Strategic Capabilities Office Broad Agency Announcement

The Strategic Capabilities Office, an organization within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, has issued Broad Agency Announcement HY0233-SCO-24-BAA-0001 to solicit research submissions across five established areas of technical interest. The primary objective is to identify, analyze, and prototype disruptive applications of new systems and emerging technologies to create operational strategic effects, with a focus on delivering capabilities within a three to five year timeframe. This open solicitation may result in procurement contracts or other transaction agreements for research or prototypes under 10 U.S.C. sections 4021-4022. Interested parties must submit white papers based on technical judgment, as executive summaries are not accepted. While there is no predetermined contract value or award size, the agency may accept proposals in whole or in part. The solicitation is managed by the Director SCO in Washington, DC, under NAICS code 541715, with a response deadline extending to September 20, 2029. All submissions must adhere to federal regulations, technical specifications, and performance standards to be considered for funding.
