Battlespace Environment Division Research Interests Kirtland | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Battlespace Environment Division Research Interests - Kirtland opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BAA RV 10 01) is a long-running Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) under the Air Force and Department of Defense research programs. It is positioned as a science and technology research and development vehicle, intended to support research aligned to the Battlespace Environment Division's priorities at Kirtland Air Force Base. The announcement itself functions as a baseline, standing solicitation that stays available for a multi-year period, with actual proposal requests released later as specific "Calls" under the umbrella of this BAA.

A key point in the posted description is that applicants are explicitly told not to submit proposals against the baseline BAA. Instead, the government uses the baseline BAA to describe general research interests and administrative rules, then issues individual Calls that define the specific technical topics, due dates, submission instructions, and any additional constraints. In other words, the baseline posting is not a live request for unsolicited full proposals; it is more like the framework and entry point for future targeted solicitations.

From an award and funding perspective, the listing indicates a total estimated funding amount of $58,000,000, with an award ceiling also shown as $58,000,000 and an award floor of $0. The instrument types listed are broad and can include cooperative agreements, grants, "other" transaction-like mechanisms as applicable, and procurement contracts, which signals that AFRL may choose different legal vehicles depending on the nature of a given Call, the maturity of the work, and the level of government involvement anticipated. The expected number of awards is shown as 1 in the summary data, but in practice BAAs commonly support multiple awards over time via multiple Calls; the definitive expectation for awards would normally be clarified in each Call rather than the baseline entry.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to a wide range of applicant types (for example, universities, small and large businesses, nonprofits, federally funded research and development centers where allowable, and other organizations), subject to any specific eligibility language that might appear in the full announcement or in later Calls. The posting also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so proposers generally should not assume a mandatory cost share unless a specific Call later introduces one.

Administratively, the BAA was posted and created on November 10, 2009, and carried an original and current closing date of November 10, 2014, reflecting a five-year open period from publication. The archive date is December 10, 2014, which indicates the announcement is historical/closed as listed. The program is associated with CFDA numbers 12.800 (Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program) and 12.910 (Research and Technology Development), which are common federal assistance program identifiers used to categorize the nature of funded work.

For questions or difficulty accessing the announcement, the point of contact provided is Jean Barnes (phone: 505-846-4695). Anyone interested in pursuing work in this area would typically monitor for the release of individual Calls under the BAA, because those Calls would contain the actionable requirements: the research topic scope, proposal format, evaluation criteria, submission method, security/classification considerations if any, period of performance expectations, and the exact deadline.
