Aviation Research BAA 2025

Solicitation # 692M15-25-R-00004

The Aviation Research BAA 2025, solicitation number 692M15-25-R-00004, is a long-term initiative sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to support basic and applied research at the William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace. Valid from December 5, 2024, through December 4, 2034, this Broad Agency Announcement seeks to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace safety and efficiency across five primary program branches: Airport Technology R&D, Software and Systems, Structures and Propulsion, Separation Standards Analysis, and Fire Safety. The FAA encourages submissions from a diverse range of offerors, including academia, industry, and small businesses, to address evolving air transportation challenges. The solicitation utilizes a phased submission process where interested parties first submit brief white papers for specific Topics of Interest. If a white paper is deemed meritorious, the FAA may request a formal proposal consisting of a technical volume and a price/cost volume. Awards are made bilaterally based on a favorable feasibility assessment, with cost analyzed for reasonableness and realism rather than being a rated factor. While funding varies by project, rough order of magnitude estimates range from $100,000 to $1.2 million per award, with many projects anticipated to be funded annually for a period of 12 to 36 months. All offerors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award.

NSF Ecosystem for Low-dimensional Electronics: Growth, Assembly, Nanoelectronics, and Translation (NSF ELEGANT)

Solicitation # NSF-OTASO-FY26-ELEGANT

The National Science Foundation's ELEGANT program is a translational initiative designed to move low-dimensional semiconductor technologies, such as 2D materials and 1D nanotubes, from laboratory settings into industrially viable platforms. The program aims to enhance U.S. leadership in advanced microelectronics to support artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and national security. This effort is structured as an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), meaning it is not a traditional FAR procurement contract. The program seeks an Ecosystem Coordinator and Expert Performer Teams to execute five specific translation themes: Manufacturable Materials Platform, Process Technology and Process Design Kit, Device, Circuit and Full-Chip Demonstration, Manufacturing Readiness and Transition, and AI-Enabled Acceleration. The total anticipated funding for the six-year period of performance is up to 150 million dollars, with specific allocations ranging from 6 million to 43 million dollars across the various themes and the coordinator role. Performance is outcome-based and measured by industry-adoptable Translational Endpoints, utilizing a phase-based Go/No-Go milestone system to validate technical quality and manufacturing readiness. Key requirements include the use of domestic fabrication and testing infrastructure, with the majority of work performed in the United States. Proposals are due by December 18, 2026, and will be evaluated on a highest merit basis, focusing on translational credibility, technical experience, and the realism of execution plans.

Full Description

FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION 2016 EXPLORATORY ADVANCED RESEARCH PROGRAM BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT PRESOLICITATION No. DTFH6116R00036 This synopsis is issued in accordance with FAR Part 5.201 in response to the mandatory requirement for a pre-solicitation notification. The purpose of this synopsis is to announce the Federal Highway Administration's intent to issue a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Exploratory Advanced Research Program (EAR). As a result of this BAA, the FHWA intends to award contracts and/or cooperative agreements. Offerors shall propose periods of performance based on individual proposed research efforts in accordance with the guidance in the BAA. The BAA is anticipated to be released on or about August 19, 2016 to close on October 14, 2016. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is soliciting for proposals under its EAR Program for research projects that could lead to transformational changes and truly revolutionary advances in highway engineering and intermodal surface transportation in the United States. This program supports scientific investigations and studies that advance the current knowledge and state-of-the-art in the sciences and technologies employed in the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance and management of the nation's highways. Strategically, this research will enable and expedite the development of revolutionary approaches, methodologies, and breakthroughs required to drive innovation and greatly improve the efficiency of highway transportation. The FHWA anticipates sponsoring research addressing the following three topics through the issuance of this BAA including the following: Topic 1: Computation Methods for Analysis of Mobile Device Data With increased focus on accurate measurement and projections of travel data across modes, there is a need for new methods for data uptake and integration. FHWA identified potential new data analytic methods that could be applied to large data and integrated with and validated against known structured travel data. Currently the EAR Program is supported related research for safety data and freight data. This topic would apply new approaches and data to travel behavior. Topic 2: Behavioral Science and Experimental Economics Approaches for Transportation The tools of behavioral economics and cognitive psychology have recently evolved to answer paradoxes which were not being addressed by the economic model of 'rational' actors particularly with respect to understanding the human reaction to risk. The EAR Program funded one project using this approach applied to pricing. This new research effort would use a behavioral economic framework to discover, test, adapt and develop public policy 'nudges' to improve safe use of new technologies from mobile devices to connected and automated systems. Topic 3: New Methods in Simulation This topic includes methods to allow federated simulation and integration of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies. Building on advances in online gaming military training, and aviation simulation, there are new technologies that could allow for distributed, cross-modal, and cross-platform simulation. Connected simulation could provide new methods for studying interactions between vehicle drivers and between drivers and non-motorized travelers as well as methods for safely assessing the introduction of new connected and automated technologies. The BAA will be released electronically via this Government Point of Entry (GPE) otherwise known as Federal Business Opportunities or www.fbo.gov. As such, no written, telephonic or other type of request for an advance copy of the announcement will be entertained at this time. Potential offerors/vendors are encouraged to register on www.fbo.gov to receive any further information in reference to the subject action inclusive of any announcements, and/or amendments to the solicitation after its release. Any questions regarding this synopsis should be directed to the Contracting Officer, Robin Hobbs at contact@example.gov.
