AFRL/RXC Structural Materials Open BAA

This Special Notice announces Amendment 4 to a Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Department of the Air Force for structural materials research opportunities through the Air Force Research Laboratory. The original BAA sought white papers and proposals for innovative research projects involving the development of structural materials critical to the Air Force mission.

The amendment revises the submission instructions and contracting points of contact detailed in the BAA. It requires electronic submission of white papers and proposals via email by September 2023, and changes the registration requirements to the System for Award Management and Grants.gov to align with current procedures. U.S. companies and institutions remain eligible to directly participate in the research opportunities focused on developing structural materials described in the BAA. The amendment aims to streamline the solicitation process by updating the submission instructions and contact information to standard electronic submission formats.
