Transforming the Battlespace
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks executive summaries, proposal abstracts, and full proposals to enable disruptive capabilities across multiple domains including unmanned air systems, hypersonic vehicles, rapidly developed systems, novel propulsion, autonomous systems, expanded ground combat maneuverability, intelligent ground robots, dispersed maritime architectures, proliferated space assets, and countering threats in contested environments. Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific and technical merit, contribution to the agency's mission, cost realism, and offeror capabilities, with the deadline for submissions on June 11, 2021.
There is no set-aside designated for this opportunity. Research areas fall under NAICS codes 541712 and PSC codes R408. Multiple awards are anticipated with initial awards less than $1 million for up to 18 months, though follow-on options extending periods of performance are possible. A cost proposal spreadsheet template is provided to facilitate cost analysis and negotiation for research and technology development contracts supporting efforts to enable disruptive capabilities for future warfare.
