Broad Agency Announcement _ TRMC _ TE-ST _ W900KK-22-R-0012

The Broad Agency Announcement W900KK-22-R-0012 is a long-term solicitation active through March 14, 2037, aimed at advancing Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) technologies to enhance the Department of Defense’s Test and Evaluation/Science and Technology (T&E/S&T) capabilities. It targets Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) 3–6, focusing on innovations that will make T&E processes higher quality, more cost-effective, and faster across Developmental, Operational, and Live-Fire Testing domains. The program actively seeks novel, high-risk, high-payoff solutions that are too unconventional for current DoD adoption, prioritizing technical merit and mission relevance over cost. Proposals must align with specific Opportunity Notices detailing technical areas such as high-G centrifuges for IMU testing, requiring precision engineering, sustainability planning, and compliance with advanced performance metrics. Submission requires a multi-volume technical and cost proposal adhering to strict formatting, page limits, and naming conventions, with all documents delivered electronically to designated officials by the deadline. Key attachments include signed data rights, intellectual property assertions, cost worksheets, and project quad charts, all subject to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), export control, and Limited Dissemination markings. Evaluation prioritizes scientific and technical merit equally with mission relevance, followed by cost realism, using a trade-off process rather than Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. Contractors must comply with rigorous security protocols including Facility Clearance Levels, NISPOM standards, antiterrorism training, and organizational conflict of interest disclosures, particularly when providing prior advising services to TRMC. All work must be performed under strict data rights agreements, with the government expecting unlimited rights to developed IP unless explicitly restricted, and prohibits public dissemination of results without approval under ITAR or CUI regulations. Performance is structured in phased milestones with defined exit criteria and deliverables including prototypes, software with source code, and system documentation, all subject to Government inspection and acceptance via DD Form 250 at designated facilities, with no FOB terms specified. Submission is governed by a clear chain of contact, administrative requirements, and adherence to federal acquisition guidelines, but no contract value, funding ceiling, or payment details are provided in the solicitation.
