REQUEST FOR WHITE PAPERS: BAA TOPIC II A.2.a.ii: HOLISTIC PERSONNEL ASSESSMENT “Refinement of the Common Cyber Capabilities Assessment” **White Papers due NLT 15 June 2023, 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), which sets forth research areas of interest to the United States Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI), is issued under the provisions of paragraph 6.102(d)(2) and 35.016 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which provides for the acquisition of basic and applied research and that part of development not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement through the competitive selection of proposals, and 10 U.S.C. 4001, 10 U.S.C. 4021, and 10 U.S.C. 4022, which provide the authorities for issuing awards under this announcement for basic and applied research. Proposals submitted in response to this BAA and selected for award are considered to be the result of full and open competition and in full compliance with the provisions of Public Law 98-369, "The Competition in Contracting Act of 1984" and subsequent amendments. ARI is the Army’s lead agency for the conduct of research, development, and analyses for Army readiness and performance via research advances and applications of the behavioral and social sciences that address personnel, organization, and Soldier and leader development issues. Programs funded under this BAA include basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development that can improve human performance and Army readiness. Funding of research and development (R&D) within ARI areas of interest will be determined by funding constraints and priorities set during each budget cycle. Those contemplating submission of a proposal are encouraged to contact the ARI Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) identified in Section G of this BAA or the responsible ARI Manager noted at the end of the technical area entry (Part II Section A of this BAA) to determine whether the proposed R&D warrants further inquiry. If the proposed R&D warrants further inquiry and funding is available, submission of a white paper or proposal will be entertained. The recommended three-step sequence is (1) initial contact with the ARI TPOC or responsible ARI Manager, (2) white paper submission, (3) proposal submission. This sequence allows earliest determination of the potential for funding and minimizes the labor and cost associated with submission of proposals that have minimal probability of being selected for funding. Costs associated with white paper or proposal submissions in response to this BAA are not considered allowable direct charges to any resulting award. These costs may be allowable expenses to normal bid and proposal indirect costs specified in FAR 31.205-18. Applicants submitting proposals are cautioned that only a Government Contracting or Grants Officer may obligate the Government to any agreement involving expenditure of Government funds. To be eligible for an award under this announcement, a prospective awardee must meet certain minimum standards pertaining to financial resources and responsibility, ability to comply with the performance schedule, past performance, integrity, experience, technical capabilities, operational controls, and facilities. In accordance with Federal statutes, regulations, and Department of Defense (DoD) and Army policies, no person on grounds of race, color, age, sex, national origin, or disability shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving financial assistance from the Army.

DLA Research and Development; Acquisition Modernization Technology Research (AMTR) SP4701-23-B-0001
Amendment 1 Re-opens the AMTR BAA SP4701-23-B-0001 and addresses various administrative changes This notice constitutes a combined synopsis and Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the acquisition of research and development (R&D) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 35.016, “Broad agency announcement,” as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. No other solicitation will be issued. Only the information provided in this notice is available. Requests for other forms of solicitation shall be disregarded. Rapidly changing improvements in technology and increasing operational requirements have made defense acquisition more data driven and increasingly complex. To keep up with DLA’s customers demanding needs requires DLA to modernize its acquisition processes. The Acquisition Modernization Technology Research (AMTR) Program, established at the beginning of FY22, assesses acquisition and procurement processes, identifies and prioritizes areas that would benefit from IT modernization or advanced technologies, evaluates technical requirements, and pursues future research efforts for DLA. