A -- CENTERWIDE BAA, PART 6 OF 6 SOL BAA 00-01 DUE 061500 POC G. Palmer, Contract Negotiator at (401) 832-1645; FAX (401) 832-4820 WEB: Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport, http://www.npt.nuwc.navy.mil/contract. E-MAIL: Gerard Palmer, Contract Negotiator, palmerge@npt.nuwc.navy.mil. NAVY POTENTIAL CONTRACTOR PROGRAM (NPCP) Separate from the policies and procedures stated herein for BAA 00-01, NUWCDIVNPT is interested in entering into Navy Potential Contractor Program (NPCP) agreements in a variety of technological areas. An NPCP agreement: (1) is an information access agreement between a government laboratory and a company, university or individual that/who has the potential to become a Navy contractor; (2) is entered into at the discretion of the government when a company is willing to devote some of its resources for the exploration of relevant mission areas; and (3) provides a vehicle (a) for information exchange critical to submitting knowledgeable, responsible bids and planning IR&D efforts, and (b) for access to relevant meetings and conferences requiring a need-to-know certification If you are interested in obtaining further information about the Navy Potential Contractor Program, please call Michael Keshura, (401) 832-1151, FAX (401) 832-1725, e-mail: keshuram@npt.nuwc.navy.mil, or write Code 104, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Bldg. 990/3, 1176 Howell St., Newport, RI 02841-1708. PATENT LICENSING AND COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS (CRADAs) Separate from the policies and procedures stated herein for BAA 00-01, NUWCDIVNPT is also interested in developing partnerships to pursue research and development in a variety of technological areas. This notice is not a procurement solicitation. It is a request to pursue opportunities to leverage assets for mutual benefit, a win/win situation. NUWCDIVNPT goals for these partnerships are: 1) to transfer technology out of the laboratory to promote its commercialization, improve the environment, and provide high-quality jobs for U.S. workers, and 2) to help insure the best equipment at cost-effective prices for the Navy. NUWCDIVNPT has unique scientific and technical facilities, personnel, databases, and know-how associated with the technological areas listed in this Science and Technology BAA. Inquiries, proposals, and discussion papers are invited. These may cover a range of activities from using the unique laboratory facilities or licensing patents, to participation in cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs). CRADAs are agreements between Federal Agencies and non-federal parties including corporations, partnerships, limited partnerships, universities, state and local governments, public and private foundations, nonprofit organizations and individuals, including licensees of inventions owned by a Federal agency. NUWCDIVNPT has participated in 53 CRADAs and, in FY99, was awarded 68 patents. If you would like a list of NUWCDIVNPT patents or are interested in a partnership with NUWCDIVNPT, please call Dr. Theresa A. Baus at (401) 832-8728, e-mail: bausta@npt.nuwc.navy.mil, or write Code 105, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, 1176 Howell St., Newport, RI 02841-1708. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVES: Separate from the policies and procedures stated herein for BAA 00-01, NUWCDIVNPT is also interested in establishing government/academia/industry teaming relationships for the development of joint advanced technology initiative proposals related to submarine combat systems, submarine electromagnetic systems, submarine weapon systems, combat systems analysis, surface ASW systems, and test and evaluation facilities or any other Science & Technology topic area listed in this BAA. A number of recent DoD initiatives are designed to gain efficiencies through new investment strategies, which include S&T Grand Challenges, Future Naval Capabilities, and the SUBTECH process. The goal of the "Future Naval Capability" process is to provide critical mass investments (SPIKES) leading to transition of key enabling technologies to acquisition programs. The FNC investment programs have specific time lines, well defined demonstrations and programmed transitions to identified acquisition. Approaches involving partnerships with industry and academia are designed to gain efficiencies and to produce "spin on" and spin off" of technologies as well as so-called dual use technologies. NUWCDIVNPT is interested in initiatives in support of the these new S&T processes and resulting transition into next generation submarine builds and other Mine and Undersea Warfare concepts. Further information about Science and Technology teaming opportunities may be obtained by contacting Pamela Lisiewicz/Code 10A at (401) 832-4490, E-mail: lisiewiczp@npt.nuwc.navy.mil, or write Code 10A, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, Bldg. 990/3, 1176 Howell Street, Newport, RI 02841-1708.
