About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is seeking innovative research proposals to create a capability to assess the maturity and operational applicability of Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) applications. The key requirements include workflow representation and application methodologies, a rigorous test case scenario, a "White Cell" capability to emulate real-world data sources and consumers, and a micro-service development and integration capability. Offerors should submit white papers by September 30, 2022, with suggested dates of September 19, 2019, March 31, 2020, and March 31, 2021 to align with projected fiscal year funding. Formal proposals will be accepted by invitation only. The total estimated funding for this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is approximately $24.9 million, with individual awards not normally exceeding 24 months or $1 million.
This BAA is open to all qualified sources, with no set-aside designation. The government has not identified any potential incumbents or current contractors. Awards may be in the form of procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions, depending on the nature of the proposed work. The goal is to develop tools and infrastructure to support the transition of MDC2 capabilities to future Air Force operations centers.

BAA ANNOUNCEMENT TYPE: Initial announcement
BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) TITLE: Multi-Domain Command & Control Execution Management & Workflows -- Flyleaf
BAA NUMBER: FA8750-19-S-7013
PART I - OVERVIEW INFORMATION
This announcement is for an Open, 2-Step BAA which is open and effective until 30 Sep 2022. Only white papers will be accepted as initial submissions; formal proposals will be accepted by invitation only. While white papers will be considered if received prior to 4 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 30 Sep 2022, the following submission dates are suggested to best align with projected funding:
FY20 by 19 Sep 2019
FY21 by 31 Mar 2020
FY22 by 31 Mar 2021
Offerors should monitor the Federal Business Opportunities website at http://www.fbo.gov in the event this announcement is amended.
The Flyleaf Program Team anticipates hosting an Industry Day to provide interested offerors an opportunity to learn more about Flyleaf and AFRL/RI's MDC2 activities. Details regarding time, place, and visitor access will be published in FedBizOps shortly following the announcement publication proper.
CONCISE SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENT: Seeking innovative research to create a capability within AFRL/RI to assess, in a Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) context, the maturity and operational applicability of various MDC2 applications - all with a mind toward their transition to the infrastructure and architecture of future Air Force operations centers, such as envisioned by the Air Force's ShadowOC concept. Workflow representation and application methodologies are needed for managing MDC2 workflows, including technologies and tools to model operations-floor actors, actions, and activities as a set of processes, to enable their tracking, monitoring, and execution management. A rigorous, well-defined and validated test case scenario that exercises all critical framework configurations - a "Golden Path" scenario - is needed to ensure quality, performance and safety of the developed software. An on-line or linked capability to emulate real-world data sources and consumers - a "White Cell" - is needed to ensure that applications, and operators using those applications in the course of knowledge elicitation and application assessment, have a real-world equivalent of expected data flows and executed actions to address deficiencies in data or data consumers. A micro-service development and integration capability is needed to rapidly implement missing or inadequate operations floor capabilities. Dynamic composition of the MDC2 workflows via aggregation of these micro-services is paramount. The workflow management infrastructure must facilitate instrumentation in support of machine-learning data collection and process assessment. The resulting data is critical to establishing the viability and usefulness of the assessed candidate technologies, and the applications embodying those technologies, in preparation for transition of those applications to future Air Force operations centers, and eventual inclusion within the operations floor enterprise. The projected rapid pace of applications development requires that applications developed through disparate and segregated sources be easily integrated into existing host infrastructures, and that existing workflows not be intrinsically impacted by that insertion.
BAA ESTIMATED FUNDING: Total funding for this BAA is approximately $24.9M. Individual awards will not normally exceed 24 months with dollar amounts normally ranging from $300,000 to $1,000,000. There is also the potential to make awards up to any dollar value as long as the value does not exceed the available BAA ceiling amount.
ANTICIPATED INDIVIDUAL AWARDS: Multiple Awards are anticipated.
TYPE OF INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY BE AWARDED: Procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements or other transactions (OT) depending upon the nature of the work proposed. In the event that an Other Transaction for Prototype agreement is awarded as a result of this competitive BAA, and the prototype project is successfully completed, there is the potential for a prototype project to transition to award of a follow-on production contract or transaction. The Other Transaction for Prototype agreement itself will also contain a similar notice of a potential follow-on production contract or agreement.
