- Complete QA for Phase I AFCEEBAA-11-001 BAA Phase I Proposal Instructions BAA Online Sample Form BAA Guide for Industry This solicitation constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE), Technical Restoration Branch (TDV) under FAR 6.102(d)(2). This announcement seeks out proposals that demonstrate and validate innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective technologies and/or methodologies that will lead to accelerated closure of environmental sites across the Air Force and serve the Air Force's future environmental needs. Validated technologies and methodologies must comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, policies and guidance in the Environmental Restoration, Compliance Restoration, and Military Munitions Response Programs. This solicitation is not to test theoretical concepts or technologies and methodologies that currently exist solely in a laboratory research and development (R&D) phase or that have already been tested and validated multiple times in the field (i.e. a service). The areas of need for this announcement are: Restoration Program: a. Priority 1 - Emerging Contaminants: Proposals should include innovative treatment technologies such as applied in situ bioremediation, chemical oxidation, chemical reduction, or other innovative technologies that specifically address emerging issues and/or contaminants. Emerging issues can be considered those chemicals, materials, or items that have the potential to affect the AF's ability to execute programs, impact schedules, increase cost, or alter a technical approach. Emerging contaminants should be those currently on the AFCEE Emerging Issues list, the Department of Defense Emerging Contaminants Action and Watch lists, USEPA's Candidate Contaminant List, and/or other contaminants that have potential significant Air Force implications as judged by AFCEE/TDV. Specific needs relate to the characterization of emerging contaminant exposure pathways and associated risks, emerging contaminant treatment technologies, improved technologies/methods addressing more stringent regulations, and the assessment of Air Force-wide impacts from future, or changing regulations regarding the detection and treatment of emerging contaminants in soils and groundwater. Example emerging contaminants of interest include but are not limited to: 1,4-dioxane, perfluorinated compounds, hexavalent chromium, chlorinated pesticides, and N-nitrosodimethylamine. b. Priority 2 - Injection Delivery Remediation: Proposals should include innovative methodologies for improved injection delivery of amendments including bio-augmentation, bio-stimulation amendments, in-situ chemical oxidation amendments, and other amendments to increase remediation potential in low-permeability zones. Eligible Offeror/Applicants: This requirement is restricted to US - companies, academic institutions, non-profit institutions, and/or government agencies. Foreign participants and/or individuals may participate as subcontractors to the extent that such participants comply with any necessary Non-Disclosure Agreements, Security Regulations, Export Control Laws, and other governing statutes applicable under the circumstances. Acquisition Overview: The BAA is a two-step process that includes two phases of proposal submittals: Phase I - submit a 2 page online form (white paper/pre-proposal) at http://www.afcee.lackland.af.mil/contracting/baa Phase II - if invited, submit a full proposal that details the technology, the demonstration, and validation approach, and the costs for the proposed effort. Relevant forms, samples and guides are found on FedBizOps and the AFCEE BAA Website. Evaluation criteria for Phase I are included in the proposal instruction document provided in this announcement. The anticipated award of AFCEEBAA-12-001 is Fiscal Year 12, 3rd Quarter. How to Apply: All Phase I white papers/pre-proposals must be submitted as an online form and can be accessed through AFCEE's website (http://www.afcee.lackland.af.mil/contracting/baa.) Each electronic submission shall address only one area of need and shall be in accordance with this announcement. PHASE I SUBMITTALS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 4:00 PM CST, 06 JANUARY 2012. Phase I submittals received after 06 January 2012 will be handled according to the rules under FAR52.215-1(c)(3). Evaluation/Notification: Phase I white papers/pre-proposals are evaluated by the Air Force's Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) using the evaluation criteria included with the proposal instructions. It is critical that proposals convey the requested information accurately and concisely to facilitate their review. Offerors whose proposals are judged innovative and that meet Air Force needs (as indicated in the Phase I evaluation criteria) are notified electronically via email to submit a proposal to Phase II (request for proposal); those not selected are notified accordingly. Offerors invited to submit a Phase II proposal are sent to key personnel contact information listed in Phase I white paper/pre-proposal along with a Request for Proposal (RFP) Package, Phase II instructions, how and when Phase II proposals are to be submitted to the Air Force. To be eligible for an award, submission of Phase I is required. Award may be made with or without discussion. Universities and Small Businesses may contact Small Business Development Center Network for assistance with Phase II proposal preparation at the following address Small Business Development Center Network Contracting Resource Center Deirdre Pattillo, SPHR Deirdre.pattilo@utsa.edu 210-458-2458 Notes: This is the first solicitation to FY12 BAA announcement. If an Offeror has submitted to previous AFCEE BAA solicitations and would like to be reconsidered under this announcement, the Offeror will need to re-submit a new or revised pre-proposal/white paper as stated below. Please review past AFCEEBAA-11-001 Complete Questions and Answers (attached) for Phase I before submitting a question to the Contracting Officer. Please direct all question of a contracting and technical nature to the Point of Contacts below to help facilitate better coordination. All Q&A will be posted through FedBiz Ops in a timely manner. All other deadlines and information remain the same. Contracting Points of Contact: Robert T.
