About this opportunity
The Department of Defense Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) is seeking research proposals focusing on Weapons Systems and Platforms technologies through a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). This competitive solicitation aims to fund innovative environmental research that enhances military readiness, improves installation resilience, and strengthens defense infrastructure. Proposals will be evaluated through a multi-stage review process, with criteria prioritized in descending order of importance: Technical Merit, Personnel, Cost, and Transition Plan. All interested parties, including small and large businesses, must submit proposals electronically through the SERDP website by July 10, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. No alternative submission methods will be accepted, and the government will not reimburse proposal preparation costs.
The BAA anticipates making multiple awards totaling approximately $10 million, contingent upon proposal quality and funding availability. The solicitation uses the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541715, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. For contract proposals exceeding $750,000 from large businesses or non-profits, a Small Business Subcontracting Plan is required. Contracts are expected to be executed in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2026, with awards anticipated in June 2026. Proposers should note that while multiple awards are possible, the government is not obligated to make any contract awards. Selected contractors will undergo a final review by the SERDP Scientific Advisory Board, which will include an oral presentation component to determine final funding recipients.
