NRL Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Basic and Applied Research
The Naval Research Laboratory is seeking innovative research proposals under a Broad Agency Announcement, with a focus on technical topics including the compatibility of fluorine-free foam with non-aspirating sprinkler nozzles. Offerors must first submit a White Paper with a rough cost estimate to the email address in the relevant summary topic; if invited, a formal proposal will follow. Awards may take the form of contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions, and the government may select all, some, or none of the proposals. Evaluation will prioritize the technical merit of proposals, with business aspects and cost realism also considered. The complete BAA, including proposal instructions and evaluation criteria, is available online.
