About this file
This document provides a question and answer matrix for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency Joint IED Defeat Organization Broad Agency Announcement HDTRA3-19-S-0001. The BAA solicits white papers for innovative research and development efforts to advance countering of improvised threats through analytic investigations, capability development, and experimentation at Technology Readiness Levels 2 through 6. White papers are due by February 12, 2019 and should address detection and defeat of improvised threats through approaches such as detection systems, interdiction capabilities, and defeat mechanisms. Evaluation criteria include technical merit and feasibility as well as relevance to the agency's goals. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency Joint IED Defeat Organization will evaluate submissions to fund projects advancing capabilities to counter improvised explosive devices and related threats.
Responses to submitted questions on BAA.

• On page 7: "Periods of performance for each award may be up to five (5) years."
2.3 Page 5 statement of 18 months is correct.
Page 8 will be amended to reflect correct period of performance as stated on Page 5
2 Does the Government have a preferred mode (active vs passive) and preferred wavelength (radar vs MM wave vs Terahertz vs Infrared) for the detection system?
2.1.3 DTRA has no technology preferences and
will evaluate all submissions on merits.
3 Can the Government specify a minimum standoff distance for detection that will allow the soldiers sufficient time and opportunity to interdict the
2.1.3 DTRA is not providing minimums or
maximums. Contractors submission will be evaluated on its merit.
4 What is the budget for the BAA? N/A No budget information is provided in the addendum because the budget is dependent on the proposed solution.
5 What are the Technology Readiness Levels required for the
BAA?

See section 2.3 and Attachement 3 for further details.
6 What is the timeline for demonstration of technology?
2.3 See section 2.3 for further details.
7 Relative to performance, how important to JIDO is a low-price solution?
2.3, Attachment 8
See section 2.3 and Attachment 8 for further details on the relevance of evaluation factors.
8 Is geo-positioning (via GPS, etc.)
expected?
N/A DTRA has no technology preference (i.e.
vendor decides if the specific technology adds to the proposed capability.
9 What is the P-IED CONOPS? Attachment 1 CONOPS information is provided in Attachment 1
10 Do you see trace detection (laser) as part of the BAA?
N/A DTRA has no technology preference (i.e.
vendor decides if the specific technology adds to the proposed capability.

IMPROVISED THREATS- DETECT AND DEFEAT BAA
January 2019 Administrative Questions and Answers
11 Would the government please permit font sizes of smaller than 12 point in tables and graphics?
3.5.3.4/6.4.1 In accordance with the BAA, font must not be smaller than Times New Roman, 12 point.
12 Is DTRA interested in evaluating innovative proposals that are detecting and defeating improvised threats outside what’s described in Section 2.1 of the solicitation? For example, is DTRA looking at Sniper Fire Casualty Prevention Technologies that can save lives of a snipper’s target even after the shot is fired?
N/A DTRA is interested in White Papers that are responsive to the requirements stated in the BAA. DTRA posts all requirements and/or BAAs via FBO.gov. Contractors are encouraged to visit the site for updates and/or new postings.
13 Will you please clarify the due date for white papers? • Page 6 of the BAA states, “This BAA is in effect from January 9, 2019 through February 8, 2019.” • Page 10 of the BAA states, “This BAA is open for submission of white papers relevant to the subject technology areas from 11 January 2019 to 12 February 2019.”
3.1/5 12 February 2019 is the correct due date.
Amendment was updated to FBO.Gov named correction 1 to clarify.
