Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Science and Technology For Warfighter Training and Aiding" (Funding Opportunity Number BAA 09 05 RH) is a Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory under the 711th Human Performance Wing, Human Effectiveness Directorate at the Wright Research Site. It is focused on science and technology research and development efforts that support warfighter training and aiding, with offerors asked to submit white papers describing relevant research ideas aligned to the effort outlined in the full announcement. Rather than a traditional single, narrowly defined procurement, this type of announcement is meant to attract a range of innovative R&D concepts that could contribute to Air Force human performance and human effectiveness priorities, especially as they relate to training, assisting, or improving outcomes for operators and trainees.
Applicants are instructed to submit white papers directly to the contracting point of contact identified in Section VII of the full text announcement, and submissions must follow the procedures and formatting rules laid out in that announcement. A key point is that this is an unrestricted solicitation, meaning it is open to any type of eligible entity (subject to any eligibility details that may appear in the full text). While unrestricted, the announcement specifically encourages small businesses to participate and to propose on all or any portion of the solicitation. The NAICS code listed is 541712, covering Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology). For small business considerations, the size standard identified is 500 employees, which helps organizations determine whether they qualify as small under this opportunity.
The announcement indicates that awards could be made through multiple funding instrument types, including cooperative agreements, grants, procurement contracts, or other mechanisms depending on the nature of the work and the government involvement anticipated. The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA number 12.800, the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so proposers generally should not assume they must contribute matching funds unless the full text announcement specifies otherwise for certain efforts.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on October 1, 2009, with an original closing date of September 30, 2014, and a current closing date also shown as September 30, 2014. The archive date is October 15, 2014, indicating the opportunity is historical and was open during that period. The notice also emphasizes that there will be no other solicitation issued for this requirement, so the white paper/proposal process described in the announcement is the primary path for consideration. At the same time, offerors are cautioned to watch for BAA amendments, since amendments could adjust requirements or extend the white paper submission deadline.
For practical access and support, the listed contact for assistance is Helen Williams, Contracts Negotiator, reachable by phone at 937-656-9833, specifically for situations where an organization has difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
