Protecting Army Modernization and Supply Chains- Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
Rebuilding the military by matching threats to capabilities, to include reviving the defense industrial base (DIB), is a top priority of the DoD. Strengthening the cybersecurity of the DIB and across complex supply chains is a critical component in ensuring the DoD can rapidly field emerging technologies to battlefield. The DIB is critical in achieving our national security goals and maintaining our technology advantage, and small businesses play an especially crucial role. Small businesses are at the forefront of innovation, developing cutting-edge technologies that enhance DoD capabilities. Ensuring their cybersecurity protects these innovations from cyber threats and intellectual property theft, which allows DoD to benefit from the latest advancements. The DoD collaborates with small businesses to leverage their specialized expertise, and a strong cybersecurity posture ensures these partnerships can occur securely. Additionally, small businesses provide unique solutions that contribute to the DoD's competitive edge. Protecting their cybersecurity ensures they can continue to operate and innovate without disruption, maintaining the DoD's technological superiority. Their agility in adapting to emerging threats and technological changes further underscores the importance of safeguarding their cybersecurity. Securing the supply chain is crucial for accelerating the delivery of warfighting capabilities. Complex supply chains that start in the DIB and extend to the battlefield must be protected to ensure the integrity and security of critical defense technologies. By identifying and mitigating risks from adversaries, such as cyber espionage and the insertion of malicious components, the DoD can prevent disruptions and compromises that could delay the production and deployment of essential military assets. This focus on supply chain visibility and security ultimately enhances the DoD's ability to rapidly field advanced capabilities, ensuring that the U.S. military remains prepared and resilient from the production line to the front lines.

Please note: registration to the Community will be required for submitting comments. Please see the Attachments/Links Section of this SAM posting to view the pdf file draft CfWP's for TEM 14. I. INTRODUCTION The BAA, announcement number BAA-25-R-C2CFT, is sponsored by the U.S. AFC, C2-CFT and will be open for five (5) years from the date of original issue. This BAA will be valid through 23 March 2030, unless terminated sooner. This BAA includes research interests from the C2-CFT/PEO C3N (located at APG, Maryland and or other Government agencies). U.S. AFC leads a continuous transformation of Army modernization in order to provide future warfighters with the concepts, capabilities, and organizational structures needed to dominate a future battlefield. The C2-CFT was established to address the most pressing challenges to the tactical network that our soldiers use on the battlefield. The C2-CFT brings the Warfighters, developers and testers to the center of the acquisition process through focused integration and disciplined innovation, enabling the Army to deliver leader-approved technology capabilities to warfighters. The C2-CFT is focused on integration of tactical network efforts and C3I systems and ensures disciplined innovation as it works with speed and precision. The C2-CFT is conducting experimentations and demonstrations of proven joint and special operations solutions, commercial- off-the-shelf (COTS) technology, and Non-developmental items (NDIs) with operational units to inform future requirements. The C2-CFT is promoting research to assist the Army with modernizing network with technology currently available. A. GENERAL INFORMATION This BAA is issued under the provisions of Parts 35.016 and 6.102(d)(2)(i) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), providing for the competitive selection of R&D proposals submitted in response to this announcement. To be eligible for consideration and possible award, the technology or methodology shall be either basic research, applied research, advanced technology development not for a specific system/HW, or demonstration and validation. This BAA may be used by agencies to fulfill their requirements for scientific study and experimentation directed toward advancing the state-of-the-art or increasing knowledge or understanding rather than focusing on a specific system or HW solution; however, this BAA shall only be used when meaningful proposals with varying technical/scientific approaches can be reasonably anticipated. 1. Basic Research Defined as research directed toward increasing knowledge in science with the primary aim being a fuller knowledge or understanding of the subject under study, rather than any practical application of that knowledge. 