- Description
- Under the authority of Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 5205.15E and the authority vested in the Secretary of Defense by 10 USC 113, the DoD will announce the Department of Defense Forensic Research and Development Program. The program will be executed under the policy and guidance of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (Defense Biometrics and Forensics Office) and administered by the US Army Research Office and the US Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory. The DoD Directive 5205.15E "establishes policy and assigns responsibilities within the DoD to develop and maintain an enduring, holistic, global forensic capability to support the full range of military operations (ROMO). The Defense Forensic Enterprise (DFE) consists of those DoD resources, assets, and processes that provide forensic science analysis linking persons, places, things, and events. These linkages are made in both traditional law enforcement and medical purviews, as well as in the expeditionary environment." Additionally, DoD Directive 5205.15E designates the Secretary of the Army as the DoD Executive Agent (EA) for Forensics for those forensic disciplines relating to DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), serology, firearms and tool marks, latent prints, questioned documents, drug chemistry, and trace materials, as well as forensics relating to medical disciplines such as forensic pathology, forensic anthropology, forensic toxicology, and DNA analysis to identify human remains. Proposals that will assist the Army in achieving these goals are solicited, particularly proposals involving the development of equipment, instrumentation, and/or devices that are portable, sustainable, and useful in an expeditionary environment. The expeditionary environment requires systems that are lightweight, portable, inexpensive, fast, and capable of operating in extreme environments of temperature, dust, humidity, etc. The systems must also be capable of secure data communications. Forensic areas of interest to the Army that will be funded by this program include DNA, Latent Prints, Firearm and Tool Marks, Trace Evidence, Explosive Detection, and Drug Chemistry. The forthcoming solicitation seeks applied research deliverables beyond a technical report. Examples of applied research deliverables include equipment, instrumentation, devices, techniques, methods, systems, device prototypes, algorithms, databases, etc. The solicitation will be issued as a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as authorized by FAR 6.102(d)(2)(i). Awards will be made in the form of contracts. Grants, cooperative agreements, or other assistance instruments will not be considered for award under the forthcoming BAA solicitation.
