Only white papers will be accepted as initial submissions; formal proposals will be accepted by invitation only. While white papers will be considered if received prior to 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 30 Sep 2021, the following submission dates are suggested to best align with projected funding: FY19 by 15 MAY 2019 FY20 by 30 SEP 2019 FY21 by 30 SEP 2020 Offerors should monitor the Federal Business Opportunities website at Http://www.fbo.gov in the event this announcement is amended. CONCISE SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENT: The Information Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Rome Research Site, is seeking innovative research proposals to design and prototype a resilient and secure Information Provisioning Layer (IPL) to enable the Combat Cloud in disconnected, intermittent, low-bandwidth (DIL) tactical airborne environments. The IPL shall achieve this resilience by providing mission and network-aware disruption tolerant information flows and distributed data stores, as well as increased information interoperability and information accountability and trust. The end goal is to provide secure and resilient information exchange to maximize survivability of services and apps in the Combat Cloud. The DISTRICT program is divided into four technical areas (TAs). Offerors may bid on any technical area individually or any combination of technical areas thereof. Offerors who include multiple technical areas in their proposal should describe the work for each technical area separately and clearly identify the applicable TAs. Proposers should indicate their integration strategy for integration of components developed in other TAs when applicable. The four technical areas are as follows: ������� TA1: Information Dissemination ������� TA2: Information Interoperability ������� TA3: Information Accountability and Trust ������� TA4: Integration and Demonstration BAA ESTIMATED FUNDING: Total funding for this BAA is approximately $20M. Individual awards will not normally exceed 18 months with dollar amounts normally ranging from $1M to $1.8M. There is also the potential to make awards up to any dollar value as long as the value does not exceed the available BAA ceiling amount. ANTICIPATED INDIVIDUAL AWARDS: Multiple Awards are anticipated. TYPE OF INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY BE AWARDED: Procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements or other transactions (OT) depending upon the nature of the work proposed. In the event that an Other Transaction for Prototype agreement is awarded as a result of this competitive BAA, and the prototype project is successfully completed, there is the potential for a prototype project to transition to award of a follow-on production contract or transaction. The Other Transaction for Prototype agreement itself will also contain a similar notice of a potential follow-on production contract or agreement. AGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION: All white paper submissions and any questions of a technical nature shall be directed to the cognizant Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) as specified below (unless otherwise specified in the technical area): BAA MANAGER: Brian Holmes AFRL/RISA 525 Brooks Rd Rome, NY 13441-4505 Telephone: (315)330-4691 Email: Brian.holmes.7@us.af.mil Questions of a contractual/business nature shall be directed to the cognizant contracting officer, as specified below (email requests are preferred): Amber Buckley Telephone (315) 330-3605 Email: amber.buckley@us.af.mil Emails must reference the solicitation (BAA) number and title of the acquisition. Pre-Proposal Communication between Prospective Offerors and Government Representatives: Dialogue between prospective offerors and Government representatives is encouraged. Technical and contracting questions can be resolved in writing or through open discussions. Discussions with any of the points of contact shall not constitute a commitment by the Government to subsequently fund or award any proposed effort. Only Contracting Officers are legally authorized to commit the Government. Offerors are cautioned that evaluation ratings may be lowered and/or proposal rejected if proposal preparation (Proposal format, content, etc.) and/or submittal instructions are not followed.
