A -- BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) SET-ASIDE FOR DIRECTED ENERGY AND SPACE VEHICLES RESEARCH BY HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES/MINORITY INSTITUTIONS (HBCU/MIS) SOL BAA-99-02-B POC Debbie Chisenhall, Contract Specialist, Phone 505-846-1326, Fax 505-846-2481, Email chisenhd@plk.af.mil -- Debbie Chisenhall, Contract Specialist, Phone 505-846-1326, Fax 505-846-2481, Email chisenhd@plk.af.mil WEB: Visit this URL for the latest information about this, http://www.eps.gov/cgi-bin/WebObjects/EPS?ACode=P&;ProjID=BAA-99-02-B&L ocID=1122. E-MAIL: Debbie Chisenhall, chisenhd@plk.af.mil. THIS IS PART 2 OF A MULTIPART DOCUMENT. COMPLIANCE WITH ALL PARTS OF THIS BAA IS REQUIRED. 2. Deliverable Items: The following deliverable data items shall be proposed: (a) Scientific and Technical Report(s), DI-MISC-80711. If Interim Technical Reports are proposed, the technical content of the interim reports may be incorporated by reference into the final report. Regarding the Final Report, the contractor shall propose 3 months between technical effort completion and contract completion as follows: 30 days to prepare a draft final report, 30 days for the Government to review the draft, and 30 days for the contractor to provide the corrected final report upon return (this date will be the "contract end date"). This report shall be prepared in accordance with Phillips Site (PS) Pamphlet 61-201, "Preparation of Technical Reports." This pamphlet is available from AFRL/PSTP (ATTN: Ms. Jan Mosher), 3550 Aberdeen Ave SE, Albuquerque, NM 87117-5776, 505-846-1328. The pamphlet is also at http://www.vs.afrl.af.mil/publications. Proposals shall include the requirement to adhere to PSPAM 61-201. It is possible the Government may need more than 30 days to review the draft report; in this event, the contract end date will unilaterally be extended the same number of additional days, required for the review. (b) Refereed Journal Articles. A proposal requirement for the submission of a refereed journal article(s) to the appropriate journal(s) for publication is deemed extremely important except where it is impossible to produce them due to the few situations where publication is not appropriate (e.g., Security classification, data rights, etc.). If you are not proposing to attempt to publish a refereed journal article(s), your proposal should address why it is not possible to do so; strong justification should be provided. Journal articles will require AFRL review and this review will be processed in accordance with the awarded contract public release procedures and any other contractual requirements (e.g., Contract DataRequirements List). Any resultant contract is anticipated to incorporate the journal article requirement utilizing DI-MISC-80711. (c) Status Report, DI-MGMT-80368 (quarterly, tailored to contractor's format). Regarding all data deliverables, only the minimum necessary data shall be proposed. The above required data is considered the typical minimum requirement, other additional data may also be required depending on the effort proposed. 3. Security Requirements: This program is anticipated to be unclassified. 4. Other Special Requirements: (a) This acquisition is a 100 percent set-aside for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)/Minority Institutions (MIs) with eligibility as defined in DoD FAR Supplement (DFARS) clause 252.226-7000. Offers from other than HBCUS/MIS are not solicited under this announcement. Clauses 252.226-7000 and 252.226-7001 apply. The offeror must represent and certify, as part of its offer, that it is a Historically Black College or University or a Minority Institution asshown in DFARS provision 252.226-7001. A HBCU/MI submitting an offer shall perform at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel with its own employees; and, upon request by the Contracting Officer, provide evidence prior to contract award that the Secretary of Education has determined the offeror to be a HBCU/MI. (b) Public Law 98-94 may be applicable to this program. When applicable, offerors must submit a DD Form 2345, Export Controlled DoD Technical Data Agreement, to the Commander, Defense Logistics Service Center, ATTN: DLSC-FBA, Federal Center, Battle Creek, MI 49117-3084, 1-800-352-3572, for certification. The offeror is required to submit a copy of the approved DD Form 2345, including the required certification acceptance, to the Buyer with each proposal unless the applicable Project Officer referred to by the focal point agrees such certification is not required for the type effort to be proposed. The Government reserves the right to require the certification after proposal receipt even if initially not considered applicable for the proposed effort. Failure to submit this certification shall result in non-consideration for award if it is determined to apply to the proposed effort. When applicable, certification is required before contract award. Offerors shall certify in their proposal that they will comply with all provisions of PL 98-94 and any other related applicable laws and regulations. (c) International Trade in Arms Restrictions may apply. (d) Proposals shall be valid for a period of not less than 180 days. 5. Additional Information. (a) Expected Award Date: Usually within 90 days of final proposal receipt but subject to change depending on funding availability, etc. (b) Anticipated Type of Contract: Cost Reimbursement -- No Fee. (c) FAR clause 52.216-7 will be utilized in lieu of Advance Payments. (d) Government-Furnished Property (GFP)/Contractor Acquired Property (CAP) is not generally contemplated for this effort. If your proposal incorporates requirements for materials, special test equipment, special tooling, and/or agency peculiar property, strong justification must be included which supports why it is in the Government's best interest to provide each of these proposed property items. Also, each proposed property item must reflect the applicable type of property category among the four acceptable categories shown above and how it meets the FAR definition in FAR 45.101/45.301 for each category. Proposals should reflect the policy that contractors are required to furnish all property to perform Government contracts since approval for facilities (neither CAP nor GFP) is not contemplated; i.e., contractors should not propose any property/equipment items which are not materials, special test equipment, special tooling, and/or agency peculiar property. (e) Individual contract awards are anticipated (but not limited) to reflect the approximate amounts shown for each requirement as specified in the area subparagraph of the "Requirements" section above. For example, a funding amount of $20-100K per year is expected to be available for the total AFRL/DE requirement. However, as noted above, AFRL's funding situation is not stable, and any award(s), if made, may be significantly below or above the anticipated funding. (f) Note 26 applies: "Based upon market research, the Government is not using the policies contained in Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in its solicitation (i.e., this BAA, number 99-02) for the described supplies or services. However, interested persons may identify to the Contracting Officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice."
