This notice is an addendum to the above-identified notice which was published on August 18, 2000. This addendum provides the remainder of the information intended for the original notice as follows: Offerors are also cautioned that (1) the absence of any communication between offerors and the contracting officer on these matters (real or potential conflict of interest) shall not preclude the contracting officer from conducting his or her own research and analysis, and arriving athis or her own determination relative to the existence of real or potential conflicts of interest, and (2) in the event of a determination of a conflict of interest, the government shall not be liable for the cost of proposal preparation and submission. The Government anticipates making multiple awards. Proposals may be considered for funding for a period of up to three years. Issuance of this BAA does not obligate the government to pay any proposal preparation costs. All responsible sources capable of satisfying the government's needs may submit a proposal that shall be considered by the Army. Offerors should recommend acquisition streamlining where appropriate. Teaming is encouraged, e.g., industry and U.S. Universities. Participation by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and Minority Institutions (MI) is strongly encouraged as either a contractor or subcontractor although, due to the impracticality of reserving discrete or severable tasks, no portion of this BAA will be set aside. This notice constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement as authorized by 6.102(d)(2) of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) which provides for competitive selection of basic research proposals. There will be no further solicitations regarding this announcement, however potential offerors should monitor the CBD for potential changes to this announcement. The government reserves the right to select for award any, all, part, or none of the proposals received in response to this announcement. Participation in this procurement by foreign vendors is allowed and encouraged, however foreign vendors must understand that access to some data, either furnished by the government or generated through contract performance may require a U. S. issued facility clearance, therefore teaming with a U. S. company holding U. S. Facility clearance may be required. Classification guidance for these efforts is contained in the CKEM Classification Guide (Draft) and the Kinetic Energy Penetrator. (0317) SPONSOR: U. S.
