A classified addendum describes Combined Arms focused capability increments that support Fighting the Naval Force Forward and the associated emerging warfighting concepts. Proposers may respond to one or more of the capability increments. The Fight Forward Experimentation Campaign is divided into two Phases: • Phase 1 - multi-month exploration phase that concludes with an Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX) • Phase 2 - Execution of bailment agreements, CRADA's, contracts/OTA- Prototypes in support of multiple technologies selected as 12- to 18-month prototyping and experimentation projects that culminate with Fleet/Force experiments and/or Rapid Fieldings Participation in Phase 1 is required to be considered for award in Phase 2 of the Fight Forward Experimentation Campaign. Proposers will be invited to participate in Phase 1 based on evaluation criteria described in Section 9; Evaluation and Selection Information. Phase 1 culminates with an Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX). The government is not responsible for any costs incurred by Phase 1 participants, to include white paper/proposal submission costs, travel costs, technology demonstrations, and all associated costs. All costs incurred throughout Phase 1 are the responsibility of the participating organization. Throughout Phase 1 and during the ANTX events, the government will provide technical and operational assessment personnel (Government only), basic access to approved ranges to conduct the exercise, basic venue infrastructure including shore power, overall exercise planning, and coordination of frequency allocation services. Contractors supporting DoD functions may be utilized to facilitate the ANTX event but will not participate in technical or operational assessments. The Department of the Navy anticipates utilizing CRADA's, bailment agreements or awarding more than one FP or FPI contract/OTA- Prototype for Phase 2 of the Fight Forward Experimentation Campaign. Proposers will be invited to participate in Phase 2 based on evaluation criteria described in Section 9; Evaluation and Selection Information. Navy and USMC Contracting Officers and Agreement Officers may award contracts/OTAs within their warrant authority as a result of this CSO.
