- Description
- Introduction The Joint Improvised Explosives Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), which is issued under the provisions of paragraph 6.102(d)(2) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), provides the vehicle for the competitive selection of basic and applied research, and that part of development not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement. Contracts based on responses to this BAA are considered to be the result of full and open competition and in full compliance with the provisions of Public Law (PL) 98-369, “The Competition in Contracting Act of 1984.” As the issuing agency, JIEDDO will not issue paper copies of this announcement. Any proposal documents or other materials submitted in response to this BAA will not be returned. It is the policy of JIEDDO and its contracting agencies to treat all proposals as sensitive competitive information and to disclose their contents only for the purposes of evaluation. Awards for submissions under this BAA are planned in Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. However, funds may not be available for all requirements under this BAA. No contract awards will be made until appropriated funds are available from which payment for contract purposes can be made. JIEDDO reserves the right to select for award all, some, or none of the proposals in response to this BAA. JIEDDO will not provide funding for direct reimbursement of proposal development costs. This BAA will remain open for no less than 180 days from the publication date. Proposals may be submitted at any time during that period. At the conclusion of that period, JIEDDO will either extend the submission deadline or publish a new BAA. See Section I for more detailed information. Approach JIEDDO will use a two-phased proposal selection process for this solicitation to minimize cost and effort of prospective offerors. Phase 1 will solicit and evaluate proposal quad charts and white papers. Section VII, below, provides detailed guidance on Phase 1 proposal preparation. Section VIII provides information on the Phase 1 evaluation process. Proposals found to have technical and operational merit during Phase 1 will be selected for Phase 2. Submitters will be contacted with specific instructions for Phase 2, which will consist of technical meetings as well as more detailed presentations and submissions to the JIEDDO acquisition management process. Subsequent to funding approval, full technical proposals may be requested. HBCU/MI and Small Business Set Aside The Government encourages nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses (SDB), historically black colleges and universities (HBCU), minority institutions (MI), women-owned businesses, and historically underutilized business (HUB) zone enterprises as well as large businesses and Government agencies to submit proposals for consideration or to join others in submitting proposals. However, no portion of the BAA will be set-aside for these special entities because of the impracticality of reserving discrete or severable areas of research and development in any specific requirement area. The final determination will be made based on the relevance of the proposal to JIEDDO requirements, individual technical merits of the proposal, and budget constraints within the mission priorities. To ensure full consideration in these programs, registration in the BAA Information Delivery System (BIDS), described later in this document, requires the appropriate business type selection as well as accurate up-to-date information. Limitation of Funds The Government may incrementally fund contracts awarded from this BAA as provided by FAR 52.232-22, “Limitation of Funds.” Contracts awarded to proposals submitted under this BAA are anticipated to be 6 to 18 months in duration. To facilitate incremental funding, submissions shall include the cost and schedule by a task-phased structure organized by fiscal year (October through September) with clear exit criteria, and shall be inclusive of all work to complete the effort including any options. It is anticipated that the entire effort will be negotiated with the initial contract award. Technical Evaluation Support JIEDDO will use contractor support personnel in the review, evaluation, and administration of all submissions to this BAA. All individuals that have access to any proprietary data shall certify that they will not disclose any information pertaining to this solicitation including any submission, the identity of any submitters, or any other information relative to this BAA. They shall also certify that they have no financial interest in any submissions evaluated. Submissions and information received in response to this BAA constitute permission to disclose that information to certified evaluators under these conditions.
