However, it may be an allowa ble expense to the normal bid and proposal indirect cost specified in FAR 31.205-18. Funds are not presently available for the research interests represented in this BAA. No contract award will be made unless appropriated funds are available for payment for the effort being acquired. Prospective offerors are reminded that only a duly warranted Contracting Officer may obligate the Government. Any resultant contract award would include all clauses required by Federal Acquisition Regulations and appropriat e supplements. This BAA is intended for the development of research efforts in fuel cell technology in support of the RDEC Army Power Division. Fuel cell technology is one of the key research and development candidates for advanced power sources. The US Army is interested in receiving proposals for basic and applied research, development, and demonstration of lightweight, robust, cost effective fuel cell power sources, associated technology and associated components for use in various mobile and portable applications ranging from less than one watt to five kilowatts. Research and development of fuel cell stack auxiliary components such as pumps, fans, valves, electronics controls, and other technologies that are associated with fuel cell technology are al so acceptable as a separate item or as part of a larger research and development proposal. Hybrid technologies utilizing energy sources such as batteries are acceptable under this topic as long as they are fuel cell based and provide enhanced capabilities. These technologies shall utilize liquid fuel directly, or shall process liquid fuels into a suitable fuel source for use in fuel cell technology demonstrations, or employ hydrogen storage/generation technology as a source of hydrogen. Fuel processing tech nology research, development, and demonstration with emphasis placed on logistics fuel (diesel, JP8) reforming for direct use in fuel cell power sources is also acceptable as a separate item or as part of a larger research and development proposal. The sou rce of hydrogen or type of fuel under this topic is open; however, consideration should be given to cost, practicality, and safety implications. Potential offerors are reminded that only a duly warranted contracting officer may obligate the government to an agreement involving the expenditure of Government funds.
