The purpose of this BAA is to serve as a five-year (60-month) open continuous vehicle through which topics will be released as individual calls as they become available during the BAA open period. This BAA will remain open for five years from the date of release.
The scope of this BAA is limited to projects that meet Technology Readiness Level (TRL) definitions in the TRL range of 3-6 (see ATTACHMENT 1 for TRL definitions). Upon completion of the proposed development efforts, solutions should strive to meet a TRL in the range of 4-6. Proposals that address technologies at TRL 4 or greater should also be aware of the Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) considerations.
The DTRA RD-CB mission was established by the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide state-of-the-art defense capabilities to allow military forces of the United States to operate and to successfully complete their missions in chemical and biological warfare environments. The scope of mission efforts and the priorities assigned to specific projects are influenced by changes in military and civilian Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD) science and technology, advanced developments, operational requirements, military threat assessments, and national defense strategies. To keep pace with defense capability requirements, the CBD Program (CBDP), as part of its mission, routinely promulgates chemical and biological research. The comprehensive research program encompasses both intramural and extramural sources, and the role of each is vital to the fulfillment of the CBDP objectives.
DTRA is seeking optimum approaches to meet technology objectives with a goal to identify and select science and technology projects that can be transitioned to joint acquisition programs.
