- A--Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is the Department of Defense (DoD) demonstration and validation program for environmental technologies. The ESTCP Office is interested in receiving pre-proposals for innovative environmental technology demonstrations that address DoD requirements. This notice constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in FAR 6.10 2(d)(2). Proposers should state in their pre-proposal that it is submitted in response to this BAA. Readers should note that this is an announcement to declare ESTCP's intent to competitively fund demonstration and validation projects as described in the E STCP Program Announcement. The Program Announcement can be found on the ESTCP Home Page accessible at www.estcp.org/. No request for proposals (RFP), solicitation, or other announcement of this opportunity will be made. Awards will take the form of contrac ts. Before preparing a pre-proposal, potential proposers should read the information provided in the ESTCP Program Announcement at www.estcp.org/opportunities for details regarding the program's objectives, proposal submission requirements, deadlines, and the evaluation of proposals. ESTCP is seeking proposals for environmental technologies in the following topics only: 1) Remediation of Contaminated Groundwater; 2) In Situ Remediation of Contaminated Sediments; 3) Characterization, Control, and Treatment o f Range Contamination; 4) Military Munitions Detection, Discrimination, and Remediation; 5) Control of Non-Native Invasive Species on Department of Defense Lands and Waters; and 6) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy for DoD Installations. ESTCP is seek ing these proposals as candidates for funding beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 2009. Awardees under this BAA will be selected through a two-stage review process. To be eligible for consideration, readers wishing to respond to this announcement must sub mit a pre-proposal, including a signed original cover page and proposal, five (5) hard copies, and an electronic copy in the form of one PDF file on a CD, referencing this BAA, to: Ms. Jina Saunders, ESTCP Program Office, 901 North Stuart Street, Suite 303 , Arlington, VA 22203-1821 (703-696-2127). Pre-proposals must be received no later than 4:00 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, March 13, 2008. It is strongly recommended that pre-proposals be sent via overnight carrier or certified mail to document and ensure r eceipt. Pre-proposals sent via fax or electronic mail will be rejected. Pre-proposals should be no longer than five pages, not including the cover page, single-sided, and a font no smaller than 11 point. All margins (top, bottom, left and right) should not be less than 1 inch. 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 web site at https://sems.serdp-estcp.org in the format specified in the Instructions. The pre-pr oposal must concisely describe what technology the proposer has to offer ESTCP, including its level of development or maturity, and its cost/benefit. The pre-proposal should use the following format (also described in the ESTCP Program Announcement) and co ntain the following information: 1. Short Descriptive Title; 2. ESTCP Topic Area (Select One): Remediation of Contaminated Groundwater; 2) In Situ Remediation of Contaminated Sediments; 3) Characterization, Control, and Treatment of Range Contamination; 4 ) Military Munitions Detection, Discrimination, and Remediation; 5) Control of Non-Native Invasive Species on Department of Defense Lands and Waters; and 6) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy for DoD Installations; 3.

The pre-proposal review step allows interested organizations to get initial Government feedback on their technologies without incurring the expense of a full proposal. The following evaluation factors will be the sole basis for reviewing the pre-proposal pursuant to this solicitation. Relevance and readiness for demonstration/validation are pass/fail gates. Proposals not passing the relevance and readiness gates will not be evaluated any further. Among the evaluation factors, Technical Merit is most important, followed by Cost/Benefit, Transition Potential, and Cost. More detailed descriptions are available under the Evaluation Factors section of the Proposal Instructions in the ESTCP Program Announcement at www.estcp.org/opportunities. A request for submission of a full proposal does not indicate a decision has been made to make an award for that work. Based upon the pre-proposal evaluation by the Government, each of the pre-p roposal submitters will be notified as to whether the Government encourages the submission of a full proposal. Instructions for preparing a full proposal will be provided at the time of notification. Based on evaluation of the written full proposal, each p roposal submitter will be notified as to whether the Government wishes to enter into negotiation for the award of a contract. Offerors are advised that only the Contracting Officer is legally authorized to commit the Government. Furthermore, ESTCP reserves the right to select for award any, all, part, or none of the proposals received. There is no commitment by ESTCP to make any contract awards, nor to be responsible for any money expended by the offeror before contract award is made for a demonstration. Mu ltiple awards may be made to address a particular topic area. It is expected that awards will result totaling approximately $1.0 million of work. For awards to be made as contracts, evaluation shall include the extent of commitment in providing me aningful subcontracting opportunities for small business, HUD Zone small business, small disadvantaged business, woman owned small business concerns, historically black colleges and universities, and minority institutions.

In addition, contract proposals that exceed $550,000 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.