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Plan (https://www.dla.mil/Info/Strategic-Plan/) supports these DoD policies through five lines of effort (LOEs). The Acquisition Modernization Technology Research solutions should focus on all LOEs; however, there is a primary focus on LOE 4: Modernized Acquisition and Supply Chain Management, defined as “leading in logistics to deliver best value and manage risk.” The DLA Research and Development (R&D) Program Office is seeking IT modernization efforts that support any of the AMTR strategic focus areas outlined in the scope of this BAA (see Section 3: Scope). This BAA will remain open for five (5) years and will have a one-time initial closing date for receipt of cost & technical proposals for IDIQ consideration under Short Term Projects (180 days after initial posting). After the initial 180-day period the BAA will temporarily close and evaluation of cost & technical proposals will take place. During the initial BAA response period (180 day window), vendors must submit full cost & technical proposals (omitting the White Paper submission) in order to be considered for an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract (see Section 6: Proposal Instructions). Cost and technical proposals submitted under this BAA for IDIQ consideration shall describe a potential Short Term Project (STP) that aligns with one of the AMTR strategic focus areas outlined in Section 3: Scope, to be used by the Government for evaluation purposes. Initial offerors are encouraged to propose innovative solutions, highlighting any relevant DLA/DoD acquisition experience. Consideration will be given to all approaches that enable improved processes aligning with both DoD and DLA Strategic Initiatives. Only select Offerors will be awarded an IDIQ contract under the initial BAA. Although initial projects proposed in response to this BAA may result in the award of an IDIQ, a task order to execute the initial STP may or may not be issued. Each vendor who receives an IDIQ contract may be part of a working group whose purpose is to collaborate with the AMTR Program Manager, relevant DLA stakeholders and/or other vendors to identify problems and achieve improvements with measurable results in the business processes that support the AMTR program. An optional CLIN may be included in resulting task orders or contract awards for working group activities, including travel. After evaluation of initial proposals, the BAA window will re-open. At that time, the government intends to accept White Papers from potential vendors who did not receive an IDIQ contract in the initial round. Vendors may suggest ideas for projects by submitting a White Paper, an abbreviated document (limited to 6 pages) in which a submitter shall describe a technical R&D concept (see Section 5: White Paper Instructions and Format). Successful White Papers will identify problems and present achievable Short Term Proposals with measurable results in support of the AMTR program. White Papers will only be accepted after the BAA is reopened. Offerors should check the SAM.gov website for the current status of the BAA. If such a technical concept is deemed by the Government to be of interest, the Government may request a full cost and technical proposal (see Section 6: Proposal Instructions). The Government reserves the right to select all, some, or none of the submitted proposals for award. The primary basis for selecting proposals for acceptance will be technical merit, relevance to agency programs, and fund availability. Cost realism and reasonableness will also be considered. The Government intends to award cost-type IDIQ contracts under this BAA and cost-type definitive contracts for vendors who are not awarded IDIQs. Cost-type contracts include cost-reimbursement (FAR 16.302), Cost-sharing (FAR 16.303), or cost-plus fixed fee (FAR 16.306). The Government reserves the right to award another type of contract at its sole discretion. Eligibility for an AMTR contract requires prospective offerors to meet the minimum standards of responsibility set forth in Part 9 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Once proposal evaluations are completed, each offeror will be notified whether the Government selected their proposal for award.
DLA Research and Development; Acquisition Modernization Technology Research (AMTR) SP4701-23-B-0001
Amendment 1 Re-opens the AMTR BAA SP4701-23-B-0001 and addresses various administrative changes This notice constitutes a combined synopsis and Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the acquisition of research and development (R&D) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 35.016, “Broad agency announcement,” as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. No other solicitation will be issued. Only the information provided in this notice is available. Requests for other forms of solicitation shall be disregarded. Rapidly changing improvements in technology and increasing operational requirements have made defense acquisition more data driven and increasingly complex. To keep up with DLA’s customers demanding needs requires DLA to modernize its acquisition processes. The Acquisition Modernization Technology Research (AMTR) Program, established at the beginning of FY22, assesses acquisition and procurement processes, identifies and prioritizes areas that would benefit from IT modernization or advanced technologies, evaluates technical requirements, and pursues future research efforts for DLA. