Five (5) Year Closed Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) with CALLs for the Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Vehicles Directorate, Sensing and Protection Branch

The contract pertains to a five-year Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) identified as BAA-RV-12-01, issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory's Space Vehicles Directorate, specifically the Sensing and Protection Branch, located at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. This BAA focuses on advancing technology through multiple Calls (CALLs), one of which is CALL 0001, titled "Superlattice Technology Arrays for Midwave Photon Excited Detector Enhancement" (STAMPEDE). The contract opportunity was initially posted in March 2013 on the Federal Business Opportunities website but was later amended to provide a direct web link connecting CALL 0001 to its parent BAA, allowing for easier access and clarity regarding the solicitation. The solicitation falls under the North American Industry Classification System code 541712 and does not specify any type of set-aside. The contract process involves two key points of contact: Contract Specialist Cardin Crossland and Contracting Officer Teofilo Bautista Jr., both based at Kirtland AFB and reachable via email and phone. This presolicitation serves to guide interested parties on the proposal submission process for research and development initiatives aimed at enhancing midwave photon sensors using superlattice technology, aligning with the Department of Defense’s interests in sensor and protection technologies for space vehicles.
