TACTICAL Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)

Solicitation # FA9451-24-S-0001

The TACTICAL Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA9451-24-S-0001 is a five-year research initiative managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Directed Energy Directorate. The program seeks innovative, cost-effective solutions to advance directed energy technologies, focusing on computational development, validation, and the enhancement of performance, reliability, and affordability for future weapon system components. With an estimated total funding profile of 499 million dollars over five years, the BAA covers 14 distinct topic areas, including laser sources, beam control, satellite custody and characterization, high power electromagnetics, and wargaming. This is a BAA with closed calls, meaning proposals are not submitted to the overarching announcement but in response to specific calls issued periodically via SAM.gov. The government may utilize various contract types, including Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee and Firm Fixed Price, though cost-type awards require a DCAA-approved accounting system. To streamline the process, the AFRL utilizes Topic Area Groups (TAGs), where technically qualified entities are pre-selected based on executive summaries to receive future requests for proposals or white papers. Selection is based on overall scientific and technical merit, importance to program requirements, and fund availability, with cost analyzed for realism and reasonableness rather than used as a primary evaluation criterion.
