Added: Dec 31, 2009 3:46 pm This is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.102(d)(2) and 35.016. A formal Request for Proposal (RFP) will not be issued.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science & Technology (S&T) Directorate will not issue paper copies of this Announcement. The DHS S&T reserves the right to select for award and fund all, some, or none of the Full Proposals received in response to this Announcement. No funding for direct reimbursement of proposal development costs will be allowed. Technical and cost proposals (or any other material) submitted in response to this BAA will not be returned. However, depending on the markings on the proposal, DHS S&T will adhere to FAR policy on handling source selection information and proprietary proposals. It is the policy of DHS S&T to treat all proposals as sensitive competitive information and to disclose their contents only for the purposes of evaluation.

Multiple awards are anticipated to be issued through this LRBAA and will be based on an assessment of the overall best value to the government. Awards will be made based upon the proposal evaluation, funds availability, and other programmatic considerations. Awards may take the form of contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transaction (OTAs) agreements. Therefore, the applicable laws and regulations governing the legal vehicle used for award will depend on the legal vehicle chosen by DHS S&T. In the event an Offeror or subcontractor is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratory, or other Federally funded entity, DHS S&T will work with the appropriate sponsoring agency to issue an interagency agreement pursuant to the Economy Act (31 U.S.C. 1531) or other appropriate authority.
