HR001117S0040-Amendment-01.pdf

The purpose of this Amendment 1 to HR001117S0040, DSO Office-wide BAA, is to make the following changes to Section IX, Appendix: Disruptioneering. Except as referenced herein, no other changes have been made to HR001117S0040 or its attachments.

1. In Section IX.B, Disruption Opportunities (DOs), the third sentence is hereby entirely replaced with the following sentence: DOs will describe rapid projects addressing two phases as described below.

2. In Section IX.C, DO Proposal and Award Information, the first paragraph is hereby entirely replaced with the following text: Proposals submitted in response to a Disruption Opportunity must be UNCLASSIFIED and must address two independent and sequential project phases (a Phase 1 Feasibility Study and a Phase 2 Proof of Concept). The periods of performance for these phases are specific to each DO (i.e., may vary slightly) but are anticipated to be approximately 3-6 months for Phase 1 and 12-15 months for Phase 2;

combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 efforts for any DO is not anticipated to exceed 18 months.

For any proposal selected for award, the Government reserves the right to award only Phase 1 or a combined Phase 1 and 2 effort. In cases where only a Phase 1 award is made at the outset, the Government may award a follow-on effort for Phase 2 depending on the outcome of the Phase 1 effort. Due to the potential for awarding follow-on Phase 2 efforts, DARPA is requesting a proposal validity period of 365 days.