2. Applied Research Is an effort that normally follows basic research, but may not be severable from the related basic research; attempts to determine and exploit the potential of scientific discoveries or improvements in technology, materials, processes, methods, devices, or techniques; and attempts to advance the state- of-the-art. 3. Development Defined as the systematic use of scientific and technical knowledge in the design, development, testing, or evaluation of a potential, new product or service (or of an improvement in an existing product or service) to meet specific performance requirements or objectives. It includes the functions of design engineering, prototyping, and engineering testing; it excludes subcontracted technical effort that is for the sole purpose of developing an additional source for an existing product. B. BAA ELEMENTS AND OVERVIEW 1. This is a hybrid BAA combining elements of an open, two-phased, reviewing process. Phase I is an open call for White Papers (WP) addressing four Command and Control Cross Functional Team (C2-CFT) R&D focus areas: the Unified Network; the Common Operating Environment; Joint and Coalition Interoperability; Command Post Mobility and Survivability. Phase II is the process where the C2-CFT Program Manager will invite selected offerors whose White Papers are best suited to fulfill the government’s R&D requirements to submit proposals for award consideration. An open BAA allows for WP submittals at any time until the expiration of this BAA. The Government reserves the right to not evaluate a WP submitted for topics other than the one identified in this BAA. Selection for PHASE II may or may not occur based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, funding availability, relevancy and feasibility. The WP’s and proposals will be evaluated according to the instruction described herein. Phase One (1): Step One (1) - Submission of WP Based on the WP evaluation, the Government shall make a decision to select Offeror (s) to participate in a no-cost technological demonstration or go directly to Phase two (2) Submission of Proposals. Step Two (2) – Technological Demonstration (By Invitation Only) Phase Two (2): Submission of Proposals (By Invitation Only) Full proposals are requested from those potential Offerors selected in the Phase one (1) evaluation process. When proposals are received, they are evaluated and selected according to the procedures described herein. While this BAA will remain open, allowing WP submission at any time, the Government might also issue requests transmitted via “calls for WP,” using the SAM site, via https:// www.sam.gov and JCM (Joint Tactical Networking Center) site, via https://jtnc.experience.crmforce.mil/JTNC/s/limited-public/ bringing attention to one or more areas of interest requesting potential Offerors to submit a WP. The “calls for WP” might further define the technology/Government needs etc. or will simply request a WP for a specific topic. 2. WP’s may be submitted at any time while this BAA remains open, as well as in direct response to a call. The Government may award a contract or other transaction at any time while this BAA remains open. An award may also be made after the BAA expiration date if the WP is received before the expiration date occurs. This award may occur no later than six (6) months after the BAA expiration date. Offerors that submit a proposal without first submitting a WP and receiving an invitation from the Government to submit a proposal will not be eligible for award. 3. This announcement must be general in nature, identify the areas of research interest, include criteria for submitting and evaluating WPs, and solicit the participation of all Offerors capable of satisfying the Government's needs. Proposals that are selected for award are considered to be the result of full and open competition and in full compliance with the provisions of PL 98-369, the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984. Resulting agreements may be in the form of purchase orders, contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements depending upon the specifics of the effort, such as extent of Government involvement, actual scope of work, and cost. 4. The C2-CFT encourages industry interested in conducting scientific research, educational institutions, small businesses, and small disadvantaged business concerns, historically black colleges, university and minority business enterprises and institutions to submit WP’s. 5. The Government will consider the integrity and validity of Contractor Teaming Arrangements, as set forth in FAR Subpart 9.6, or Defense R&D Pools as set forth in FAR Subpart 9.7. The Offeror, certifies that the Offeror is not debarred, suspended, declared ineligible for award of public contracts, grants, agreements, or has been proposed for debarment pursuant to FAR 9.406-2. If the Offeror cannot certify, or if the status of the Offeror changes prior to award, the Offeror must provide detailed information as to its current award eligibility. 6. This BAA is an expression of interest only and does not commit the Government to make an award, nor pay for a vendor’s WP proposal preparation costs. The cost of WP and proposal preparation for response to a BAA is not considered an allowable direct charge to any follow-on award or agreement entered into with the government. Any award will be made subject to the availability of appropriated funds. The prospective Offeror will be reminded that only a duly warranted Contracting Officer (KO), from the U.S. Army Contracting Command, may obligate the Government to an agreement involving expenditure of Government funds. The Government reserves the right to fund all, some, one, or none of the WP’s or proposals received under this BAA. The Government anticipates making multiple awards subject to availability of funds. 7. This BAA may be amended to add new topics. Interested parties should be alert for any BAA amendments that may be published on the SAM site, via https://www.sam.gov and on the JCM site, via https://jtnc.experience.crmforce.mil/JTNC/s/limited-public.

