SOLICITATION NOTICE - THERE ARE NO FUNDS AGAINST THIS BAA SOLICITATION W911QY-20-R-0022. SOLICITATION W911QY-20-R-0022 IS AVAILABLE AS OF 29 FEBRUARY 2020 and is open until 28 FEBRUARY 2025. ***Proposal Checklist has been updated and uploaded.*** ***BAA Solicitation (Updated 31 Mar 2021) and associated BAA templates for submission are attached.*** The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command - Soldier Center Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) identifies scientific and technical areas of interest for research and/or exploratory development. This BAA is conducted using full and open competition. In an effort to minimize proposal preparation cost, this BAA utilizes a two-step process. The first step will be the submission of a concept paper. Offerors that submit concept papers that are consistent with the intent of the BAA, and are of interest to the Government will be invited to submit a proposal (step two). Such an invitation does not assure that the submitting organization will be awarded a contract. Instructions for the submission of a concept paper are required prior to the submission of a proposal. Failure to follow this two-step process may preclude the chance for award. Proposals submitted in response to the BAA will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in the BAA. Technical evaluations will employ a peer or scientific review process. A proposal's technical evaluation and its importance to agency programs, along with funding availability are primary bases for contract award. Cost realism and reasonableness shall also be considered to the extent appropriate. Concept papers will be accepted continuously through 28 February 2025. This BAA will remain open continuously through 28 February 2025. The BAA technical areas of interest are divided into the following groups: A. COMBAT FEEDING COMBAT FEEDING EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS COMBAT RATION RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT B. SOLDIER PROTECTION AND SURVIVABILITY WARFIGHTER SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES 1.
