interested in receiving proposals for long-range projects which offer
potential for advancement and improvement of naval operations. This
notice constitutes ONR's Broad Agency Annoucement (BAA) as contemplated
in FAR 6.102(d)(2). Readers should note that this is an announcement to
declare ONR's broad role in competitively funding meritorious research
across a spectrum of scientific disciplines. No request for proposal
(RFP), solicitation or other announcement of this opportunity will be
made. This announcement will be open for one year from date of
publication. Proposals may be submitted any time during this period.
Awards may be made at any time throughout the year and may take the
form of contracts, grants or cooperative agreements. Proposal
submission is not restricted in any way to any particular entity.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities, minority institutions,
and small and disadvantaged businesses are encouraged to participate.
Before preparing proposals, potential proposers are encouraged to
contact the ONR scientist whose program best matches the proposer's
field of interest as listed in the ONR Home Page accessible through
World Wide Web at http://www.onr.navy.mil. Proposers MUST state in
their proposal that it is submitted in response to this BAA. All
proposals should also be accompanied by a completed certification
package which can be accessed on the ONR Home Page at
''Grants/funding'' and then to ''How to Submit a Proposal''. For grant
proposals (normally submitted by universities) the certification
package is entitled ''Certifications document''. For contract proposals
(normally submitted by commercial and non-profit contractors) the
certification package is entitled ''Representations and
Certifications''. Award decisions will be based on a competitive
selection of proposals resulting from a peer and/or scientific review.
Evaluations will be conducted using the following evaluation criteria:
(1) overall scientific technical or socio-economic merits of the
proposal; (2) potential naval relevance and contributions of the effort
to the agency's specific mission; (3) the offeror's capabilities,
related experience, facilities, techniques or unique combinations of
these which are integral factors for achieving the proposal objectives;
(4) the qualifications, capabilities and experience of the proposed
Principal Investigator, team leader or key personnel who are critical
in achieving the proposal objectives; (5) realism of the proposed cost
and availability of funds. For awards made as contracts the
socio-economic merits of each proposal will be evaluated based on the
commitment to provide meaningful subcontracting opportunities for small
business, small disadvantaged business, woman-owned small business
concerns, historically black colleges and universities, and minority
institutions (0191) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0006 19960710\A-0006.SOL)
