- Description
- The Department of Defense's (DoD) Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) requests proposals to perform fundamental ecological research on estuarine, coastal, and associated terrestrial ecosystems that are necessary to sustain military readiness. The desired outcome of the requested research is to: (1) understand the effects of military activities and infrastructure on these ecosystems and (2) support their sustainable and adaptive management. This notice constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2). Readers should note that this is an announcement to declare DoD SERDP's intent to competitively fund research and development that provide novel research perspectives as described in the Program Announcement. The Defense Coastal/Estuarine Research Program (DCERP) is an existing program that involves the execution of ecological research within the context of military land and other resource use. DCERP has been executed since late 2006 at Marine Corp Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The extant program has collected extensive ecological data and improved our basic understanding of many of MCB Camp Lejeune's ecosystems. This call for research proposals is intended to fund a new DCERP effort for a period of five years and also provide new thematic directions to guide the research effort. The Program Announcement and complete submittal instructions are found on the DoD SERDP web site at http://www.serdp-estcp.org/Funding-Opportunities/SERDP-Solicitations/Resource-Conservation-Special-Solicitation. To be eligible for consideration, readers wishing to respond to this announcement must submit a proposal in accordance with all instructions on the SERDP web site no later than 2:00 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, January 5, 2012. No request for proposals (RFP), solicitation, or other announcement of this opportunity will be made. Awards may take the form of contracts, grants or cooperative agreements. Submission of proposals is not restricted in any way to any particular entity. The government will not pay for any costs associated with the preparation of proposals, travel to present oral presentations in support of the proposals, nor initial preparation and submission of a project plan. There is no commitment by SERDP to make any contract awards, nor to be responsible for any money expended by the offeror before contract award is made for a demonstration. It is expected that one award totaling approximately $10.0 million will be made, dependent on receipt of proposals that appropriately address the issue. Small business participation is strongly encouraged as the government goal is that Small and Disadvantaged Businesses, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Minority Institutions participation represents 5 percent of the total contract value. Offerors are required to complete a Small Business Participation Plan (SBPP) and include it in the proposal. Both large and small vendors must submit SBPP to receive maximum credit. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541712 and 541330 with the small business size standard of 500 employees. In addition, proposals selected for funding that exceed $650,000 submitted by all but small business concerns will require a Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SBSC) in accordance with FAR 52.219-9. The HECSA Small Business Office web site at www.hecsa.usace.army.mil/hxsb provides information on how to prepare a subcontracting plan, along with links to find small businesses to participate. The SBPP and SBSC are two different requirements. The point of contact for procedural questions in the SERDP Office is Ms. Jina Banks-Saunders, 703-696-2127. For technical information regarding this announcement, contact Dr. John Hall at John.Hall@osd.mil or 703-696-2125. The HECSA point of contact for non-technical contracting issues is Mrs. Susan Hill, Susan.M.Hill@usace.army.mil or telephone at 703-428-6420 and for the subcontracting plan is Jackie Robinson-Burnette, Jackie.L.Robinson-Burnette@usace.army.mil or telephone at 202-761-8789.
