Notice information

Read full notice text

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office (CWMD) is announcing to business and academia its intent to solicit Research and Development (R&D) proposals under this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). This BAA is contemplated in Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 6.102(d)(2) and 35.016. Responses from proposers will be requested in the form of white papers and/or proposals in response to the various Areas of Interest (AOI) under this BAA. From time to time, this BAA will be related to add specific AOIs and their respective Notice IDs on SAM.gov. Notice IDs for specific AOIs will be posted on SAM.gov and each AOI will outline scope, specific proposal instructions or evaluation criteria, and open/close dates. The over-arching strategy involves the use of this 5-year BAA to quickly and efficiently execute R&D to identify, explore, and demonstrate new technologies and capabilities that will help enable CWMD and stakeholders to prevent, protect against, respond to, and mitigate nuclear, chemical, radiological, and biological threats and incidents. This strategy will provide DHS an acquisition tool with the flexibility to solicit proposals and make awards to provide innovative solutions to countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), as ever-changing urgent operational issues and capability gaps are identified. This BAA will remain "open" for 5 years; however, white papers and proposals will only be solicited and accepted during the timeframes specified within the AOIs posted periodically throughout the life of this over-arching BAA. All prospective proposers can learn more about the available AOIs by reading the notice IDs to BAA No. 70RWMD24R00000003, which will detail all open AOIs. More detail on AOIs is provided in Section 8 of this BAA. All AOIs will be posted on SAM.gov. It is expected notice IDs for AOIs will be added regularly, modifications to existing AOI topics, changes in submission details, deadlines, etc. Therefore, proposers will be responsible for reviewing and ensuring submissions adhere to the AOI details.
