- Eligible applicants include: Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility.
- All responsible sources from academia and industry may submit proposals under this BAA. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals. However, no portion of this BAA will be set aside for HBCU and MI participation. Federally Funded Research Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. However, teaming arrangements between FFRDCs and eligible principal bidders are allowed so long as they are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC. Navy laboratories and warfare centers as well as other Department of Defense and civilian agency laboratories are also not eligible to receive awards under this BAA and should not directly submit either white papers or full proposals in response to this BAA. If any such organization is interested in one or more of the programs described herein, the organization should contact an appropriate ONR POC to discuss its area of interest. The various scientific divisions of ONR are identified at http://www.onr.navy.mil/. As with FFRDCs, these types of federal organizations may team with other responsible sources from academia and industry that are submitting proposals under this BAA. Teams are also encouraged and may submit proposals in any and all areas. However, Offerors must be willing to cooperate and exchange software, data and other information in an integrated program with other contractors, as well as with system integrators, selected by ONR.

Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) issued a special notice titled "Compact High Power Microwave Sources and Antennas" (Funding Opportunity Number 13 SN 0006) to find potential performers who can bring forward new and innovative concepts related to high power microwave (HPM) sources and associated components, including antennas. The government is essentially signaling interest in research and development ideas that could advance compact, high-power microwave generation and the hardware needed to make those sources practical, integrated, and effective. While the notice is framed as a request for white papers and full proposals, it is important that applicants do not submit an application under this special notice itself; instead, submissions must be made through the broader ONR Broad Agency Announcement package identified as ONRBAA13-001, using that announcement's application instructions and forms.
This opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category, and it is tied to CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research. ONR indicates multiple potential award instruments may be used, including grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts. The notice also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means proposers are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although proposers can still choose to propose cost share if they think it strengthens their approach (subject to the BAA rules).
Timing is a key detail in the posting. The notice was posted on December 18, 2012, and lists an original and current closing date of March 4, 2013, with an archive date of April 3, 2013. However, it also provides a more specific instruction that full proposals should be submitted under ONRBAA13-001 by January 11, 2013. Proposals received after that January date may still be reviewed, but only if agency time allows and if funding remains available, which signals that serious applicants should treat the January deadline as the practical cutoff for full consideration.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted in the sense that it is open to a wide range of entity types, as long as they are responsible sources and meet the conditions in the BAA. ONR explicitly encourages participation from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs), and also encourages teaming arrangements and collaborative proposals, but it clarifies that there is no funding set-aside reserved specifically for HBCU/MI participation. At the same time, several categories of government-affiliated organizations are restricted from applying directly. Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy national laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA; however, they may participate through teaming arrangements with an eligible prime proposer if such teaming is permitted under the FFRDC's sponsoring agreement. Similarly, Navy laboratories and warfare centers, and other Department of Defense or civilian government laboratories, are not eligible to directly submit white papers or full proposals. Those organizations may, however, collaborate as part of a team led by an eligible academic or industry proposer, and ONR suggests that interested government labs should contact the relevant ONR point of contact to discuss potential alignment.
A notable programmatic expectation is that teams must be willing to cooperate within a broader, integrated program environment. ONR indicates that selected performers may need to exchange software, data, and other information not only with the government but also with other contractors and system integrators chosen by ONR. That cooperative requirement matters for prospective applicants because it implies the work may be part of a larger ecosystem of related efforts, and performers should plan for collaboration, interfaces, and information sharing consistent with the government program structure.
For practical next steps, the special notice points applicants to the ONR BAA portal (via the "Link to all ONR BAAs") for the actual submission package and instructions under ONRBAA13-001. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact is Stacey Crawford, Contract Specialist, at 703-696-0590, and the notice also references Grants.gov questions as a support path. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as ONR scouting and soliciting high-impact R&D concepts for compact high power microwave source and antenna technologies, with submissions routed through the ONRBAA13-001 process rather than through the special notice itself.
