DLA Emergent IV Research and Development Program

The Department of Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is issuing Broad Agency Announcement BAA0001‑22 (Emergent IV) for research‑development projects that advance data integration, interoperability, and management frameworks, including Gen AI solutions, multi‑cloud deployment, API integration, and source‑code management. Proposals must include a cover sheet, executive summary, and the required technical sections—Overall Scientific and Technical Merit (Feasibility), Viability, Desirability, and Past Performance—each of which must address the 14 Service Scope Areas outlined in the Statement of Work (e.g., research strategy, development methodology, use‑case implementation, cybersecurity/DoD compliance, licensing, policy compliance, Gen AI methodology, scalability, and model maintenance). The technical plan must be written in active voice, detail tasks, methodology, and feasibility, and map directly to these scope areas. A key focus of the solicitation is an extensive literature review of next‑generation satellite‑based IoT networks with global roaming capability, and the design of cost‑effective, scalable, mobile, reusable pallet‑level tracking devices that can geolocate independently. Proposals must provide concrete use cases for construction‑material and weapon‑system movements outside the continental United States, demonstrate transition planning from R&D to DLA line operations, and meet all cybersecurity requirements (including FedRAMP). Estimated total cost, period of performance, and any related solicitations must be identified; page limits apply, with optional bibliography and technical papers excluded from the limit.
