- Description
- The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is interested in receiving research and development proposals for the Director's Innovation Initiative (DII) Program focusing on the following areas: 1) Aperture Synthesis and 2) High Bandwidth Quantum-Secured Communications. This notice constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.102(d)(2) for US domestic private industry and educational institutions. This announcement declares the NRO's intent to competitively fund research and development for innovative technologies that meet the areas of interest set forth in the BAA. The BAA can be found on the NRO's Acquisition Resource Center (ARC) website located at https://acq.westfields.net on or around 24 March 2015. Offerors that do not already have an ARC account must register for one. This is a one-time registration. Instructions can be found at https://acq.westfields.net by selecting Help Resources. There is a User Guide and a video explaining how to register for an account. Once an Offeror has registered and has logged on, the Offeror should select Current Efforts from the menu ribbon on the top of the Home Page. The Current Efforts view displays a listing of all full and open competitive source selections. Under the Effort Name column, select DII Fundamental Research 2015. The DII Fundamental Research home page will then appear. It will be defaulted to the Announcement tab. For detailed BAA registration and submission instruction, select the Contractors Bidders Library (CBL) tab and find the file titled 'BAA Registration and Submission Instructions'. To register, select the BAA Submission tab and select the Register button. The detailed instructions in the CBL will guide Offerors through all the registration steps. Offerors must register using this tab to submit a proposal. Offerors must download from the website all applicable information necessary to submit a proposal. Offerors who have registered for previous DII solicitations must still register for this solicitation as previous registrations are no longer valid. No other requests for proposal, solicitation, or other announcement will be made. Proposals are sought from US domestic educational institutions, non-profit and not-for-profit organizations and private industry. Proposals may be considered from US based organizations and industry that are foreign owned or controlled as long as (1) access to proscribed information is not necessary to perform the resultant contract, and (2) foreign ownership or control does not present an unacceptable security threat. Awards shall take the form of contracts only. Before preparing a proposal, potential Offerors should read the information provided in the BAA for details regarding the areas of interest, proposal format, proposal submission, and proposal evaluation. It is expected that multiple awards will result from proposals received, at a maximum funding level of $450,000.00 with a three (3) year period of performance. Proposals will not be returned after evaluation. Except as otherwise stated herein, no additional written information is available regarding this announcement. Requests for the same will be disregarded. The Government reserves the right to select all, some, or none of the proposals received in response to the announcement. Jocelen Pearson, Contracting Support.
