- Description
- NA The U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center (NSC) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) identifies scientific and technical areas of interest for research and/or exploratory development. This solicitation can be viewed on the Internet at https://www3.natick.arm y.mil under the Business Opportunities heading. This BAA is conducted using full and open competition. In an effort to minimize proposal preparation cost, this BAA utilizes a two-step process. The first step will be the submission of a concept paper. Offe rors that submit concept papers that are consistent with the intent of the BAA, and are of interest to the government will be invited to submit a proposal (step two). Such an invitation does not assure that the submitting organization will be awarded a con tract. Instructions for the submission of concept papers and proposals are contained in the BAA. The submission of a concept paper is required prior to the submission of a proposal. Failure to follow this two-step process may preclude the chance for award . Proposals submitted in response to the BAA will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in the BAA. Technical evaluations will employ a peer or scientific review process. A proposal's technical evaluation, and its importance t o agency programs, along with funding availability are primary bases for contract award. Cost realism and reasonableness shall also be considered to the extent appropriate. Concept papers will be accepted continuously through 28 February 2005. This BAA will remain open continuously through 31 March 2005. The BAA technical areas of interest are divided into the following groups: 1.