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Plan (https://www.dla.mil/Info/Strategic-Plan/) supports these DoD policies through five lines of effort (LOEs). The Acquisition Modernization Technology Research solutions should focus on all LOEs; however, there is a primary focus on LOE 4: Modernized Acquisition and Supply Chain Management, defined as “leading in logistics to deliver best value and manage risk.” The DLA Research and Development (R&D) Program Office is seeking IT modernization efforts that support any of the AMTR strategic focus areas outlined in the scope of this BAA (see Section 3: Scope). This BAA will remain open for five (5) years and will have a one-time initial closing date for receipt of cost & technical proposals for IDIQ consideration under Short Term Projects (180 days after initial posting). After the initial 180-day period the BAA will temporarily close and evaluation of cost & technical proposals will take place. During the initial BAA response period (180 day window), vendors must submit full cost & technical proposals (omitting the White Paper submission) in order to be considered for an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract (see Section 6: Proposal Instructions). Cost and technical proposals submitted under this BAA for IDIQ consideration shall describe a potential Short Term Project (STP) that aligns with one of the AMTR strategic focus areas outlined in Section 3: Scope, to be used by the Government for evaluation purposes. Initial offerors are encouraged to propose innovative solutions, highlighting any relevant DLA/DoD acquisition experience. Consideration will be given to all approaches that enable improved processes aligning with both DoD and DLA Strategic Initiatives. Only select Offerors will be awarded an IDIQ contract under the initial BAA. Although initial projects proposed in response to this BAA may result in the award of an IDIQ, a task order to execute the initial STP may or may not be issued. Each vendor who receives an IDIQ contract may be part of a working group whose purpose is to collaborate with the AMTR Program Manager, relevant DLA stakeholders and/or other vendors to identify problems and achieve improvements with measurable results in the business processes that support the AMTR program. An optional CLIN may be included in resulting task orders or contract awards for working group activities, including travel. After evaluation of initial proposals, the BAA window will re-open.

U.S. Army Contracting Command – Watervliet Arsenal (ACC-WVA) Organic Industrial Base (OIB) Modernization Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) established innovation as a central line of effort in the national defense strategy of the United States. The decisive military advantage of the United States over its adversaries and peer competitors is steadily eroding. Consequently, under section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 (Pub. L. 117-807 contracting officers may acquire innovative commercial items, technologies, or services using a competitive procedure called a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO). Under a CSO, the Department of Defense may competitively select proposals received in response to a general solicitation, similar to a broad agency announcement, based on a review of proposals by scientific, technological, or other subject-matter expert peers. Use of a CSO in accordance with Class Deviation 2022-O0007 is considered to be a competitive procedure for the purposes of 10 U.S.C. chapter 221 and FAR 6.102. Finally, Contracting Officers shall treat items, technologies, and services acquired using a CSO as commercial items. Contracts or agreements under this authority shall be fixed-price, including fixed-price incentive fee contracts. The U.S. Army recognizes that investments in producibility and advanced manufacturing will need to continue to be made to support a vast array of crucial activities, including but not limited to acquisition, sustainment, logistics, and ultimately the Army’s Modernization of its Organic Industrial base (OIB). In order to deliver impactful operational results, the US Army must modernize the OIB, particularly in the areas of Agile / flexible facilities, connected digital enterprise, advanced manufacturing, Digital Twin, automation, and cyber security. DEVCOM has coined these technologies collectively as Convergent Manufacturing. With the focus on both “new capabilities” and “operational constructs” convergent manufacturing technologies will accelerate the OIB’s capability to get advanced solutions to the Warfighter while enhancing and optimizing the Defense Manufacturing Base for today and tomorrow’s missions. Manufacturing excellence is critical for Army technology dominance and force projection to increase the “Speed of Battle.” This CSO will utilize a solicitation process authorized by Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2022 (Pub. L. 117-81) and implemented through Class Deviation 2022- O0007. Under this CSO, the DoD will be allowed to competitively procure innovative commercial items, technologies, and services. CSO procedures provide a streamlined acquisition process and simplified contract terms resulting in FAR-based contracts awarded under Part 12 Commercial Item Procedures. Both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors may be awarded contracts under this CSO. Under a CSO, DoD contracting officers may competitively select proposals received in response to a general competitive solicitation, similar to a broad agency announcement, based on a review of proposals by scientific, technological, or other subject matter experts.
