About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) W9113M-24-R-BAA1 from the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) Space and Missile Defense Technical Center (SMDTC), dated November 26, 2024.
The document contains two questions from CAHABA Federal Solutions regarding BAA topics. The first question confirms that multiple white papers can be submitted to a specific topic. The second question addresses submitting unsolicited topics, with the government response clarifying that white papers on topics outside the stated BAA topics are acceptable if they align with SMDTC's mission. The response emphasizes that the BAA topics are suggestive rather than limiting, and explains that submissions should focus on advancing state-of-the-art research rather than specific system development or hardware procurement.

2 CAHABA Federal Solutions
BAA Topics Pages 3 and 7 In the absence of topics related to work we are performing or would like to perform, can we submit white papers to unsolicited topics?
Yes. But only if the white papers relate to the SMDTC’s mission. As stated in the BAA (page 3), interested parties are encouraged to continually browse the SMDTC BAA topics for white paper and proposal topics that SMDTC desires to explore. These specific topics should be viewed as suggestive, rather than limiting.
SMDTC is always interested in considering other innovative research concepts of relevance to the Army if those concepts align with SMDTC's mission. Recommed to read, page 7, paragraph "A.
BAA, Reseach Topics of Interest". This BAA seeks white papers and/or proposals for scientific study and experimentation directed toward advancing the state-of-the-art or increasing knowledge or understanding for basic and applied research and that part of development not related to the maturation of a specific system or hardware procurement. White papers and/or proposals related to the development of a specific system or to satisfy specific hardware/software requirements are also not appropriate. A determination of appropriateness will be made as part of the BAA submission screening process.
