There are no grant or assistance opportunities for this announcement. BRIEF PROGRAM SUMMARY: The Air Force Research Laboratory anticipates the release of an unrestricted Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to solicit research and development (R&D) that would meet the agency objectives of the Hypertemporal Imaging Space Experiment Program. The program will be announced on FedBizOps on or about 23 SEPTEMBER 2013. This is a pre-announcement notice describing the anticipated areas of interest for the Hypertemporal Imaging Space Experiment program (HTI SpX). The goal of the HTI SpX program is to collect data from geosynchronous orbit using newly developed sensing techniques to expand the AF's knowledge of hypertemporal imaging (HTI) science developed and patented by AFRL. The primary objectives of the EAGLE HTI SpX program are to research all design possibilities, develop plans and configurations for a HTI technology approach, design, build, test, and deliver a space-flight ready instrument capable of conducting HTI from a geosynchronous earth orbit. The HTI SpX sensor will be flown on AFRL's EAGLE Platform bus, and shall be supported for a minimum of 1-year operation in geosynchronous orbit. Options for additional sensors utilizing the same HTI SpX front-end optics may also be part of the final announcement. Additional technical requirements for the HTI SpX will be included in future announcements on FedBizOps. A full BAA announcement is anticipated on or about 23 SEPTEMBER 2013 and will be accessible at the following website http://www.fbo.gov. ESTIMATED PROGRAM COST: The Air Force Research Laboratory is contemplating entering into a cost reimbursement type contract. The Government has estimated a cost of $20-25M in order to meet the objectives of the HTI SpX program (estimated cost does not include options that may be included in the final announcement). This funding is an estimate only and will not be a contractual obligation for funding. All funding is subject to change due to government discretion and availability. All potential offerors should be aware that due to unanticipated budget fluctuations, funding in any or all areas may change with little or no notice. TYPE OF CONTRACTS/INSTRUMENTS: The Air Force is contemplating a single, cost reimbursement type contract. Successful offerors shall be required to have an adequate accounting system for tracking costs applicable to the contract. The anticipated period of performance for this effort is 60 months. NOTICE TO LARGE BUSINESS ON SMALL BUSINESS OBJECTIVES: The Government anticipates certain portions of this effort can be subcontracted to small businesses in order to meet the statutory goals. Large businesses shall consider and strive to attain, to the highest extent possible, subcontracting opportunities to small businesses. For proposed awards to be made as contracts (that exceed $650,000) to other than small Businesses, Subcontracting Plans shall be required in accordance with the requirements set forth in FAR 19.704, Subcontracting Plan requirements, and DFARS 219.704. As such, Subcontracting Plans will be evaluated and negotiated to ensure that submissions are compliant with FAR Subpart 19.7. For proposed Subcontracting Plans that are below the statutory goals, the offeror will provide accurate and verifiable information which demonstrates clearly why the goals will not be attainable.
