The purpose of this combined Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 35 and Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) under 2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 200.204 (henceforth referred to as "BAA") is to solicit research proposals for submission to the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) for funding consideration. Prior to this announcement, ARL announced two separate BAAs to support the mission: 1) W911NF-17-S-0002 titled "Army Research Laboratory Army Research Office Broad Agency Announcement for Fundamental Research"; and 2) W911NF-17-S-0003 titled "Army Research Laboratory Broad Agency Announcement for Basic and Applied Scientific Research". This announcement succeeds BAA W911NF-17-S-0002 and BAA W911NF-17-S-0003 combining the opportunities into a single announcement. ARL's mission as the Army's foundational research laboratory is to Operationalize Science to ensure overmatch in any future conflict. ARL's foundational research mission spans basic research (budget activity 6.1) and applied research (budget activity 6.2) as defined by 32 CFR 22.105 but may include advanced technology development (budget activity 6.3) and advanced component development and prototypes (budget activity 6.4) when opportunities arise to directly or indirectly help achieve ARL's mission. ARL partners across the national security enterprise to deliver fundamentally advantageous change that is rooted in the creation and exploitation of scientific knowledge. This publication constitutes a BAA for awards as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2) and 35.016 as well as a merit-based, competitive procedure in accordance with the Department of Defense Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARS) at 32 CFR 22.315(a) and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Other Transaction Guide version 2.0 dated July 2023.

TitleSources Sought for Supply Chain and Industrial AnalysisDEVCOM ARMY RESEARCH LABORATORY BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FOUNDATIONAL RESEARCHNotice typeSources SoughtSolicitationResponse deadline2023-03-15T19:00:00+00:002027-11-21T04:59:00+00:00Archive dateNot previously reported2027-12-05NAICS541690541715PSCR422AJ11DescriptionArmy Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground - Research Triangle Park Division (ACC- APG-RTP) is conducting market research to determine the extent of sources capable of performing as a prime contractor. The Government may use responses from this sources sought to make an acquisition decision about soliciting a requirement. The purpose of this sources sought notice is to determine industry interest, capability, and relevant experience of potential qualified businesses relative to a non-personal services requirement. The requirement is designed to identify a company that will conduct a search to find an individual qualified to support the U.S Army Futures Command (AFC) who is responsible for Army Modernization efforts. In today's environment, competition and connected economies present a challenge to fully understand a non-traditional contractor's strengths, weaknesses, dependencies, and partnerships that challenge the Army's ability to innovate and provide capability at speed. Acknowledging this risk to Army innovation, AFC - Acquisition and Systems (A&S) propose the command's Supply Chain and Industrial Risk analysis ability to catalogue non-traditional contractors and maintain situational awareness of overall risk to AFC. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the personnel search requirements. The contractor shall be accountable for the execution of each task and is solely responsible to the Government in accordance with (IAW) the terms and conditions of the contract. Specific objectives for this requirement may include: Catalogue all non-traditional contractors that are currently awarded a contract and/or intend to compete for AFC/Army SBIR and (STTR) contracts. A&S anticipates awarding roughly 50-70 contracts annually. Conduct analysis on companies or sectors of interest outside of SBIR/STTR companies as directed by A&S leadership. Conduct regular supply chain and industrial analysis that identifies contractors that possess risk. Identify contracting risk that will inform A&S leadership in making informed decisions regarding the SBIR program. Assess, analyze, and define metrics for measuring technical risk (including Financial, Legal and Regulatory, Foreign Influence, Reputational and Operational risk relating to supply chain) manufacturing, industry, material risk, and the workforce that will most impact AFC SBIR/STTR modernization efforts. Analyze domestic end products used in SBIR/STTR contracts, determine extent to which contractors buy supplies acquired for use in the United States. Develop analysis on the impacts of transport and how this impacts parts, backorders, mission impaired capabilities, and insights not currently realized based on the demand. Compare, contrast, and rank all supply indicators against each other and provide a risk analysis rating. Safeguard all classified and sensitive information as specified in security requirements section or contract terms. Build a risk-focused common operating picture (COP) that captures risk assessments for analyzed companies. Apply clearly defined metrics/findings to assist A&S leadership with final risk mitigation determination on the company seeking a SBIR/STTR award. This Sources Sought will be used to identify small business contractors who can provide services as specified above and determine their availability and adequacy. If your company is interested in this requirement, is a qualified small business for the NAICS code 541690, and understands risk analysis related to non-traditional contractor business elements or has performed similar projects, we request the information shown below. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not respond to this notice. As permitted by FAR Part 10, this is a market research tool being utilized for informational and planning purposes. Your responses will assist the government in developing a potential Request for Proposal (RFP), to be issued later, and determine whether any type of small business set-aside is possible for this procurement or whether the government should use full and open competitive procedures. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS ONLY. This Sources Sought is for government informational purposes only and shall not be considered as a request for proposals or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of contractor submission of responses to this RFI or the Government's use of such information. The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any contractor's input resulting from this RFI. No contract will be awarded from this announcement. Data submitted in response to this RFI will not be returned Submission Instructions This notice is strictly for market research, and the Government will not respond to any questions or inquiries on status of requirement.
