- I.��PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:� This is a REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP): AFRL/AFOSR, is requesting a technical proposal to enter into a Partnership Intermediary Agreement with entities that facilitate joint projects and accelerate technology transfer between the lab and the commercial market under the authority of 15 USC 3715 � Use of Partnership Intermediaries. The anticipated period of performance for this agreement is 15 Sep 2022 � 14 Sep 2027. The purpose of the PIA is to perform the work on projects and collaboration amongst the many research topics and areas of interest that are associated with a future Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA) on behalf of the Air Force Research Laboratory. �The partnership intermediaries increase the likelihood of success in the conduct of joining activities between AFRL and small business firms, institutions of education, or educational institutions. The intermediaries also help companies to identify federal technologies that can be licensed and commercialized; and work to develop and grow environments and capabilities for fostering innovation and collaboration necessary for addressing the basic and applied research challenges of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The Partnership Intermediary Agreement will enable AFOSR to identify, investigate, and exploit research opportunities that will transform future Air Force and Department of Defense (DoD) capabilities. The PIAs Program goals are: 1. Establish and maintain innovative unclassified and classified environments that enable AFOSR members and other entities to effectively experience innovation and collaboration. The collaboration environments will facilitate diverse teams to be trained on innovation and collaboration tools, techniques, and processes. 2. Maintain awareness of the latest tools, techniques, and processes for innovation and collaboration, and provide this information to AFOSR and to provide analytical support to AFOSR/AFRL scientists and engineers (S&Es) to identify, investigate, and exploit research and T2 opportunities. 3. Capture and promote impact and outcomes of associated activities: collaborations, events, workshops, panels, reviews and events such as challenges and webinars to educate and promote Science and Technology activities from AFOSR and AFRL. 4. Develop a comprehensive plan for enhancing the technology transition potential of AFOSR�s basic research. 5. Increase the skills of the current workforce, assist in recruiting the future workforce, identify opportunities for partnering with industry, professional societies, non-governmental organizations, and state/local organizations on efforts to develop the future generations of scientists and engineers in DoD relevant fields. 6. Provide a quarterly and annual report detailing activities supporting efforts.

SAM Exemption or Exceptions Not Available Under This Announcement We will not issue an Agency level exemption to SAM registration under 2 CFR 25.110(d) for applicants under this announcement. You must comply with SAM registration requirements and include an Organizational Unique Entity Identifier in the application or we cannot make an award. �Questions about SAM Registrations and Updates You can get questions about SAM registration and entity updates answered by live chat at https://www.fsd.gov/gsafsd_sp and telephone at (866) 606-8220. Help topics for SAM.gov are available at: https://www.fsd.gov/gsafsd_sp?id=kb_category&kb_category=f56ee43edbfadc102c5f368f7c961906. Consequences of Non-Compliance with SAM Registration Requirements We cannot make an award to you unless you comply with SAM requirements. If you are non-compliant, we may determine you are not qualified to receive an award, and use that determination to make an award to someone else as authorized by 2 CFR 25.205(b). You cannot receive payments without an active SAM record and CAGE code. State and local government entities and their affiliates may qualify as Partnership Intermediaries. A Partnership Intermediary can be: (I) a state or local government agency; (2) a non-profit entity owned, operated, or funded in whole or in part by, or on behalf of, a state or local government; or (3) a non-profit entity chartered by a state or local government. 10 USC �2368(f)(2); 15 USC �3715(c). A non-profit entity seeking to qualify as a partnership intermediary therefore must show a nexus to a state or local government. This nexus may consist of legislative sponsorship and/or (partial) funding, a defined state or local role in its operations, even if limited, or some form of government action demonstrating the organization is authorized to work on behalf of a state or local government.�� Place of performance is anticipated to be within in Arlington, VA.
