Amendment 0002

Amendment 0002 Solicitation Number ONR BAA Announcement N00014-16-R-BA02

Advanced Topcoat Systems (ATS) for Air and Ground Vehicles

Date: 11 January 2016

The purpose of Amendment 0002 is to respond to questions submitted prior to 11 January 2016.

Questions received after the release of Amendment 0002 and before the deadline for submissions of questions may be addressed in a subsequent amendment.

Question 1: Is it acceptable to partner with government labs on this proposal?

Answer 1: Yes, partnerships with Government labs are acceptable. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) seeks technologies that are capable of meeting the technical requirements stated. As a part of that response, any prior technology developments that involved Government facilities and/or Naval Laboratories or proposed efforts that would be part of the plan to this BAA response that involve partnering with Naval Laboratories would be encouraged. The provision from page 16 "Navy laboratories are not able to receive awards..." is not directed at discouraging partnership with these entities but rather to indicate that Naval Laboratories cannot be a sole performing respondent to the development of technologies sought under this BAA. However, the funding for the Government laboratory would be sent directly to the laboratory and not funded under the resultant contract.

Except as modified herein, all other information stated under BAA N00014-16-R-BA02 remain unchanged.
