Award of a research and development contract for energy storage technology. No subcontracting opportunities.

Award of a research and development contract for wave energy technology. No subcontracting opportunities.

This solicitation is re-opened, due to ambiguous proposal receipt instructions. There are no other changes.



1. Proposals previously submitted via USPS/FEDEX/UPS on or before 15 JUL 2013, and having this postmark, need NOT be resubmitted.



2. Offerors may resubmit a revised proposal if they so desire. All copies must be clearly marked as a replacement proposal, to avoid version control confusion during evaluation.



3. To ensure all offerors have a fair and consistent opportunity to respond, the solicitation is reopened. Proposals must be received at the Government Point of Entry on or before 4pm PST, 25 JUL 2013. Mail Room hours are 7:30-4pm, PST. Proposals are only accepted through the mail room.

All received proposals shall be date/time stamped by the Government.



4. No hand-carried or emailed offers will be accepted. The solicitation requirements to provide 3 hard copies and 1 CD copy, containing PDF/Word formatted documents, remain as originally stated.



5. The shipping address has not changed. Packages shall be mailed via USPS, UPS, or Federal Express, to: NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING AND EXPEDITIONARY WARFARE CENTER, CODE Business Office BD6, ATTN: N. J. Olah, BAA ENERGY INITIATIVES PROGRAM AREA, 1100 23RD AVENUE, PORT HUENEME, CA 93043

This announcement constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NEXWC) under FAR 6.102(d)(2) and 35.106. A formal Request for Proposals (RFP), other solicitation, or additional information regarding this announcement will not be issued.



This announcement is for abstracts only, of approximately five (5) pages or fewer of technical material. Abstracts shall identify the specific topic area that the submission addresses. Each abstract must be specific to one of the topic areas.



All technology demonstrations or prototype field tests must be performed in Hawaii, Guam, or Washington State. However, design, laboratory, and administrative work may be done outside of these locations.

The proposed technology shall address one of the following two technology areas.



TOPIC 1: Alternative Energy Technology. Innovative alternative and renewable energy technologies are sought that can provide on-site energy generating capabilities to Navy facilities at or below the cost of conventional power.



A technology may be considered innovative if it:



1) significantly reduces the unit cost of energy acquisition, or

2) significantly increases the annual energy production per unit of area used, or

3) provides energy availability at times when other renewable energy sources would not normally be available.



Renewable energy includes, but is not limited to, marine and hydrokinetic renewable energy (such as energy from waves, tides and currents in oceans, estuaries, and tidal areas), offshore wind energy, waste-to-energy, and hybrid technologies.







TOPIC 2: Energy Storage. Innovative energy storage technologies are sought to integrate renewable sources at Naval facilities. Energy storage will be evaluated in the context of an enabling technology that supports renewable energy systems or microgrid management systems. A technology may be considered innovative if it significantly reduces capital investment, reduces weight, increases total storage capacity (kWh), or increases maximum energy discharge rate beyond what is commercially available.
