Only white papers will be accepted as initial submissions; formal proposals will be accepted by invitation only. While white papers will be considered if received prior to 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 30 Sep 2020, the following submission dates are suggested to best align with projected funding: FY19 by 15 Oct 2018 FY19 by 15 Apr 2019 FY20 by 15 Oct 2019 FY20 by 15 Apr 2020 Offerors should monitor the Federal Business Opportunities website at http://www.fbo.gov in the event this announcement is amended. CONCISE SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENT: AFRL Information Directorate's Autonomy Command & Control Core Technical Competency (AC2 CTC) is seeking innovative approaches to the overall goal of Mastering the Complexity of Commanding and Controlling Multi-Domain operations. This goal has two distinct parts. The first is reducing the complexity that airmen must endure as a result of the myriad of complex systems of systems used in order to create multi-domain plans and subsequent orders. The desired effect of this reduction in complexity is the reduction of uncertainty in planning operations and an associated increase in operations ops tempo. The second part of this goal is the imposition of complexity on an adversary that comes with developing synchronized and orchestrated effects through the use of assets from multiple domains. For this BAA we will focus on the operational domains of air, space and cyberspace, but will consider innovative approaches that may include land and maritime. A major class of approaches to this management of complexity will involve the use of machine learning algorithms. BAA ESTIMATED FUNDING: Total funding for this BAA is approximately $9,999,999.00. Individual awards will not normally exceed 6 months with dollar amounts normally ranging from $300K to $500K. There is also the potential to make awards up to any dollar value as long as the value does not exceed the available BAA ceiling amount. ANTICIPATED INDIVIDUAL AWARDS: Multiple Awards are anticipated. TYPE OF INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY BE AWARDED: Procurement contract, grant, cooperative agreement or other transactions AGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION: All white paper submissions and any questions of a technical nature shall be directed to the cognizant Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) as specified below (unless otherwise specified in the technical area): BAA MANAGER : John Gancasz AFRL/RISB 525 Brook Rd Rome, NY 13441-4505 Telephone: (315)330-4061 Email:john.gancasz.1@us.af.mil Questions of a contractual/business nature shall be directed to the cognizant contracting officer, as specified below (email requests are preferred): Gail Marsh Telephone (315) 330-7518 Email: Gail.Marsh@us.af.mil Emails must reference the solicitation (BAA) number and title of the acquisition. Pre-Proposal Communication between Prospective Offerors and Government Representatives : Dialogue between prospective offerors and Government representatives is encouraged. Technical and contracting questions can be resolved in writing or through open discussions. Discussions with any of the points of contact shall not constitute a commitment by the Government to subsequently fund or award any proposed effort. Only Contracting Officers are legally authorized to commit the Government. Proposers are cautioned that evaluation ratings may be lowered and/or proposal rejected if proposal preparation (Proposal format, content, etc.) and/or submittal instructions are not followed.
