Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Extramural Medical Research is a standing solicitation designed to bring in outside (extramural) research and development ideas that can help solve medical problems affecting U.S. military personnel. The central purpose is to generate practical medical solutions that matter to the American Warfighter, both in deployed settings and at home. The Army notes that its research priorities can shift over time based on changes in medical science and technology, evolving operational needs, threat assessments, and broader national defense strategy, so the BAA functions as a flexible mechanism to capture new concepts as they emerge.
This opportunity is issued as a Broad Agency Announcement under the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 and the Federal Acquisition Regulation provision that allows competitive selection based on scientific and technical merit rather than a tightly defined procurement specification. In other words, instead of asking applicants to bid on one narrowly described project, the BAA outlines the command’s research programs and areas of interest and invites investigators and organizations to propose ideas that align with those needs. The full announcement is meant to provide a general overview of USAMRMC research program areas, highlight specific topics of interest, and explain how proposals will be evaluated, selected, and prepared.
From an administrative standpoint, the listing identifies multiple possible award instruments, including cooperative agreements, grants, other transactions, and procurement contracts, reflecting that USAMRMC may choose the most appropriate mechanism depending on the nature of the work and the level of government involvement anticipated. The funding activity category is research and development (science and technology), and the CFDA number associated with the program is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The announcement sets an award ceiling of up to $5,000,000 per award, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0), and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Eligibility is broadly described as “unrestricted,†meaning the solicitation is open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full text. One explicit restriction is that Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) are not eligible for awards under this announcement, consistent with FAR 35.017. The administering agency is the Department of the Army, with the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) identified in the opportunity information.
Key dates in the posting indicate it was posted on October 1, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2011, and an archive date of October 30, 2011, meaning it was a time-bounded solicitation for that period even though BAAs can be structured to accept ideas over a longer window. For additional details or access issues related to the full announcement, the listing provides a point of contact at USAMRAA: Pamela Nevels, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 301-619-8802.
