Opportunity Summary:
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) is seeking proposals to create a K-12 Aerospace Based Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Mobile Teaching Vehicle, essentially a mobile STEM discovery center that can travel to schools or community locations and engage students through hands-on activities. The main purpose of the project is to increase student interest and learning in STEM, with a clear emphasis on aerospace-themed experiences and practical, interactive demonstrations that make STEM feel relevant and exciting both inside and outside the classroom. AFOSR indicates it is looking for an organization that can convincingly demonstrate the capacity to design, develop, and implement this kind of mobile learning platform within a one-year performance period.
This opportunity is issued as a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), meaning it is not a traditional procurement with a formal Request for Proposals (RFP). AFOSR explicitly notes that no additional solicitation will be released for this announcement, and applicants are strongly encouraged to communicate early with the designated points of contact to discuss the concept and expectations. Proposals will be evaluated on their overall merit, and reviewers will focus on how well the proposed approach could broaden and strengthen K-12 STEM education, particularly by showing students the benefits and opportunities that come with STEM learning and potential STEM careers.
Funding is structured as a single expected award of approximately $200,000 for one year, with the award floor and ceiling both listed at $200,000, signaling AFOSR is planning one award at that amount rather than a range of award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument types referenced include cooperative agreement, grant, and procurement contract, but the announcement’s framing is oriented around proposal submission under the BAA and selection of the organization best positioned to carry out the effort.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based educational institutions and nonprofit organizations. The program is associated with CFDA number 12.800, the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program, and falls under an activity category that combines education with science, technology, and other research and development. The opportunity was posted on August 22, 2013, with a closing date of September 30, 2013, and an archive date of October 30, 2013. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact is Rina Martinez, Procurement Analyst, reachable by phone at 703-588-8496 or by email at rina.martinez@us.af.mil.
