- Description
- The Space & Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) is interested in receiving proposals for projects that offer potential for advancement and improvement of Navy operations. Please note that this is an announcement to declare SPAWAR's role in competitive funding of meritorious research across a spectrum of disciplines. This publication constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2). No request for proposal (RFP), solicitation or other announcement of this opportunity will be made. This announcement will remain open until replaced by a successor BAA for approximately one year from the date of publication. Proposals may be submitted any time during this period. Awards may take the form of contracts, grants, cooperative agreements,or other transaction agreements, as appropriate. Proposal submission is not restricted in any way to any particular entity. All interested responsible sources may submit a proposal. Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Minority Institutions (including Hispanic Serving Institutions and Tribal Colleges and Universities), as well as Small Businesses, HUBZone Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses), and Women-Owned Small Businesses are encouraged to participate. Topic: Specific topics of interest will appear on the SPAWAR E-Commerce page at https://e-commerce.spawar.navy.mil. Click on "Headquarters," then "Open Solicitations." Topics will be added as needed. Proposal Preparation: Before preparing proposals, potential offerors are strongly encouraged to contact the point of contact listed in the specific BAA topic. The SPAWAR long range baa is a competitive solicitation. Proposals submitted in response to this solicitation must cite the BAA number and the topic name on the proposal cover page. Proposals should also be accompanied by a completed certification package which can be found in the file, "Representations and Certifications for Contracts." For grant proposals and proposals for cooperative agreements or other transaction agreements (other than for prototypes), the certification package is entitled, "Certifications for Grants and Agreements." For grant awards, it is anticipated that the selected proposal will be incorporated by reference into the grant award. For contract and agreement awards, it is anticipated that the proposed statement of work (SOW) will be incorporated as an attachment to the resultant award instrument. To this end, such proposals must include a severable, self-standing SOW without any proprietary restrictions, which can be attached to the contract or agreement award. Successful offerors not already registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) will be required to register in CCR prior to award of any grant, contract, cooperative agreement, or other transaction agreement. Information on CCR registration is available at https://www.ccr.dlsc.dla.mil/. All proposals must be submitted electronically in accordance with the file entitled "Electronic Proposal Preparation Instruction." If it is anticipated that access to classified material will be required during contract performance, the offeror is requested to clearly identify such need in the technical proposal. Pre-proposals or "White Papers" are frequently desired before the submission of final proposals. Read the particular BAA topic for specific information. Points of Contact Questions of a technical nature should be submitted to the point of contact listed in the BAA topic. If no specific point of contact is listed, contact David Bodner (619) 524-7193 the Contracting Officer. Evaluation of Proposals Award decisions will be based on a competitive selection of proposals resulting from a scientific/technical review. Evaluations will be conducted using the evaluation criteria listed in the individual topic. If the topic contains no evaluation criteria, the evaluation will be conducted using the following criteria, all of which are of equal importance: (1) overall scientific and technical 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 and key personnel who are critical in achieving the proposal objectives; and (5) the realism of the proposed cost and availability of funds. For contract proposals, the socio-economic merits of the proposal will also be an evaluation criterion. Technical and cost proposals submitted under this BAA will be protected from unauthorized disclosure in accordance with FAR 3.104-5 and 15.207. Government personnel will perform the evaluation of technical and cost proposals. Restrictive notices notwithstanding, one or more support contractors may be utilized as subject-matter-expert technical consultants. However, proposal selection and award decisions are solely the responsibility of Government personnel. Each support contractor's employee having access to technical and cost proposals submitted in response to this BAA will be required to sign a non-disclosure statement prior to receipt of any proposal submissions. SPAWAR reserves the right to fund all, some, or none of the proposals received under this BAA. SPAWAR provides no funding for direct reimbursement of proposal development costs. Technical and cost proposals (or any other material) submitted in response to this BAA will not be returned.