Development Defined as the systematic use of scientific and technical knowledge in the design, development, testing, or evaluation of a potential, new product or service (or of an improvement in an existing product or service) to meet specific performance requirements or objectives. It includes the functions of design engineering, prototyping, and engineering testing; it excludes subcontracted technical effort that is for the sole purpose of developing an additional source for an existing product. B. BAA ELEMENTS AND OVERVIEW 1. This is a hybrid BAA combining elements of an open, two-phased, reviewing process. Phase I is an open call for White Papers (WP) addressing four Command and Control Cross Functional Team (C2-CFT) R&D focus areas: the Unified Network; the Common Operating Environment; Joint and Coalition Interoperability; Command Post Mobility and Survivability. Phase II is the process where the C2-CFT Program Manager will invite selected offerors whose White Papers are best suited to fulfill the government’s R&D requirements to submit proposals for award consideration. An open BAA allows for WP submittals at any time until the expiration of this BAA. The Government reserves the right to not evaluate a WP submitted for topics other than the one identified in this BAA. Selection for PHASE II may or may not occur based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, funding availability, relevancy and feasibility. The WP’s and proposals will be evaluated according to the instruction described herein. Phase One (1): Step One (1) - Submission of WP Based on the WP evaluation, the Government shall make a decision to select Offeror (s) to participate in a no-cost technological demonstration or go directly to Phase two (2) Submission of Proposals. Step Two (2) – Technological Demonstration (By Invitation Only) Phase Two (2): Submission of Proposals (By Invitation Only) Full proposals are requested from those potential Offerors selected in the Phase one (1) evaluation process. When proposals are received, they are evaluated and selected according to the procedures described herein. While this BAA will remain open, allowing WP submission at any time, the Government might also issue requests transmitted via “calls for WP,” using the SAM site, via https:// www.sam.gov and JCM (Joint Tactical Networking Center) site, via https://jtnc.experience.crmforce.mil/JTNC/s/limited-public/ bringing attention to one or more areas of interest requesting potential Offerors to submit a WP. The “calls for WP” might further define the technology/Government needs etc. or will simply request a WP for a specific topic. 2. WP’s may be submitted at any time while this BAA remains open, as well as in direct response to a call. The Government may award a contract or other transaction at any time while this BAA remains open. An award may also be made after the BAA expiration date if the WP is received before the expiration date occurs. This award may occur no later than six (6) months after the BAA expiration date. Offerors that submit a proposal without first submitting a WP and receiving an invitation from the Government to submit a proposal will not be eligible for award. 3. This announcement must be general in nature, identify the areas of research interest, include criteria for submitting and evaluating WPs, and solicit the participation of all Offerors capable of satisfying the Government's needs. Proposals that are selected for award are considered to be the result of full and open competition and in full compliance with the provisions of PL 98-369, the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984. Resulting agreements may be in the form of purchase orders, contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements depending upon the specifics of the effort, such as extent of Government involvement, actual scope of work, and cost. 4. The C2-CFT encourages industry interested in conducting scientific research, educational institutions, small businesses, and small disadvantaged business concerns, historically black colleges, university and minority business enterprises and institutions to submit WP’s. 5. The Government will consider the integrity and validity of Contractor Teaming Arrangements, as set forth in FAR Subpart 9.6, or Defense R&D Pools as set forth in FAR Subpart 9.7. The Offeror, certifies that the Offeror is not debarred, suspended, declared ineligible for award of public contracts, grants, agreements, or has been proposed for debarment pursuant to FAR 9.406-2. If the Offeror cannot certify, or if the status of the Offeror changes prior to award, the Offeror must provide detailed information as to its current award eligibility. 6. This BAA is an expression of interest only and does not commit the Government to make an award, nor pay for a vendor’s WP proposal preparation costs. The cost of WP and proposal preparation for response to a BAA is not considered an allowable direct charge to any follow-on award or agreement entered into with the government. Any award will be made subject to the availability of appropriated funds. The prospective Offeror will be reminded that only a duly warranted Contracting Officer (KO), from the U.S. Army Contracting Command, may obligate the Government to an agreement involving expenditure of Government funds. The Government reserves the right to fund all, some, one, or none of the WP’s or proposals received under this BAA. The Government anticipates making multiple awards subject to availability of funds. 7. This BAA may be amended to add new topics. Interested parties should be alert for any BAA amendments that may be published on the SAM site, via https://www.sam.gov and on the JCM site, via https://jtnc.experience.crmforce.mil/JTNC/s/limited-public. C. POINTS OF CONTACT All submissions, technical questions, or clarifications shall be submitted via the JCM site, via https://jtnc.experience.crmforce.mil/JTNC/s/limited-public included on the subject line BAA-25-R-C2CFT (i.e. Call for WP Number & Topic/Subtopic Number).

