- Description
- The Department of Defense Rapid Reaction Technology Office offers new, more streamlined ways to fund public and commercial ideas that meet its needs. Currently, three needs are described below, and in full on a public website, DefenseSolutions.gov. The best ideas will be funded quickly using flexible funding agreements. The website - DefenseSolutions.gov. - explains these three needs fully and permits the public to send in its initial ideas about their development using a simplified form. The form asks for a short description (abstract) of the idea, the technical basis for the idea, and how the idea will be matured into a prototype and tested. All entries are free form and submitted electronically. Award of flexible funding agreements is planned for the best ideas submitted. DoD will emphasize use of Other Transactions Authority (10 USC 2371; section 845, P.L. 103-160 as amended) to fund these ideas. It is anticipated that multiple awards will be made, each typically less than $400,000, with emphasis on rapid production of prototypes based on the submitted ideas. The solicitation of ideas is competitive and remains open until the requirements for prototypes are satisfied by awards or are withdrawn. Organizations or individuals submitting ideas via the website are not expected to be familiar with traditional government contracting procedures or requirements. Flexible funding agreements will be individually negotiated. The Rapid Reaction Technology Office seeks innovative companies, institutions, or individuals to develop three Battlefield Forensics items: a Multi-Test Kit (Explosives, Drugs, Heavy Metals/Gunshot Residue); a Handheld Sensitive Site Exploration Documentation Device; and a Digital Image Device Linkage at Warfighter Level. The Multi-Test Kit is a compact, rugged, simple-to-use presumptive test for the presence of 29 explosive compounds, 5 classes of drugs, and 3 heavy metals. The Sensitive Site Exploration Documentation Device is a combination tool for rapid and precise collection of evidence. It integrates the functions of a camera, digital tape recorder, distance measuring devices, label printer, GPS locator, and control software in a single compact unit. The Digital Image Device interrogates cell phones to determine the origin of any stored images. Complete need descriptions, specific capabilities desired, and expected technical performance for these three items are available at the DefenseSolutions.gov website, http://defensesolutions.gov. Submission of ideas, offers, or solutions is by electronic form provided at the website. Primary Point of Contact: David A.
