Long Range BAA for the Undersea Security Program

The Department of the Navy's Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) has issued Broad Agency Announcement N00030-26-S-7002 to solicit proposals for Long-Range Science and Technology projects supporting the Undersea Security Program. This solicitation focuses on basic and applied research, advanced technology development, and prototyping across three primary areas: studies and assessments for tactical submarine evolution and investment strategies, technology to enhance the survivability of submarines and unmanned undersea systems against various signal types, and novel systems engineering for next-generation high-yield maritime strike architectures. Proposals are evaluated primarily on technical merit, importance to agency programs, and funds availability, with additional consideration given to offeror capabilities, personnel qualifications, and naval relevance. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide a valid Unique Entity ID. Submission requirements include a mandatory cover page, a technical proposal limited to 10 pages, a cost proposal using the provided Excel template, and a statement of work also limited to 10 pages. White papers are limited to 5 pages and must be submitted electronically to the designated contracting officers. The program emphasizes the protection of intellectual property and national security, requiring disclosures regarding organizational conflicts of interest and adherence to cybersecurity and safety standards, particularly for projects involving ammunition and explosives. Awards are made in accordance with FAR 35.016(e), and the period of performance and funding will vary based on the specific technology area and technical approach.
