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. University Affiliated Research Centers (UARC) are eligible to submit proposals under this BAA unless precluded from doing so by their Department of Defense UARC contracts. 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. Some topics cover export controlled technologies. Research in these areas is limited to U.S. persons as defined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) 22 CFR 1201.1 et seq. For Grant applications The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Public Law 109 282), as amended by Section 6202 of Public Law 110 252, requires that all agencies establish requirements for recipients reporting information on subawards and executive total compensation as codified in 2 CFR 33.110. Any company, non profit agency or university that applies for financial assistance (either grants, cooperative agreements or other transaction agreements) as either a prime or sub recipient under this BAA must provide information in their proposal that describes the necessary processes and systems in place to comply with the reporting requirements identified in 2 CFR 33.220 and Appendix A. Entities are exempt from this requirement UNLESS in the preceding fiscal year, it received a) 80 percent or more of its annual gross revenue in Federal contracts (and subcontracts), loans, grants (and subgrants), and cooperative agreements b) 25 million or more in annual gross revenue from Federal contracts (and subcontracts), loans, grants (and subgrants), and cooperative agreements and c) the public does not have access to information about the compensation of the senior executives through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Naval Research (ONR), through its Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare and Combating Terrorism Science and Technology Department (often referenced as ONR 30), released this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to attract new applied research and advanced technology development ideas that could shape future U.S. Naval expeditionary and counterterrorism capabilities. The core intent is not to fund incremental upgrades to existing programs, but to seed scientifically strong, technically ambitious work that could become the foundation for operational capabilities that do not yet exist in today s acquisition portfolios or formal requirements. Because expeditionary warfare spans a wide range of missions and environments, ONR expects proposals to be technically diverse and to push beyond the current state of the art where it matters for future warfighting.
The solicitation is structured around nine distinct Thrust Areas, each tied to an operational function considered critical to expeditionary warfare. A key rule is that each white paper and each full proposal must address only one Thrust Area. Organizations that have relevant concepts in more than one area are allowed to submit multiple responses, but they need to do so as separate submissions, each clearly mapped to a single Thrust Area. The BAA also notes that any discussion of specific systems or programs in the background material is provided strictly for context and to help offerors understand the current technology landscape, not to limit creativity or require work to align with a particular program.
From a funding and award standpoint, this opportunity is discretionary and can be supported through grants and or procurement contracts, depending on the nature of the work and the government s intended relationship with the performer. The estimated total funding listed is 45,000,000. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, and it states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted on November 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2013, while also emphasizing that white paper due dates and other timing details must be confirmed in the BAA and its application instructions. The full announcement was made available through Grants.gov, and the synopsis points applicants to open the FULL ANNOUNCEMENT section on the Grants.gov listing to access the complete requirements and topic details.
Eligibility is broad for nonfederal performers: all responsible sources from academia and industry may submit, and teams are explicitly encouraged. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to participate, including as part of teams, but the BAA does not reserve a set aside portion of funding specifically for them. Several categories of government affiliated organizations are restricted from receiving awards directly under this BAA. Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy national laboratories, cannot be award recipients, though they may participate in teaming arrangements when permitted under their sponsoring agreements. Navy laboratories and warfare centers, along with other Department of Defense and civilian government laboratories, also are not eligible to submit white papers or proposals directly; if interested, they are instructed to coordinate with ONR points of contact to discuss potential involvement, including participation as a teammate to an eligible prime. University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs) may apply unless their governing DoD UARC contracts prohibit doing so.
The solicitation highlights collaboration expectations that matter for planning and intellectual property strategy. Offerors must be willing to cooperate within an integrated program environment, which can include exchanging software, data, and other technical information with other contractors and with system integrators selected by ONR. In addition, some topics may involve export controlled technologies, and when that is the case, participation is limited to U.S. persons as defined under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Applicants also need to be aware of federal reporting requirements tied to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA). For grant type financial assistance, primes and subs may need to describe processes and systems to comply with subaward and executive compensation reporting requirements, with exemptions applying only if specific revenue and public disclosure conditions are met.
Administrative identifiers for the opportunity include Funding Opportunity Number ONRBAA13 004 and the title Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare Applied Research and Advanced Technology Development. Questions about accessing the full announcement electronically are directed to the listed contract specialist contact in the synopsis. Overall, the BAA is designed as a flexible ONR mechanism to discover and mature promising science and technology ideas across multiple expeditionary mission functions, with the expectation that the best efforts could influence or enable future Navy and Marine Corps operational capabilities.
