ABSTRACT SUBMITTALS TO THIS BAA CAN BE MADE USING THE ABSTRACT FORM. Submissions should be made via the NAVFAC EXWC/PW BAA e-mail: navfac_exwc_PW_BAA@navy.mil. Submission process: This announcement is for abstracts/white papers only. Abstracts shall identify the specific topic area that the submission addresses with relevant Product Service Code (PSC) code located at http://support.outreachsystems.com/resources/tables/pscs/. Each abstract must be specific to one of the topic areas. Multiple submissions are acceptable. Abstracts will be evaluated on relevance and merit. The abstract may be supplemented by resumes and lists of relevant publications and prior experience with the technology and/or methodology. The abstracts will be evaluated thoroughly by a Government Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) to select technologies and methodologies that have potential benefits to the Navy. The TEB will consist of engineers, scientists, environmental specialists, and regulatory agency personnel who have experience in specific energy technology areas. The abstracts will not be evaluated against each other since each possesses a unique technology with no common work statement. When an abstract aligns with a customer need and funding, the NAVFAC contracting office may request a full proposal. Additional guidance will be provided at that time, regarding cost and pricing submittals in addition to a more comprehensive technical submission. Technical Evaluation: Unsuccessful abstracts will not receive a detailed description of the reasons for abstract rejection due to the anticipated volume of submissions. Unsuccessful full proposals will receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR part 15. Awards will be in the form of contracts. Average contract duration is one (1) to three (3) years. The government may choose to fund a base period with options. The abstracts will be evaluated based on the following CRITERIA, of approximately equal weight. 1). TECHNICAL APPROACH: The scientific/technical merits and objectives of the abstract, in terms of Naval relevance. All proposals must demonstrate an approach that will achieve a DOD technology readiness level (TRL) of 5/6, and successfully manage risk while achieving technological advance. Provide an explicit, detailed description of the approach. If options are required describe appropriate research activities which would commence for subsequent options. The abstract should indicate what tasks are planned, how and where the work will be conducted, a schedule of major events, and the final product(s) to be delivered. Offeror ™s effort should attempt to determine the technical feasibility of the proposed concept. The methods planned to achieve each objective or task should be discussed in detail. This section should be a substantial portion of the abstract. 2). PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR ™S and KEY MEMBER ™S RELATED EXPERIENCE: The qualifications, capabilities, and experience of the principal investigator, team leader, and/or key personnel who are critical in achieving the objectives of the abstract.
