- Description
- The objective of this BAA is to encourage participation by science and technology based firms and educational institutions in meeting AF R&D goals for innovative ideas, technology based theories and approaches for research that is responsive to technologies identified in the BAA. THERE ARE NO FUNDS AGAINST THE BAA SOLICITATION. The AFLCMC/XZC Development Planning (DP) organization is responsible for bridging warfighter identified capability needs to the planning for acquisition of future materiel solutions. AFLCMC/XZC seeks insight and comprehension of emerging technologies to assist in meeting its mission to evaluate technology gaps and risks with informed consideration of current and emerging technology projects in the areas of Command, Control, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C2ISR), and for cyber systems. Technology projects may include empirical research, test beds, and proof of concept demonstrations. This BAA is conducted using full and open competition. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this BAA is presumed to be 541712 with a size standard of 500 employees. Although no portion of this BAA has been set aside for small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, historically underutilized business zone businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, historically black colleges and universities, and/or minority institutions, participation from all these organizations is highly encouraged. 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. Offerors 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 contract. 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 to agency programs, along with funding availability are primary basis for contract award. Cost reasonableness shall also be considered. Responses to this BAA are encouraged and sought within 30 days for each fiscal year's topics (see the attachment in the BAA). These initial papers will form the basis for timely discussions and planning of the fiscal year future studies. White papers/abstracts submitted after the 30 days will also be accepted under this BAA. The BAA technical areas of interest for the AFLCMC/XZC Development Planning research work are in the following topics: PCPAD, Cyber I & W, cryptography, GBSD, AMTI sensing technology, mitigation of windfarm clutter, secure IP enabled airborne networks. All questions may be directed to the point of contact points listed in chapter two of this BAA.
