This document provides details on a federal contract opportunity through the FY 2019 Rapid Innovation Fund Broad Agency Announcement solicitation. The solicitation seeks mature prototypes for final development, testing, evaluation, and integration to meet critical national security needs. Technologies should address requirements through the DoD Rapid Innovation Fund, which facilitates rapid insertion of innovative technologies into military systems or programs. White papers are due for submission by January 14, 2019 for a two-phase selection process, with proposals by invitation only. Awards up to $3 million may be provided for projects with a two-year period of performance to further develop and integrate technologies. Preference is given to small businesses. However, the notice clarifies that funding is contingent upon the availability of FY2019 appropriations, as funds have not yet been allocated for this program at this time.
