BOTH SMALL BUSINESS AND LARGE BUSINESS ARE ENCOURAGED TO RESPOND. The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is the Department of War's (DoW) demonstration and validation program for environmental and installation energy technologies. The ESTCP Office is interested in receiving white papers for innovative technology demonstrations that address DoW installation requirements as candidates for funding. This notice constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul (RFO) Subpart 6.101(b)(3). Readers should note that this is an announcement to declare ESTCP's intent to competitively fund demonstration projects as described in the Program Announcement on the ESTCP website. The Program Announcement and complete submittal instructions are found at https://serdp-estcp.mil/workwithus. To be eligible for consideration, parties wishing to respond to this announcement must submit a white paper in accordance with the instructions on the website. This solicitation will remain open for approximately one (1) year from the date of publication, or until replaced by a successor BAA. No faxed or hard copy submissions will be accepted. No request for proposals (RFP), solicitation, or other announcement of this opportunity will be made. It is the sole responsibility of the offerors to make certain the white paper is properly received by ESTCP. Awards will take the form of contracts. Submission of white papers is not restricted in any way to any particular entity. The Government will not pay for any costs associated with the preparation of white papers or travel to present oral presentations in support of full proposals. There is no commitment by ESTCP to make any contract awards, nor to be responsible for any cost incurred by the offeror before contract award is made. It is expected that multiple awards will result, depending on the quality of white papers received and availability of funds. Awardees under this BAA will be selected through a multi-stage review process. The white paper review step allows interested organizations to submit technology demonstrations for Government consideration without incurring the expense of a full proposal. Based upon the white paper evaluation by ESTCP, each of the white paper submitters will be notified as to whether ESTCP requests or does not request the submission of a full proposal. As noted in the instructions located on the ESTCP website, evaluation criteria for white papers are Technical Merit and ESTCP Relevance. Each criterion is weighted equally. Due to the anticipated volume of white papers that will be received, the Government will not provide debriefs to those that are not requested to submit a full proposal. Instructions for preparing a full proposal will be provided at the time of notification. A request for submission of a full proposal does not indicate a decision has been made to make an award. Evaluation criteria for full proposals will include Cost/Benefit of Technology, Transition Potential, and Cost of Proposal in addition to the criteria above. ESTCP may make multiple awards up to a collectively shared maximum value of the $10,000,000.00 under this BAA. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes are 541715 and 541330 with the small business size standard of 1000 employees and $25.5M respectively. Prior to award, selected contract proposals that exceed $900,000 submitted by all Other than Small (large or non-profits, including universities) Business concerns must be accompanied by a Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9 and elements as described in the checklist in DFARS PGI 219.206-3 at http://business.defense.gov/Acquisition/Subcontracting/.
