Broad Agency Announcement DEVCOM C5ISR RTI Amendment 007

The U.S. Army C5ISR Center Research and Technology Integration Directorate is soliciting innovative science and technology proposals under Broad Agency Announcement W56KGU-23-R-RTID. This full and open competition is open until November 1, 2027, and focuses on advancing C5ISR technologies to ensure information dominance and decisive lethality for networked Soldiers. The primary research areas include Soldier and Platform Mission Equipment, Spectrum Dominance, Intelligence and Survivability, and Electro-Optic Infrared Sensors, Modeling, Processing, and Power. Awards may be issued as FAR-based procurement contracts, including cost-plus types, or as Other Transaction Agreements for prototypes. Proposals are by invitation only following an initial white paper review. Invited offerors must submit a package consisting of a transmittal letter, a detailed statement of work, a technical volume limited to 60 pages, and a cost volume. Evaluation is based on a hierarchy of factors, with overall scientific and technical merit being the most critical, followed by relevance to the DoD mission, intellectual property and data rights, program management, past performance, and cost reasonableness. A project management approach serves as a pass/fail gate for eligibility. Contractors must maintain current SAM registration under NAICS code 541715 and adhere to strict security requirements. This includes possessing appropriate security clearances for classified work and complying with DoDI 5200.48 for the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information. Mandatory annual CUI training is required for all employees. All resulting awards will incorporate the most current FAR, DFARS, and AFARS clauses, and offerors must disclose any potential organizational conflicts of interest.
