TACTICAL Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)

Solicitation # FA9451-24-S-0001

The Air Force Research Laboratory’s Directed Energy Directorate has issued the TACTICAL Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA9451-24-S-0001, a five-year competitive solicitation for research and development in directed energy and related technology areas. This BAA operates under FAR 6.102(d)(2) to enable full and open competition for scientific and technical proposals aligned with the Department of the Air Force’s warfighter needs in tactical directed energy systems. It encompasses 14 distinct technical topic areas spanning laser sources, beam control, system integration, modeling and simulation, high power electromagnetics, satellite custody, artificial intelligence for space domain awareness, and wargaming. The BAA does not accept unsolicited proposals directly; instead, technical calls for executive summaries, white papers, or full proposals are issued periodically through the System for Award Management (SAM), and only entities selected into Topic Area Groups (TAGs) via these executive summary reviews are eligible for targeted solicitation, though standard calls remain open to all qualified offerors. The annual funding profile is estimated at $499 million across FY24 through FY28, though funding is not guaranteed and subject to congressional appropriation and government discretion. Proposals must adhere to strict submission protocols, including electronic submission only via the designated secure mailbox, compliance with page limits, and specified document formatting standards. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and maintain current Annual Representations and Certifications to be eligible for award. The government anticipates awarding cost-type contracts such as Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee or Cost Contracts, or Firm Fixed-Price contracts depending on the nature of the work, with cost-type awards requiring a Defense Contract Audit Agency-approved accounting system. A critical and evolving requirement is the Science and Technology Program Protection protocol, mandating submission of completed SF-424 forms, Security Program Questionnaires, and signed Privacy Act Statements for all senior and key personnel to assess potential foreign influence or conflicts of interest. Failure to disclose foreign talent program participation or foreign components can lead to contract termination and legal consequences under federal statutes. Offerors must also comply with stringent export control requirements, including ITAR and EAR, and must hold or obtain appropriate security clearances for potential classified work. Technical evaluation prioritizes scientific and technical merit and alignment with AFRL priorities over cost, following a trade-off procurement strategy, with awards determined on best value, not lowest price. Contract administration requires electronic invoicing via WAWF, adherence to IUID and MIL-
