The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is the Department of Defense (DoD) demonstration and validation program for environmental and energy technologies. The ESTCP Office is interested in receiving pre-proposals for innovative energy technology demonstrations that address DoD requirements as candidates for funding. This notice constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2). Readers should note that this is an announcement to declare ESTCP's intent to competitively fund demonstration projects as described in the Program Announcement on the ESTCP web site.

The Program Announcement which includes specific topics and complete submittal instructions is found at;

www.serdp-estcp.org/Funding-Opportunities/ESTCP-Solicitations/Energy-Solicitation

No request for proposals (RFP), solicitation, or other announcement of this opportunity will be made. Awards will take the form of contracts. Submission of proposals is not restricted in any way to any particular entity. The government will not pay for any costs associated with the preparation of proposals, travel to present oral presentations in support of the proposals, nor initial preparation and submission of a project plan.

To be eligible for consideration, readers wishing to respond to this announcement must submit a pre-proposal in accordance with the instructions on the web site, no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, March 29, 2012. No electronic mail or faxed proposals will be accepted.

Awardees under this BAA will be selected through a multi-stage review process. The pre-proposal review step allows interested organizations to submit technology demonstrations for Government consideration without incurring the expense of a full proposal. Based upon the pre-proposal evaluation by ESTCP, each of the pre-proposal submitters will be notified as to whether ESTCP requests or does not request the submission of a full proposal. Due to the anticipated volume of pre-proposals, ESTCP will not provide debriefs on those that are not requested to submit a full proposal.

Instructions for preparing a full proposal will be provided at the time of notification. A request for submission of a full proposal does not indicate a decision has been made to make an award. There is no commitment by ESTCP to make any contract awards, nor to be responsible for any money expended by the offeror before contract award is made. It is expected that multiple awards will be made to address a particular topic area. It is expected that awards totaling approximately $20.0 million will result, depending on availability of funds.

Small business participation is strongly encouraged as the government goal is that small business, historically black colleges, universities and minority institutions participation represent 5 percent of the total contract award value. If a full proposal is requested and the proposed budget is $650,000 or more, a Small Business Participation Plan (SBPP) must accompany the full proposal, whether it is submitted by a large or small business vendor. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes are 541712 and 541330 with the small business size standard of 500 employees and $4.5M respectively. Prior to award, selected contract proposals that exceed $650,000 submitted by all but small business concerns must be accompanied by a Small, Small Disadvantaged and Woman-Owned, Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity (HECSA) Small Business Office web site at www.hecsa.usace.army.mil/hxsb provides information on how to prepare a subcontracting plan, along with links to find small businesses to participate.

The point of contact for procedural questions in the ESTCP Office is Ms. Jina Banks-Saunders, 703-696-2127. The HECSA point of contact for non-technical contracting issues is Ms. Susan Hill, Susan.M.Hill@usace.army.mil or telephone at 703-428-6420 and for the small business participation plan or subcontracting plan is Jackie Robinson-Burnette, Jackie.L.Robinson-Burnette@usace.army.mil or telephone at 202-761-8789.