The C2-CFT is promoting research to assist the Army with modernizing network with technology currently available. A. GENERAL INFORMATION This BAA is issued under the provisions of Parts 35.016 and 6.102(d)(2)(i) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), providing for the competitive selection of R&D proposals submitted in response to this announcement. To be eligible for consideration and possible award, the technology or methodology shall be either basic research, applied research, advanced technology development not for a specific system/HW, or demonstration and validation. This BAA may be used by agencies to fulfill their requirements for scientific study and experimentation directed toward advancing the state-of-the-art or increasing knowledge or understanding rather than focusing on a specific system or HW solution; however, this BAA shall only be used when meaningful proposals with varying technical/scientific approaches can be reasonably anticipated. 1. Basic Research Defined as research directed toward increasing knowledge in science with the primary aim being a fuller knowledge or understanding of the subject under study, rather than any practical application of that knowledge. 2. Applied Research Is an effort that normally follows basic research, but may not be severable from the related basic research; attempts to determine and exploit the potential of scientific discoveries or improvements in technology, materials, processes, methods, devices, or techniques; and attempts to advance the state- of-the-art. 3. Development Defined as the systematic use of scientific and technical knowledge in the design, development, testing, or evaluation of a potential, new product or service (or of an improvement in an existing product or service) to meet specific performance requirements or objectives. It includes the functions of design engineering, prototyping, and engineering testing; it excludes subcontracted technical effort that is for the sole purpose of developing an additional source for an existing product. B. BAA ELEMENTS AND OVERVIEW 1. This is a hybrid BAA combining elements of an open, two-phased, reviewing process. Phase I is an open call for White Papers (WP) addressing four Command and Control Cross Functional Team (C2-CFT) R&D focus areas: the Unified Network; the Common Operating Environment; Joint and Coalition Interoperability; Command Post Mobility and Survivability. Phase II is the process where the C2-CFT Program Manager will invite selected offerors whose White Papers are best suited to fulfill the government’s R&D requirements to submit proposals for award consideration. An open BAA allows for WP submittals at any time until the expiration of this BAA. The Government reserves the right to not evaluate a WP submitted for topics other than the one identified in this BAA. Selection for PHASE II may or may not occur based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, funding availability, relevancy and feasibility. The WP’s and proposals will be evaluated according to the instruction described herein. Phase One (1): Step One (1) - Submission of WP Based on the WP evaluation, the Government shall make a decision to select Offeror (s) to participate in a no-cost technological demonstration or go directly to Phase two (2) Submission of Proposals. Step Two (2) – Technological Demonstration (By Invitation Only) Phase Two (2): Submission of Proposals (By Invitation Only) Full proposals are requested from those potential Offerors selected in the Phase one (1) evaluation process. When proposals are received, they are evaluated and selected according to the procedures described herein. While this BAA will remain open, allowing WP submission at any time, the Government might also issue requests transmitted via “calls for WP,” using the SAM site, via https:// www.sam.gov and JCM (Joint Tactical Networking Center) site, via https://jtnc.experience.crmforce.mil/JTNC/s/limited-public/ bringing attention to one or more areas of interest requesting potential Offerors to submit a WP. The “calls for WP” might further define the technology/Government needs etc. or will simply request a WP for a specific topic. 2. WP’s may be submitted at any time while this BAA remains open, as well as in direct response to a call. The Government may award a contract or other transaction at any time while this BAA remains open. An award may also be made after the BAA expiration date if the WP is received before the expiration date occurs. This award may occur no later than six (6) months after the BAA expiration date. Offerors that submit a proposal without first submitting a WP and receiving an invitation from the Government to submit a proposal will not be eligible for award. 3. This announcement must be general in nature, identify the areas of research interest, include criteria for submitting and evaluating WPs, and solicit the participation of all Offerors capable of satisfying the Government's needs. Proposals that are selected for award are considered to be the result of full and open competition and in full compliance with the provisions of PL 98-369, the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984. Resulting agreements may be in the form of purchase orders, contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements depending upon the specifics of the effort, such as extent of Government involvement, actual scope of work, and cost. 4. The C2-CFT encourages industry interested in conducting scientific research, educational institutions, small businesses, and small disadvantaged business concerns, historically black colleges, university and minority business enterprises and institutions to submit WP’s. 5. The Government will consider the integrity and validity of Contractor Teaming Arrangements, as set forth in FAR Subpart 9.6, or Defense R&D Pools as set forth in FAR Subpart 9.7. The Offeror, certifies that the Offeror is not debarred, suspended, declared ineligible for award of public contracts, grants, agreements, or has been proposed for debarment pursuant to FAR 9.406-2. If the Offeror cannot certify, or if the status of the Offeror changes prior to award, the Offeror must provide detailed information as to its current award eligibility. 