About this opportunity
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has published a Research and Development Innovations Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) that serves as a competitive solicitation for research and development proposals focused on countering and deterring weapons of mass destruction and emerging threats. This BAA operates under Federal Acquisition Regulation guidelines and does not issue formal Requests for Proposal, instead soliciting innovative technological solutions through multiple amendments and addenda. The announcement has undergone several revisions since its initial posting in February 2022, including Amendment 1 with updates based on DTRA's 2022 strategy, Amendment 2 for organizational updates, and various addenda focusing on specific research areas. The most recent additions include Addendum 2 covering monitoring and verification activities with a February 2025 deadline, and Addendum 3 addressing nuclear scintillation mitigation technologies for military satellite communications with a September 2025 deadline.
The BAA seeks technologies at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 1-7, with individual contract awards ranging from $500,000 to $5,000,000 over performance periods of 1-5 years. The solicitation follows a two-phase proposal process requiring initial quad charts and white papers, followed by full proposals upon invitation. Key eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship for all personnel, with certain positions requiring TS/SCI security clearances depending on the specific research area. The BAA covers five thrust areas including understanding WMD situations, enabling deterrence, developing offensive capabilities, protecting forces, and enabling cross-cutting capabilities. Proposals are evaluated based on scientific merit, relevance to DTRA objectives, offeror capabilities, and cost reasonableness, with the BAA remaining open through February 2027 for annual proposal releases.
