4. Research Opportunity Number –

11-032

5. Response Date –

White Papers Cutoff Date: 17 October 2011 Full Proposals: 30 Days after Invitation

6. Research Opportunity Description -

This BAA is primarily for the validation and transition through the Rapid Innovation Fund (RIF) of technologies developed by small businesses (less than 500 employees) including those developed under Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II awards and under DoD reimbursed Independent Research and Development (IR&D) that directly support Department of Navy (DoN) needs and programs.

RIF intends to fund projects that have already been through the early stages of R&D (primarily through SBIR or IR&D funding). The proposed RIF effort must advance the technology by validating and demonstrating the capability in a realistic environment (Technology Readiness levels 6 and 7, respectively). The R&D efforts to be funded under this BAA will consist of Advanced Component Development and Prototypes, and the funds available to support awards are Budget Activity 4.

“Independent Research and Development" is defined as R&D initiated and conducted by defense contractors independent of DoD control and without direct DoD funding. IR&D includes: (1) basic research, (2) applied research, (3) development, and (4) systems and other concept formulation studies. IR&D does not include R&D performed under grant or contract from the Government or third parties and does not include technical effort specifically to support bid or proposal activities. (IR&D is defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 31.205-18(a).)

Those selected for award may receive up to $3M in RIF funding; developmental efforts should be completed within 24 months, with fielding scheduled for not more than 36 months after contract award. Funds available for awards are $24 million, contingent upon acceptable proposals. The Government may provide additional funds, but there is no commitment by the Government that the total amount of awards will exceed $24 million.

The goals of the DoN Rapid Innovation Fund (RIF) are to enhance and accelerate delivery of military capability, reduce the cost of weapons systems either fielded or under development, or improve the quality of life for service personnel, by meeting urgent operational needs or other critical national security needs. Technologies of interest will be able to clearly identify and define how they satisfy a Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON), Navy Urgent Operational

Need (UON), Marine Corps Urgent Universal Need (UUN), critical National Security Need as cited in a Presidential Executive Order or equivalent document, and/or support rapid insertion into a Department of Navy (DoN) Program of Record (PoR) or other acquisition program. In order to be considered, technologies proposed must show a clear transition path into a DoN PoR or as a fielded DoN prototype system.

VII. OTHER INFORMATION

1. Government Property/Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and Facilities

Government research facilities and operational military units are available and should be considered as potential government-furnished equipment/facilities. These facilities and resources are of high value and some are in constant demand by multiple programs. It is unlikely that all facilities would be used for any one specific program. The use of these facilities and resources will be negotiated as the program unfolds. Offerors submitting proposals should indicate in the Technical and Cost Proposal, which of these facilities are critical for the project’s success.

2. Security Classification

In order to facilitate intra-program collaboration and technology transfer, the Government will attempt to enable technology developers to work at the unclassified level to the maximum extent possible. If access to classified material will be required at any point during performance, the Offeror must clearly identify such need.

3. Use of Animals and Human Subjects in Research

If animals are to be utilized in the research effort proposed, the Offeror must complete a DoD Animal Use Protocol with supporting documentation (copies of AAALAC accreditation and/or NIH assurance, IACUC approval, research literature database searches, and the two most recent USDA inspection reports) prior to award. For assistance with submission of animal research related documents, contact the ONR Animal Use Administrator at (703) 696-4046.

Similarly, for any proposal for research involving human subjects, the Offeror must submit or indicate an intention to submit prior to award: documentation of approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB); IRB-approved research protocol; IRB-approved informed consent form;

proof of completed human research training (e.g., training certificate or institutional verification of training); an application for a DoD-Navy Addendum to the Offeror’s DHHS-issued Federal wide Assurance (FWA) or the Offeror’s DoD-Navy Addendum. In the event that an exemption criterion under 32 CFR.219.101 (b) is claimed, provide documentation of the determination by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) Chair, IRB vice Chair, designated IRB administrator or official of the human research protection program including the category of exemption and short rationale statement. This documentation must be submitted to the ONR Human Research Protection Official (HRPO), by way of the ONR Program Officer. Information about assurance applications and forms can be obtained by contacting ONR_343_contact@navy.mil. If the research is determined by the IRB to be greater than minimal risk, the Offeror also must provide the name and contact information for the independent medical monitor. For assistance with submission of human subject research related documentation, contact the ONR Human Research Protection Official at (703) 696-4046.

For contracts and orders, the award and execution of the contract, order, or modification to an existing contract or order serves as notification from the Contracting Officer to the Contractor that the HRPO has approved the assurance as appropriate for the research under the Statement of Work and also that the HRPO has reviewed the protocol and accepted the IRB approval or exemption determination for compliance with the DoD Component policies. See, DFARS 252.235-7004.

4. Recombinant DNA

Proposals which call for experiments using recombinant DNA must include documentation of compliance with Department of Human and Health Services (DHHS) recombinant DNA regulations, approval of the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), and copies of the DHHS Approval of the IBC letter.

5. Department of Defense High Performance Computing Program

The DoD High Performance Computing Program (HPCMP) furnishes the DoD S & T and RDT & E communities with use-access to very powerful high performance computing systems.

Awardees may be eligible to use HPCMP assets in support of their funded activities if Program Office approval is obtained and if security/screening requirements are favorably completed.

Additional information and an application may be found at http://www.hpcmo.hpc.mil/.

http://www.hpcmo.hpc.mil/�

6. Organizational Conflicts of Interest

All Offerors and proposed subcontractors must affirm whether they are providing scientific, engineering, and technical assistance (SETA) or similar support to any DoN technical office(s) through an active contract or subcontract. All affirmations must state which office(s) the offeror supports and identify the prime contract numbers. Affirmations shall be furnished at the time of proposal submission. All facts relevant to the existence or potential existence of organizational conflicts of interest (FAR 9.5) must be disclosed. The disclosure shall include a description of the action the offeror has taken or proposes to take to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate such conflict.

In accordance with FAR 9.503 and without prior approval, a contractor cannot simultaneously be a SETA and a research and development performer. Proposals that fail to fully disclose potential conflicts of interests or do not have acceptable plans to mitigate identified conflicts will be rejected without technical evaluation and withdrawn from further consideration for award. If a prospective offeror believes that any conflict of interest exists or may exist (whether organizational or otherwise), the offeror should promptly raise the issue by sending his/her contact information and a summary of the potential conflict by e-mail to the Business Point of Contact identified in the proposal invitation letter, before time and effort are expended in preparing a proposal and mitigation plan. If, in the sole opinion of the Contracting Officer after full consideration of the circumstances, any conflict situation cannot be effectively avoided or mitigated, the proposal may be rejected without technical evaluation and withdrawn from further consideration for award under this BAA.