6. This BAA is an expression of interest only and does not commit the Government to make an award, nor pay for a vendor’s WP proposal preparation costs. The cost of WP and proposal preparation for response to a BAA is not considered an allowable direct charge to any follow-on award or agreement entered into with the government. Any award will be made subject to the availability of appropriated funds. The prospective Offeror will be reminded that only a duly warranted Contracting Officer (KO), from the U.S. Army Contracting Command, may obligate the Government to an agreement involving expenditure of Government funds. The Government reserves the right to fund all, some, one, or none of the WP’s or proposals received under this BAA. The Government anticipates making multiple awards subject to availability of funds. 7. This BAA may be amended to add new topics. Interested parties should be alert for any BAA amendments that may be published on the SAM site, via https://www.sam.gov and on the JCM site, via https://jtnc.experience.crmforce.mil/JTNC/s/limited-public. C. POINTS OF CONTACT All submissions, technical questions, or clarifications shall be submitted via the JCM site, via https://jtnc.experience.crmforce.mil/JTNC/s/limited-public included on the subject line BAA-25-R-C2CFT (i.e. Call for WP Number & Topic/Subtopic Number). No discussions by the technical staff are to be held with Offeror after proposal submission without PRIOR authorization from the KO. Contractual questions shall be directed to the cognizant ACC representative identified in SAM.

Synchronized Persistent Army Experimentation (SPARX)
SPECIAL NOTICE Synchronized Persistent Army Experimentation (SPARX) A. Description: Synchronized Persistent Army Experimentation (SPARX) is a collaborative process between industry partners and the Army that is intended to enable collective innovation and identify novel technology capabilities that will help the Army achieve its modernization goals. It provides a structured means for collection of questionnaires about products and technologies to Government representatives for consideration to a variety of controlled and operationally relevant experimentation environments. It is part of the Army Futures Command (AFC) campaign of learning, which is designed to aggressively advance and integrate the Army’s contributions to the Joint and Multi-national force for convergence effects across all domains (air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace) in order to maintain U.S. overmatch. SPARX is a process to match industry partners’ technologies to a series of experiments and observations in operationally realistic environments. Developed and managed by the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), the SPARX process will allow for collective innovation and further experimentation in both applied and advanced technology developments with innovative partners. SPARX will serve as the principal entry point for industry partners to provide information relating to their technologies for Army experimentation. This process is designed to do the following: 1. Synchronize and streamline the information process for industry to then obtain information for Army experimentation events. It provides an avenue for industry partners to submit information regarding their technologies via a technology overview template. 2. Make it easier for event holders to include industry technologies into their events by ensuring all submission documents are readily available with an early technology assessment. SPARX is currently participating with multiple experimentation events. Submissions will be reviewed by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from across AFC. The SMEs will conduct an initial informal examination of the technology DEVCOM will inform the submitting Industry Partner of the event(s) (if any) to which the technology has been aligned. Once aligned to an experimentation event, technology submissions will be forwarded to the event planners during the event open window. These events are developed and managed by the Army event planners As such, if a technology is invited to an experiment the event planner will coordinate all the requirements for participation. Events are not hosted by DEVCOM HQ and if an industry partner attends such an event they should expect further guidance from the event planner or host. It is possible that further documentation (i.e. NDA, proof of liability insurance, etc.) may be required by the event host/planner. B. Submission Guidelines: Prospective companies are requested to submit a SPARX Technology Overview (attachment). The submission documents into the SPARX Collection will also serve as the submission documents into the aligned Army experimentation event(s). Submissions of SPARX Technology Overview documents should be sent to: sparx@army.mil Submissions may be submitted at any time while this notice is open. If an event submission window has closed for that fiscal year, your technology submission will be considered for the following fiscal year. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Army is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Respondees are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued.
