Opportunity Summary:
The "Long Range BAA for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology" is an Office of Naval Research (ONR) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) intended to attract a wide range of science and technology research ideas that could benefit the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Rather than being a one-time, narrowly defined solicitation, it is structured as a long-range, open research announcement under federal acquisition and assistance rules (including FAR provisions for BAAs and Department of Defense grants and agreements regulations). In practice, this means ONR is signaling ongoing interest in proposals across relevant technical areas, with topics and submission details governed by the full announcement posted on Grants.gov rather than by a separate, later Request for Proposals.
A key point is that ONR will not issue a formal RFP or mail paper copies of the announcement. Applicants are expected to rely on the electronic posting, and any required steps such as submitting white papers, following formatting rules, or aligning with specific ONR program areas are described in the full announcement. The listing also makes clear that ONR has broad discretion in what it chooses to support: it may select all, some, or none of the submissions, and it may fund all, some, or none of the proposals received. This kind of language is typical for BAAs and reflects that funding decisions depend on technical merit, relevance to Navy/Marine Corps needs, available budgets, and program priorities at the time of review.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The activity focus is science and technology and other research and development, and it is associated with CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the synopsis, which generally lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available to contribute. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a broad range of entity types, subject to any more specific eligibility conditions that may be stated inside the full announcement text.
The timeline in the synopsis shows it was posted on September 28, 2012, with a closing date of September 30, 2013, and an archive date of October 30, 2013. It also notes that white paper due dates (if required) are not necessarily the same as the overall closing date and that applicants should consult the BAA or its application instructions for those intermediate deadlines. This is important because many ONR BAAs use an initial white paper step to screen for relevance and potential before inviting full proposals.
Several administrative conditions are emphasized. ONR does not provide money to reimburse proposal development costs, so organizations must cover their own time and expenses for preparing and submitting white papers or full proposals. Materials submitted (technical proposals, cost proposals, and related content) will not be returned. At the same time, ONR states it treats proposals as sensitive competitive information and limits disclosure of proposal contents to evaluation purposes, which is meant to protect proprietary or competitively valuable concepts during the review process.
For access, applicants are directed to Grants.gov to locate the full announcement by using the "FULL ANNOUNCEMENT" link on the synopsis page. The synopsis also references an additional information link that points to ONR BAA resources more generally. If there are issues accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Ganesh Krish, Contract Specialist, at 703-696-1474, with the note indicating this is for Grants.gov access questions.
