Biomedical Research Application Evaluation and Support (BRAES)

Solicitation # HT942727RE006

The Biomedical Research Application Evaluation and Support (BRAES) contract is a performance-based, non-commercial Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (MA-IDIQ) solicitation issued by the Defense Health Agency for the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. With a ceiling cost of 137 million dollars and an estimated period of performance from January 2027 to January 2032, the contract supports the evaluation of biomedical research applications. The scope is divided into four primary areas: funding opportunity announcement set-up, oversight of application receipt and processing, application compliance review, and scientific merit peer review. While the first three tasks are awarded to a single vendor via the eBRAP task order, the scientific peer review tasks are awarded to multiple vendors through Science Administration and Management (SAM) task orders, which require the operation of a secure, contractor-owned, contractor-operated (COCO) web-based system. The government will utilize a Highest Technically Rated with a Fair and Reasonable Cost/Price approach to select approximately three awardees. Evaluation factors include technical approach, management approach, past performance, and small business participation, with cost and price serving as the final check for the highest-rated proposals. Key requirements for offerors include an active SAM registration, a CMMC Level 1 self-assessment, and the submission of a five-volume proposal by December 2, 2026. Contract administration involves a mix of Cost Plus Fixed Fee and Firm Fixed Price arrangements, with invoicing processed through the Wide Area Workflow system. Performance is monitored via Quality Assurance Surveillance Plans using random sampling and 100 percent inspection to determine CPARS ratings based on accuracy and schedule adherence.

Full Description

This notice is posted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 5.203(a). The U.S. Department of Education (Department) has an ongoing requirement to be able to formally collaborate with a global community of educational policymakers, marketplace product and service providers and the customers they serve to address real world learning information management needs and challenges. In the past, the Department has filled this need through participation in the Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) Association, which has since changed its name to the "Access 4 Learning" (A4L) Community. The A4L Community is a unique, non-profit collaboration composed of over 3,200 schools, districts, local authorities, states, US and International Ministries of Education, software vendors and consultants who collectively address all aspects of learning information management and access to support learning. The A4L Community's major technical tool is its "Powered by SIF" Specifications. Developed collaboratively by the Community, the specifications provide access to information simply, securely and in a scalable, standard way regardless of the platform hosting those applications. The A4L Community brings together these education technology end users and providers in an unprecedented effort to give teachers more time to do what they do best: teach. ANTICIPATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance of this contract is for a one year base period, with the option for four more periods, each one year in length. INTENDED SOURCE The Department anticipates making a sole source award, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, to Schools Interoperability Framework to satisfy its requirement. Any responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency no later than Friday, July 14, 2017 at 10 AM EST. JUSTIFICATION The A4L Community is a unique, non-profit collaboration composed of over 3,200 schools, districts, local authorities, states, US and International Ministries of Education, software vendors and consultants who collectively address all aspects of learning information management and access to support learning. The A4L Community's major technical tool is its "Powered by SIF" Specifications which, in part, is an implementation of the Department's Common Education Data Standards (CEDS). Therefore, it is essential that the Department, as the primary supporter and technical developer of the CEDS, has an active voice in the A4L community through acquiring an annual membership. A4L is the only provider of this membership, and therefore, a sole source award is necessary.
