CONCISE SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENT: Seeking innovative research to develop, test, evaluate, and integrate technologies to improve the joint targeting cycle: shorten the killchain, improve operational awareness, provide information and connectivity assurance during execution, and enable battle damage assessment. BAA ESTIMATED FUNDING: Total funding for this BAA is approximately $499M. Individual awards will not normally exceed thirty-six (36) months with dollar amounts normally ranging from $1M to $25M. There is also the potential to make awards up to $99.9M. ANTICIPATED INDIVIDUAL AWARDS: Multiple Awards are anticipated. However, the Air Force reserves the right to award zero, one, or more Procurement Contracts or Other Transactions (assistance instruments), for all, some, or none of the solicited effort based on the offeror's ability to perform desired work and funding fluctuations. There is no limit on the number of OTs that may be awarded to an individual offeror. TYPE OF INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY BE AWARDED: FAR based Procurement contracts, CFR based grants and cooperative agreements or other transactions (OT) under 10 USC 4021, 10 USC 4022 ( previously 10 USC 4002, 2371, 10 USC 4003, 2371b) depending upon the nature of the work proposed. 10 USC 4023 also allows for FAR based contracts, OTs for research, OTs for Prototype, and assistance instruments. 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.
