- A _ AEF TECHNOLOGY Sol. TYN 01-001. Contact Sue Ann Watford, Contract Specialist at (850) 283-8621 or e-mail at sueann.watford@tyndall.af.mil. This is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) identifiable as number BAA 01-001, AEF Technologies Division, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/MLQ), Tyndall AFB, FL, is interested in receiving proposals (technical and cost/price) on the research efforts described below. Proposals submitted in response to this announcement shall reference the BAA number identified above. Responders will ensure that the amounts proposed will be valid for a minimum of 180 days from the date of the proposal. Proposals may be submitted until 30 Sep 01. There will be no formal request for proposals or other solicitations regarding this announcement. Proposals shall be submitted with an original, not exceeding 40 double-spaced pages plus three (3) copies. White papers will be accepted. Proposals shall be mailed to 325 CONS/LGCB, ATTN: Sue Ann Watford, 501 Illinois Avenue Suite 5, Tyndall AFB FL 32403-5526, marked for BAA 01-001 or e-mailed to sueann.watford@tyndall.af.mil. Requirements: The Air Force requires advanced technologies that facilitate the conduct of combat operations, and operations other than war, by Air Expeditionary Forces (AEF), and provide opportunities for reduction of the total ownership costs of combat systems. AFRL/MLQ solicits cutting edge proposals in the following general technology areas: Atmospheric Threat Protection - Identify characteristic emissions or patterns that enable detection, identification, and/or modeling of anthropogenic chemicals in or transported through the atmosphere. Develop and/or evaluate methods or technologies enabling localization and/or identification of these emission sources, for example storage, use, or accidental/deliberate release of toxic chemicals. Develop, evaluate, modify, and/or integrate technologies and/or materials that may provide protection from atmospheric threats, either inside or adjacent to forward operating bases, and that may contribute to reducing or eliminating threats to personnel and equipment. Develop chemical processes and passive or self-decontaminating materials that will reduce recovery time and provide a significant improvement in decontamination capabilities. Deployed Warning and Response _ Develop sensing, active and passive protection, and decontamination technologies for improved force protection at fixed and forward bare airbases. Develop systems for detecting and quantifying toxic materials or hazards (chemical, biological, radiological, and energetic). Provide technology for automated hazard warning/avoidance, neutralization or decontamination, and decontamination validation in operational areas and industrial sites. Develop technologies to technician operable/maintainable, affordable, deployable and modular, allowing rapid mobilization and demobilization. Hazard avoidance during operations will allow sustained operations tempo; assurance of effective decontamination of equipment and operational areas; and ability to continue operations in _shirtsleeve_ environment. Reactors _ Develop a rapid and efficient process for mixed base hydrogen peroxide (MBHP) production and a method for extending the life of MBHP. Develop methods for rapid evacuation of bulk chemical from aircraft, both in flight and on the ground. Explore, analyze, integrate, develop and develop process elements such as power and water generation, waste management, disposal, demilitarization and elimination of metals and organics from water. Air Base Operating Surfaces - Develop portable airfield evaluation technologies, expedient repair materials and techniques, lightweight high-strength materials, exploitation of in situ materials, surface and subsurface materials characterization, and measurement and prediction in response to traffic and environmental loads. Protection of Deployed Forces and Assets - Develop lightweight rapidly deployabls confidence in the effective pursuit of the effort considering the scope of the effort, the offeror's understanding of it, the competence and availability of experienced engineering, scientific, managerial, or other technical personnel, offeror's overall corporate experience (including past performance), and the availability of, or ability to obtain, necessary facilities to perform this effort. Cost realism and reasonableness shall also be considered to the extent appropriate. The Government reserves the right to select for award any, all, a part thereof or none of the proposals received in response to this announcement. Technical consideration will be given greater weight than cost in the selection decision. No further evaluation criteria will be used in source selection. The technical and cost information will be evaluated at the same time. Deliverable Items: (a) Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), DI-MISC-81183A, (b) Contractor_s Progress Status and Management Report, DI-MGMT-80227, (c) Still Photographic Records, DI-MISC-81206, (d) Presentation Material, DI-ADMN-81373, (e) Scientific and Technical Reports, DI-MISC-80711 (Draft and reproducible final, AFRL/MLQ format). The contractor shall be required to present a final formal briefing at the end of the effort to be held at Tyndall AFB FL. Any equipment or hardware developed under this BAA shall be delivered to Tyndall AFB, FL or a destination as directed by the government. Size Status: The appropriate SIC code for this acquisition is 8731 with a size standard of 500 employees. Firms responding should indicate whether or not they are a small business, small disadvantaged business, or a woman-owned business. Award Information: Multiple awards are anticipated. While no parts of this requirement lend themselves to being severed for set-aside to Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, or historically Black Colleges and Universities or Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI), the Air Force reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based on responses hereto. Preferred Type of Contract: Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF). Period of Performance: Maximum duration up to twenty-four (24) months. Security Requirements: Analysis capability, to include personnel and computer facilities cleared to Secret level, may be required. In such instances responding firms must have, or acquire prior to award of contract, appropriate security clearances. The security guide applicable to this BAA announcement will be provided on a case-by-case basis prior to negotiation. Notice to Foreign and Foreign-Owned Firms: Such firms are asked to notify immediately the Government contact point cited below upon making a decision to respond to this announcement. This action is necessary to begin review and clearance procedures. Foreign firms should be aware that restrictions might apply which could preclude their participation. Contact Points: Contracting questions for this BAA should be addressed to 325 CONS/LGCB, Attn: Sue Ann Watford, 501 Illinois Avenue Suite 5, Tyndall AFB FL 32403-5526, (850) 283-8621or e-mail sueann.watford@tyndall.af.mil.
