- Description
- BAA for FY2008-FY2010 Chemical and Biological Defense Initiative Fund & Chemical/Biological Technologies Directorate Physical Science and Technology Division New Initiatives THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION. The purpose of this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is to solicit research proposals for Chemical and Biological Defense Program, Defense Threat Reduction Agency requirements for the Chemical and Biological Defense Initiative Fund (CBDIF) BAA and the Physical Science & Technology (S&T) Division New Initiatives BAA. SCOPE: The DoD CBDP, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and the Joint Science and Technology Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JSTO-CBD) are seeking optimum approaches to meet technology objectives within both the Physical Science & Technology and the Medical Science & Technology areas for the CBDIF, and the Physical Science & Technology New Initiatives. PURPOSE: The CBDIF goal is to fund new and innovative chemical and biological science and technology projects across a wide range of military operations. Established in FY2003, it is Congressionally directed with the intent to provide funds via a competitive acquisition to non-Government entities. Proposals may only address those topics presented in Attachment 8 of the BAA. The Physical Science & Technology Division, Chemical and Biological Technologies Directorate, in its continuing mission, seeks new and innovative ideas for experimental and theoretical development of technologies to fill DoD requirements for chemical and biological defense. The goal is to identify and select science and technology projects that can be transitioned to joint acquisition programs. Proposals may only address those topics presented in Attachment 8 of the BAA. SOLICITATION APPROACH AND OVERVIEW: This BAA is a multi-year BAA, remaining effective for three years from the initial date of issuance, unless amended otherwise. Multiple calls for proposals may occur in conjunction with this BAA. The topics and timelines (Attachment 8) published in the initial issuance are firm. In the future, ongoing, new or emerging requirements may necessitate amendment of the BAA to include new or different topics. At any time that the topics are amended, new proposal submission milestones (timelines) will be specified and as applicable any limitations specific to the topics will be noted. Over the span of its term, this BAA will solicit basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development proposals for the topics presented in Attachment 8 and in effect at the time. Depending on the nature of requirements and/or available funding, each of these research categories may or may not be included in the most current List of Topics. Proposals may each address Basic Research, or Applied Research and/or Advanced Technology Development as specified in each topic. Proposals will not be accepted or considered that combine Basic Research with Applied Research and/or Advanced Technology Development. The Government encourages proposals that span a wide spectrum of possible technical and business solutions in response to the specific technology topics stated in Attachment 8 of this BAA. The Government reserves the right to award any combination of approaches which offer the best overall value to the Government, and to oversee any and all processes and approaches once ongoing. The full range of flexible assistance and acquisition related statutory authority arrangements available to DTRA are possible results from this announcement including but not limited to contracts, grants, and Other Transaction Agreements. Each of the several applicable procurement instruments offer different advantages, liabilities and responsibilities for offerors and the Government.
