Broad Agency Announcement - Innovator In Residence Program

The Library is issuing BAA 030ADV26R0021 for contract‑based research and development projects that will produce publicly‑available digital works released under a CC0 1.0 universal license. Applicants must submit a three‑page English concept paper (cover page, vision statement, technical approach, audience, and past performance examples) and a two‑volume proposal: Volume 1 (technical) and Volume 2 (price). The technical proposal must detail the project’s steps, quality controls (accessibility, security, sustainability), a detailed project plan, and compliance with intellectual‑property requirements. The price proposal must follow the Detailed Budget Workbook (Attachment J‑1) and provide milestone‑based pricing for labor, travel, subcontractors, and other services. Travel activities must be listed individually with purpose statements that directly support project goals. Personnel salary and fringe‑benefit worksheets contain automated calculations that must be verified for accuracy. Only individual contractors or sole‑proprietorships may be awarded; a third‑party (e.g., a university) may act as a pay agent, but all payments are made by the Library upon acceptance of deliverables—not as reimbursements. Offers that fail to meet the Library’s deadlines or omit required information (e.g., travel justification, cover‑page data, or the CC0 licensing plan) will be deemed unresponsive and removed from consideration.
