About this opportunity
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency has issued a special notice placing the FY25-29 Strategic Trends Research Initiative Broad Agency Announcement (HDTRA-24-S-0003) on administrative pause effective September 4, 2025. This broad agency announcement falls under the research and development category for physical, engineering, and life sciences, specifically focusing on international affairs research and development services. The pause affects all new submissions to this multi-year strategic research initiative. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is responsible for managing this research program that appears to focus on strategic trends analysis and international affairs research. The notice serves as an official communication to current and potential contractors about the temporary suspension of normal BAA operations.
The administrative pause prevents the agency from accepting any new white paper or proposal submissions, though all submissions received before September 4, 2025 will continue to be processed according to the original BAA terms. The suspension results from two primary factors: a Department of Defense order to suspend certain research and think tank engagement operations pending further guidance, and a DoD-wide reorganization effort aimed at reducing manpower and increasing operational efficiencies. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is complying with both directives as part of this temporary halt. No specific timeline has been provided for when the pause will be lifted, with the agency stating it will remain in effect "until further notice." Contractors with questions or concerns about the administrative pause are directed to contact the Contracting Officer, Ms. Christina Clark, or their assigned program manager/contracting officer representative. The notice does not specify new eligibility criteria or requirements, as the focus is entirely on communicating the temporary suspension of normal BAA operations.
Notice text
Effective 4 September 2025, the FY25-29 Strategic Trends Research Initiative Broad Agency Announcement, HDTRA-24-S-0003, is being placed on an administrative pause. During this period, we are unable to accept any new white paper or proposal submissions. All submissions received prior to 4 September 2025 will be queued for processing in accordance with the BAA. This universal action is responsive to an order to suspend certain operations pending further guidance from the Department of Defense (DOD) on participation in research and think tank engagements. We are also impacted by a DoD reorganization order focused on reducing manpower and gaining efficiencies, which the Defense Threat Reduction Agency is complying with. This pause will remain in effect until further notice. Questions and/or concerns regarding this administrative pause can be submitted to our Contracting Officer, Ms. Christina Clark, or to the program manager/contracting officer representative assigned to your current contract.
