Description

Attachment for BAA Call #2 UPDATE: BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT CALL #2 The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Remote Sensing Systems Directorate (SMC/RS) intends to solicit proposals through the use of a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) (see FAR 35.016) for research on advanced technologies to enhance processing of space-based remote sensor mission data and dissemination of the resulting information products per the attached announcement. Interested parties are invited to attend a Remote Sensing Applications BAA Information Session hosted by the Remote Sensing Systems Directorate, Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC/RS) on Wed, 14 Jun 2017, at the interim Tools, Applications and Processing (TAP) lab facility, located at 6304 Spine Road, Boulder CO 80301. Morning briefings will be at the UNCLASSIFIED level. Note: Registration is required on boulderlab.org. Only two representatives per company are allowed to register on a first come, first serve basis. Deadline for registration is 5:00 p.m. MDT, Thu, 8 Jun 2017, or when the limit of 100 people is reached, whichever occurs first. Walk-in registration will NOT be allowed. Check-in will begin at 8:30 a.m., a plenary session will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Afternoon briefings will be at the SECRET level. Note: Registration is required on boulderlab.org. Only one representative per company is allowed to register on a first come, first serve basis. Deadline for registration is 5:00 p.m. MDT, Thu, 8 Jun 2017, or when the limit of 40 people is reached, whichever occurs first. Walk-in registration will NOT be allowed. Check-in will begin at 12:30 p.m., a plenary session will take place from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Pre-registered one-on-one sessions between developers and the Government will occur on Thu, 15 Jun 17 from 09:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in 20-minute increments. Fri, 16 Jun 17 will be held as an overflow day if needed. All times are local Mountain Time. One-on-one sessions will be scheduled in order of registration. Registration is not final until confirmation from the Government is received. This is the second call of a five-year Broad Agency Announcement, with one or more annual calls for white paper submissions anticipated. SMC/RS anticipates awarding approximately five projects for a total of $10M for this BAA call. Individual awarded contracts are anticipated to range from $250K to $3M, with contract value not limited by any specific amount other than budget available and government determination of project priority. Funds available in future years for BAA awards are currently projected to increase by approximately 30% per year. DISCLAIMERS AND NOTES: This BAA will be reviewed no less frequently than annually and updates will be published in FedBizOpps. Any changes or cancellation of the BAA will be posted as an amendment. Calls under this BAA may be efforts in one or multiple research areas. If applicable, each individual call will have specific technical requirements, objectives, and deliverables PREVIOUS POSTING: BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT: The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Remote Sensing Systems Directorate (SMC/RS) intends to solicit proposals through the use of a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) (see FAR 35.016) for research on advanced technologies to enhance processing of space-based remote sensor mission data and dissemination of the resulting information products. The Remote Sensing Systems Directorate stood up an exploitation laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, in April 2016. The lab will have access to data from all Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) payloads and from selected additional sensors. The lab will have an open framework to make SBIRS data available to developers whose applications or services meet the framework's application programming interface (API). The lab will have access to live data and controlled data sets for use in development of algorithms and processing techniques from a wide variety of development organizations. The primary objective for this BAA is the acquisition of applied research for the development of capabilities in the below stated areas. Innovative concepts, methods or approaches are solicited rather than focusing on a specific system or hardware/software solution. These concepts, methods or approaches will be tested in a prototype system and evaluated by the end users to assess the potential to contribute to the operational needs of the SBIRS program of record missile warning/missile defense operations center or the OPIR Battlespace Awareness Center (OBAC). Capabilities receiving positive assessments will be considered for transition to operational applications via appropriate acquisition programs separate and outside of this BAA. Research solicited includes but is not limited to the following: • Algorithm Improvements • Data Storage and Dissemination • User Experience • Data Fusion This BAA will remain open for a five year period, with one or more annual calls for white paper submissions anticipated. SMC/RS has $6.2M available ($3.0M in FY16 and $3.2M in FY17) for contract awards for this BAA call. Individual awarded contracts are anticipated to range from $250K to $1M, with contract value not limited by any specific amount other than budget available and government determination of project priority. Funds available in future years for BAA awards are currently projected to increase by approximately 30% per year (subject to change). INDUSTRY DAY: Interested parties are invited to attend a Remote Sensing Applications BAA Industry Day hosted by the Remote Sensing Systems Directorate, Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC/RS) on Friday, 12 August 2016, at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics Space Science Building (SPSC), University of Colorado, 3665 Discovery Drive, Boulder, Colorado 80303. Briefings will be at the UNCLASSIFIED level. Note: Registration is required. Only two representatives per company are allowed to register on a first come, first serve basis. Deadline for registration is 5:00 p.m. MDT, Tue, 9 Aug 2016, or when the limit of 80 people is reached, whichever occurs first. Walk-in registration will NOT be allowed. Check-in will begin at 8:30 a.m., a plenary session will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., followed by a break from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and pre-registered one-on-one sessions between developers and the Government will occur from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in 20-minute increments. All times are local Mountain Time. One-on-one sessions will be scheduled in order of registration. Registration is not final until confirmation from the Government is received. Interested parties may register for Industry Day and view the bidder's library at: http://boulderlab.org DISCLAIMERS AND NOTES: THIS IS A SPECIAL NOTICE ONLY. This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a solicitation (Request for Proposal or Request for Quotations) or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. This notice does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Furthermore, SMC/RS is not, at this time, seeking proposals. Respondents are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice.
