The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) accepts submissions from all for-profit, non-profit, and public entities for research and development projects across a spectrum of science and engineering disciplines. Currently, these submissions are being received through the Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) 10-01. The Long Range BAA is conducted as contemplated in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.102(d)(2) and 35.016. Long Range BAA 10-01 can be accessed on the Federal Business Opportunities website at: https://www.fbo.gov/spg/DHS/OCPO/DHS-OCPO/DHSS-TLRBAA10-01/listing.html.
