluate Phase II proposals. It is critical that the offeror convey the above information accurately and concisely so that proposal evaluators can judge the merits of the proposed demonstration. Those proposals that are judged innovative and meet program requirements are selected for further evaluation in Phase II. Offerors whose proposals are not selected are notified electronically of this decision, while those selected are similarly notified and invited to submit a Phase II proposal as an attachment to the electronic format provided via Internet link. Phase II proposals are to include expanded descriptions/discussion of the following information: technology proposed including results of previous development/demonstration, pilot-scale or treatability studies. Described in sufficient detail to enable reviewers to understand the nature and probability of successful application. To include the types of contaminants treated, the media (i.e., groundwater) treated, and any limitations known to affect the application. Benefits to the USAF. This should include a comparison with existing technologies used to treat the same contaminants, and how the proposed technology improves cleanup over existing technology and/or lowers the cost of environmental restoration/prevention. The objectives of the proposed technology field demonstration, the tasks to be accomplished during the demonstration, the project schedule, and the location or type of site recommended for demonstration. The qualifications of the offeror to successfully perform the technology demonstration. The above is restricted to ten (10) pages of technical information, exclusive of a title page, 2-page executive summary, 3 pages for resumes of key personnel, and a cost proposal. The format of the technical proposal will be stated in the electronic submittal form. Submittals to this BAA shall be through the following Internet address http://www.afcee.brooks.af.mil/er/baa/baa.asp . Each electronic form shall address only one technology and one topic. Separate forms shall be submitted for each additional topic or additional technology. Response time for Phase II submittal will be 30 days from electronic notice. The submittal shall concisely describe the technology and shall be evaluated according to the criteria stated in this announcement. No additional data may be submitted for this BAA. If additional data is submitted, it will be discarded. Abstracts will be evaluated on their own merits and will not be evaluated against each other. The TEB will evaluate the submittals to this BAA. Vendor submittals that meet all of the evaluation criteria will be accepted into the BAA program. Once accepted into the program, the abstract will be shared with appropriate DOD personnel for consideration. Vendor submittals having a technology or process applicable to a specific environmental need may be asked to contract for a field application. Multiple contracts may result. THERE IS NO COMMITMENT BY THE AIR FORCE EITHER TO MAKE ANY CONTRACT AWARDS OR TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MONEY EXPENDED BY THE OFFEROR BEFORE A CONTRACT AWARD. The abstracts will be evaluated based on the following criteria (listed in descending order of importance): The scientific/technical merits of the proposed technology. A clear understanding of how the proposed technology will improve upon current commercially available technologies. The cost effectiveness of the technology in comparison with other competing technologies and meets a significant Air Force need. CRITICAL NOTE: A CONTRACTOR LICENSE/REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS BAA, BUT A CONTRACTOR IS REQUIRED TO REGISTER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (CCR). NO CONTRACT AWARD WILL BE MADE TO ANY CONTRACTOR THAT IS NOT REGISTERED OR IN THE PROCESS OF REGISTRATING WITH THE DOD CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION. AN INTERNET LINK IS PROVIDED ON THE QUESTIONAIRRE FOR THE PHASE I SUBMITTAL. NOTES: The preceding data should be sufficient for completing an electronic form. There are no solicitation documents applying to this BAA. As no funding for contracts has been reserved in advance, AFCEE will be sharing qualified abstracts with other Federal Government activities to seek sites and funding. Some Federal Government activities may employ civilian contractors to determine the applicability of an offered technology to specific environmental projects. Any information that may be sensitive to review by such personnel should not be submitted. 311th HSW/PKV Contracts Office will reply to all offerors once the (TEB) has reviewed all forms submitted. For questions regarding this BAA, call 311th HSW/PKVCB at (210) 536-5270 or via e-mail maryjo.boldt@brooks.af.mil .
