A -- RESEARCH TOPICS OF THE NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY, STENNIS SPACE CENTER AND MONTEREY (NRL-SSC AND NRL-MC) SOL NRL-SSC BAA 95-1 POC Contact Point, Janet Hyatt-Taylor, 601-689-8990/Contracting Officer, John W. Adams, III, 601-689-8990. The Naval Research Laboratory, is seeking proposals for exploratory and applied scientific research. The purpose of this announcement is to augment our Broad Agency Announcement, NRL-SSC BAA 95-1, issued on 1 December 1994 by adding the following topic: OCEANOGRAPHIC REMOTE SENSING - NRL is investigating innovative approaches in extracting geophysical parameters from remote sensors over coastal and open ocean areas. Derived parameters include, but are not limited to, the relationships, surf characteristics, intensity modulation transfer function, and wave damping due to natural or man-made slicks. A critical element in this activity is the ability to verify and validate theory and applied algorithms initiated by NRL, the proposer, or a third party that the proposer is collaborating with. NRL is interested in proposals for basic and applied research which will further an understanding of physical oceanography, supported by sea truthing activities. Proposers may respond to one or more areas of interest, or may propose clearly related investigations, however, each area requires an individual and complete proposal which will be separately evaluated. For technical information, contact Dr. Ralph Fiedler, NRL Code 7260, at (202) 767-0644, or by e-mail at fiedler@ese.nrl.navy.mil. This topic is a part of NRL's General Solicitation BAA 95-1 which is in effect until 30 November 1995. The General Solicitation describes all research topics and proposal preparation requirements for NRL-SSC's BAA. Written requests are required to receive a copy of this General Solicitation. Facsimile copies of written requests will be accepted at telephone number 601-689-8960. Interested parties may request return shipment via express courier. These shipments will be at the requesting parties expense, therefore, the name of the courier and a current account number must be included in the written request. Some contracts awarded as a result of this announcement may include options as defined in FAR 17.200 and/or may be awarded using the DoD Streamlined Research and Development (R&D) Contracting Procedures - Test, as defined in DFARS 235.70. Contact Point: Questions shall be referred to the NRL-SSC Contracting Branch, Code 3250, 601-689-8990. Offerors are advised that only Contracting Officers acting within the scope of their authority are legally authorized to commit the Government regarding this announcement. Potential offerors are notified this announcement and general solicitation concern selected research topics of NRL. Additional NRL BAA topics are available by calling the NRL Contracting Division, Washington, DC, at telephone number 202-767-6263. (0066)
