This BAA covers topics of interest to NRL at its Washington D. C., Stennis, and Monterey sites. Award decisions will be based on competitive selection of proposals resulting from a peer and/or scientific review. Evaluations will be conducted using the following evaluation criteria: (1) Degree to which new and creative solutions to technical issues important to NRL programs are proposed. (2) Feasibility and the offeror's understanding of the proposed approach and technical objectives. (3) The offeror's ability to implement the proposed approach as demonstrated by specific accomplishments in the technical field to be studied, by availability of qualified personnel and by appropriate facilities. (4) The degree to which technical data and/or computer software developed under the proposed contract are to be delivered to NRL with rights compatible with NRL research and development objectives. (5) Proposed cost and cost realism. Proposals involving cooperative research arrangements are welcome. Academic institutions, small disadvantaged businesses, historically black colleges and universities, minority institutions and woman owned businesses are encouraged to participate.
