This BAA covers topics of interest to NRL at its Washington, D.C., Stennis Space Center, MS, and Monterey, CA 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 submitted proposals contain new and creative solutions to technical issues important to NRL, and feasibility and the Offeror's understanding of the proposed approach and technical objectives. (2) The Offeror's ability to implement the proposed approach as demonstrated by specific accomplishments in the technical field to be studied, and by the availability of qualified personnel and appropriate facilities. (3) 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. (4) Proposed cost and cost realism. (5) The extent to which offerors identify and commit to small business, small disadvantaged business, historically black college and universities, or minority institution participation in the proposed effort. Proposals involving cooperative research arrangements are welcome. Academic institutions, small disadvantaged businesses, historically black colleges and universities, minority institutions and women-owned businesses are encouraged to participate. The announcement will remain open from the date of publication for a period of one year. Proposals may be submitted any time during the one-year period.
