Expand scientific knowledge required to develop enhanced defensive capabilities against the NTA threat, with emphasis on addressing discrete data gaps associated with emerging chemical threats. b. Build spectral and toxicological databases necessary to advance NTA and emerging threat defense technology. c. Demonstrate fast and agile scientific responses to enhance or develop capabilities (e.g., detect, identify, report, respond) that address NTAs, emerging threats and items of priority interest. Solicitation Approach and Overview The DOD CBDP, DTRA, and the Joint Science and Technology Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JSTO-CBD) are seeking optimum approaches to meet technology objectives within the following areas: Diagnostics; Detection, and Disease Surveillance; Physical Science and Technology; Translational Medical; Advanced and Emerging Threats; and Information Systems Capability. This BAA remains effective for proposal selection for three years from the initial date of issuance with the ability to award contracts for four years. Multiple calls for proposals may occur in conjunction with this BAA. The topics and milestones (Attachment 9) published in the initial issuance are firm. In the future, ongoing, new or emerging requirements may necessitate amendment of the BAA to include new or different topics. At any time when new topics are added, Attachment 9 will be amended to incorporate new topics and milestones associated the time period for submissions. These amendments are expected periodically throughout the effect date of the BAA. The BAA may also have a continuously open period (until closed) in which proposal submissions will not be restricted to a standard 30 day Phase I proposal submission. This BAA and amendments issued thereto will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. It is the responsibility of the Offerors and interested parties to be aware of BAA amendments by regularly checking the FedBizOpps website or by registering at www.fbo.gov to receive notifications and updates to this specific solicitation. Proposals will be accepted and considered for Applied Research and/or Advanced Technology Development budget activity efforts in support of each topic. Basic Research may only be proposed if combined with either of the aforementioned budget activities. This BAA will not consider Advanced Component Development and Prototypes under Section 819 of Public Law 111-84. However, Offerors may propose efforts necessary to evalute integrated advanced development to expedite technology transition from the laboratory to operational use under a final option and limited to a period of one year while a new competitive effort can be awarded. Depending on the nature of requirements and/or available funding, each of these research categories may or may not be included in the most current List of Topics. A full range of flexible acquisition related statutory authority arrangements available to DTRA are possible resulting from this announcement, including but not limited to, contracts and Other Transaction Agreements (OTA). The Government does not intend to award grants or cooperative agreements under this solicitation. The Government intends to award the most suitable contract type for each selected proposal, which may include Fixed Price, Cost Reimbursement and Cost Plus Fixed Fee type contracts. Except for OTAs, the Government actions under this BAA shall adhere to the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). Questions/Correspondence The e-mail address for all UNCLASSIFIED BAA correspondence and questions is FY14-17-NTA-BAA@dtra.mil ; the e-mail address for all CLASSIFIED BAA correspondence and questions is FY14-17-NTA-BAA@dtra.smil.mil. All questions must include the BAA number in the subject line. DTRA will post UNCLASSIFIED questions and answers to the FedBizOpps website that are relevant to all potential Offerors.
