- Description
- NA The Department of Defense (DoD) Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) Office is interested in receiving proposals for research focusing on the areas of Cleanup, Compliance, Conservation, Pollution Prevention, and Unexploded Ordna nce technologies. This notice constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2). Proposers should state in their proposal that it is submitted in response to this BAA. Readers should note that this is an announcement to decla re DoD/SERDP??????s intent to competitively fund research and development for innovative and new environmental technologies that meet the focus areas set forth in the SERDP Program Announcement. The Program Announcement can be found on the DoD/SERDP Home P age accessible through the World Wide Web at http://www.serdp.org/funding/nonfed. No request for proposals (RFP), solicitation, or other announcement of this opportunity will be made. Awards may take the form of contracts, grants or cooperative agreements. Submission of proposals is not restricted in any way to any particular entity. Before preparing a proposal, potential proposers should read the information provided in the SERDP Program Announcement for details regarding proposal submission, the evaluatio n of proposals, and the individual Statements of Need (SON). Awardees under this BAA will be selected through a multi-stage review process. The government will not pay for any costs associated with the preparation of proposals nor travel to present oral pr esentations in support of the proposals. To be eligible for consideration, readers wishing to respond to this announcement must submit a preproposal white paper, including a signed original copy, plus six (6) additional copies to: Ms. Brenda Batch, SERDP P rogram Office, 901 North Stuart Street, Suite 303, Arlington, VA 22203-1821, 703-696-2127. Preproposal white papers sent via fax or electronic mail will be rejected. White papers must be received no later than 4:00 PM EST on Thursday, January 8, 2004. They must be in abstract form describing the merits and objectives of the proposer??????s project. The abstract should concisely describe what the proposer has to offer the SERDP Program and discuss (1) the proposed objective(s) and approach with a clear ident ification of overall innovation and scientific/ technical merits; (2) the proposer??????s capabilities and related experience, or unique combination of these which are integral factors in achieving a proposed objective; and (3) the qualifications and exper ience of the principal investigator(s), team leader(s), or key personnel who are critical in achieving the objectives of the proposal. Preproposal white papers should be no longer than five pages (not including the cover page), single sided, and 11 point. One attachment of up to three single sided pages of test data may also be submitted. The cover page must be completed and entered via the website at https://sems.serdp-estcp.org/index.jsp in the format specified in the Instructions. At a minimum, the prep roposal white papers should contain: (1) a title, descriptive of the research to be performed; (2) the name and address of the individual, company or educational institution submitting the white paper; (3) the abstract of the technical objective and descri ption of the approach including how the approach described satisfies the focused need in the SON; (4) the duration of the project along with a milestone chart with significant events; (5) the estimated labor cost, materials cost, burdens, and profit (if an y) by year; and (6) a one page curriculum vitae of the Principal Investigator(s) (not included in the five page preproposal count). Based upon the preproposal white paper evaluation by the Government, a submitter may be contacted for further information an d may be encouraged to submit a full proposal by a set time and date. The format requirements for the full proposal are set forth in the Program Announcement on the DOD SERDP Home Page. Each of the white paper submitters will be notified as to whether the Government encourages or does not encourage the submission of a full proposal. The white paper review step allows interested organizations to get initial Govern ment feedback on their technologies without the expense of a full proposal. A request for submission of a full proposal does not indicate a decision has been made to make an award for that work. Multiple awards may be made to address a particular SON. It i s expected that awards totaling approximately $2.0 million will result. White papers and full proposals will be evaluated against the following factors, listed in descending order of importance: (1) SERDP relevance (PASS/FAIL) - whether the submission resp onds to high-priority, mission relevant, DoD and DOE environmental requirements as described in the SON; (2) the approach, objective(s) and overall scientific and technical merits of the proposed technology; (3) potential for transition of the proposed res earch; (4) the qualifications, capabilities, and experience of the proposed Principal Investigator, team leader, or key personnel who are critical in achieving the proposed objectives; (5) realism of the proposed cost, and availability of funds; and (6) av ailability of other financial support for the proposed effort. For awards to be made as contracts, evaluation shall include the extent of commitment in providing meaningful subcontracting opportunities for small business, HUD Zone small business, small dis advantaged business, woman owned small business concerns, historically black colleges and universities, Veteran Owned and Disabled Veteran Owned small business and minority institutions. The North American Industry Classification System (NAISC) code is 541 710 with the small business size standard of 500 employees. In addition, contract proposals that exceed $500,000 submitted by all but small business concerns must be accompanied by a Small, Small Disadvantaged and Woman-Owned, Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9. The point of contact for this BAA for technical issues is Ms. Brenda Batch, SERDP Program Office, 703-696-2127 and for non-technical issues is Mr. James F. Bowers, HECSA, 703-428-7406.
