About this file
This document is an amendment to the Acquisition Modernization Technology Research (AMTR) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicitation SP4701-23-B-0001 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The amendment makes various administrative changes, including:
- Re-opening the BAA and accepting white papers after the initial 180-day IDIQ proposal period
- Revising the white paper instructions and format
- Adding contractor eligibility requirements per FAR Part 9
- Incorporating intellectual property, data rights, and government furnished property clauses
- Specifying reporting and disposition requirements for government property
- Revising the proposal submission instructions to require email submission rather than through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) system
The AMTR BAA is seeking research and development proposals that support DLA's modernization of its acquisition and procurement processes. The primary focus is on solutions that align with DLA's strategic plan, particularly the "Modernized Acquisition and Supply Chain Management" line of effort. Successful proposals will identify problems and present achievable short-term projects with measurable results.
