- THERE ARE NO FUNDS AGAINST THE BAA SOLICITATION. GO TO THE FOLLOWING WEB SITE UNDER BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES TO VIEW THE ENTIRE BAA SOLICITATION FOR FULL DETAILS: https://www3.natick.army.mil The U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center (NSC) Broad Ag ency Announcement (BAA) identifies scientific and technical areas of interest for research and/or exploratory development. This BAA is conducted using full and open competition. In an effort to minimize proposal preparation cost, this BAA utilizes a two- step process. The first step will be the submission of a concept paper. Offerors that submit concept papers that are consistent with the intent of the BAA, and are of interest to the government will be invited to submit a proposal (step two). Such an invit ation does not assure that the submitting organization will be awarded a contract. Instructions for the submission of concept papers and proposals are contained in the BAA. The submission of a concept paper is required prior to the submission of a proposal . Failure to follow this two-step process may preclude the chance for award. Proposals submitted in response to the BAA will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in the BAA. Technical evaluations will employ a peer or scienti fic review process. A proposal's technical evaluation, and its importance to agency programs, along with funding availability are primary bases for contract award. Cost realism and reasonableness shall also be considered to the extent appropriate. Conce pt papers will be accepted continuously through 28 February 2009. This BAA will remain open continuously through 31 March 2009. The BAA technical areas of interest are divided into the following groups: 1. Combat Feeding Equipment and Systems (objectives focus on combat food service equipment for individual and group feeding, and unit/organization equipment); 2. Combat Ration Research and Development; 3. Warrior Systems Technologies (objectives focus on ballistic protection for individuals, integrated pro tective helmet, modular personnel protection system (MPPS), chemical/biological protection for individuals, flame and thermal protection for the individual soldier, countersurveillance, body worn interactive materials, body-worn systems, hand held devices, and smart-lightweight electronic components/modules for soldier protection, knowledge management and cognitive improvement, biomechanics, materials nanotechnology, lightweight conformal solar cells, anthropometry, advanced protection and integration techn ologies and systems, warrior performance and soldier-borne power source); 4.
