AI Contract Overview
The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), managed by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), is soliciting extramural research and development ideas through Broad Agency Announcement HT9425-23-S-SOC1. This initiative focuses on basic and applied research to advance scientific knowledge and the state-of-the-art in biomedical and human performance research, specifically targeting innovative medical techniques and materiel for Special Operations Forces in challenging or austere environments. The program is designed to benefit both military and civilian medical practices and is continuously open for a five-year period from August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2028. The application process follows a two-tier submission requirement. Interested parties must first submit a pre-proposal via the electronic Biomedical Research Application Portal (eBRAP). If the government determines the project is of interest, the Principal Investigator will be invited to submit a full proposal through Grants.gov. Evaluation is based on a two-step review process consisting of a scientific peer review for technical merit and a programmatic review assessing SOF relevance, portfolio balance, and programmatic priorities. Awards are determined using a trade-off basis where technical merit and agency importance generally outweigh cost. Individual project funding is typically anticipated to be at or below 1.5 million dollars for the base period, with a maximum allowable cost of 5 million dollars including options and extensions. All offerors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and possess a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Special requirements include strict adherence to human subject and animal research regulatory approvals, the submission of detailed risk management plans, and the disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest. Performance is expected to occur across various domains, including sea, ground, air, and suborbital environments, to ensure operational impact in expeditionary settings.
