About this opportunity

This Broad Agency Announcement from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency seeks proposals for research and development projects addressing chemical and biological defense technologies at Technology Readiness Levels 3 through 6, with the goal of advancing solutions to TRLs 4 through 6. Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific and technical merit, capability to perform the work, and overall benefit to the government. The one-year open period accepts proposals on a continuous basis and will consider topics in areas such as detection, protection, medical countermeasures, and hazard mitigation to support the Chemical and Biological Defense Program mission.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. Research is sought under NAICS codes 541715 and PSC codes C199 and R425. Awards will take the form of contracts, other transaction agreements, or interagency agreements with values dependent on technical evaluations and available funding. Proposals must sufficiently detail work to be performed, costs, and management approach for either a one or two-year period of performance with work taking place within the United States.

UPDATED FEBRUARY 3, 2020: TOPIC RELEASE 1, PHASE 1 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE WAS REVISED FROM MARCH 4, 2020 TO MARCH 20, 2020

UPDATED FEBRUARY 3, 2020:  TOPIC RELEASE 1

The purpose of this BAA is to serve as a one-year (12-month) open continuous vehicle through which topics will be released as they become available during the BAA open period. This BAA will remain open for one year from the date of release.

The scope of this BAA is limited to projects that meet Technology Readiness Level (TRL) definitions in the TRL range of 3-6 (see ATTACHMENT 1 for TRL definitions). Upon completion of the proposed development efforts, solutions should strive to meet a TRL in the range of 4-6. Proposals that address technologies at TRL 4 or greater should also be aware of the Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) considerations.

The DTRA RD-CB mission was established by the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide state-of-the-art defense capabilities to allow military forces of the United States to operate and to successfully complete their missions in chemical and biological warfare environments. The scope of mission efforts and the priorities assigned to specific projects are influenced by changes in military and civilian Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD) science and technology, advanced developments, operational requirements, military threat assessments, and national defense strategies. To keep pace with defense capability requirements, the CBD Program (CBDP), as part of its mission, routinely promulgates chemical and biological research. The comprehensive research program encompasses both intramural and extramural sources, and the role of each is vital to the fulfillment of the CBDP objectives.

DTRA is seeking optimum approaches to meet technology objectives with a goal to identify and select science and technology projects that can be transitioned to joint acquisition programs.
