Opportunity Summary:
The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Basic and Applied Scientific Research is a standing competitive funding opportunity from the Department of the Army, Materiel Command, aimed at supporting a wide range of scientific and engineering research that aligns with ARL Directorates and the Army Research Office (ARO) priorities. The announcement is structured to solicit innovative research ideas across basic and applied science areas that can strengthen the Army's long-term technical capabilities. It is issued under FAR 6.102(d)(2), the Federal Acquisition Regulation authority used for competitive selection of basic research proposals, and awards made under this BAA are treated as the outcome of full and open competition under the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-369) and later amendments.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number W911NF-12-R-0011 and is categorized as discretionary funding within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area. The program is associated with CFDA 12.431 (Basic Scientific Research). ARL anticipated making a large number of awards (an estimated 1000), reflecting the broad, ongoing nature of the solicitation rather than a single narrowly defined project call. Funding instruments available under the BAA include cooperative agreements, grants, other transaction-like mechanisms listed as "Other," and procurement contracts, giving ARL flexibility to select the arrangement that best fits the technical effort and the level of anticipated government involvement.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the solicitation is open to essentially any type of applicant (for example, universities, nonprofit organizations, for-profit companies, federally funded research and development centers, and other qualified entities), subject to any clarifications that may appear in the full announcement under the eligibility section. The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants generally are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, though the full text of the BAA would govern any exceptions or specific expectations by topic area.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was originally posted on May 31, 2012, later recorded with a creation date of March 27, 2015, and carried an original closing date of March 31, 2017, with the current closing date also listed as March 31, 2017. The archive date is April 30, 2017, indicating that this particular listing is no longer active, though ARL BAAs are often renewed or reissued under updated numbers and dates. Applicants were directed to the ARL BAA home web page for complete topic descriptions, proposal instructions, and any updates.
For access issues or administrative questions about obtaining the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Andrew L. Fiske, Procurement Analyst with the Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Research Triangle Park Division, with phone and fax numbers and an email address (andrew.l.fiske.civ@mail.mil). A general "BAA Mailbox" is also referenced, which typically serves as a centralized submission or inquiry channel associated with ARL solicitations.
