The Department of State, Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance through the Key Verification Assets Fund or V Fund Program is interested in the full range and scope of possible proposals for retaining, researching, developing, or acquiring technologies or programs relating to the verification of arms control, nonproliferation and disarmament agreements or commitments.

This BAA is open to all interested and qualified sources, to include participation by and potentially with both "traditional and non-traditional" members (e.g. large businesses, small businesses, independent consultants, academic institutions, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, consortium participants, others) that may assist the Department of State in finding innovative technological approaches to current and future arms control, and nonproliferation policy implementation challenges through exchanges between the science and technology communities. The V Fund encourages teaming opportunities between qualified sources that can provide solutions to technical problems and inform policy decisions as prioritized in the Verification Technology Research and Development Needs Document.
