Aviation Research BAA 2025

The FAA Aviation Research 2025 Broad Agency Announcement (Solicitation 692M15‑25‑R‑00004) seeks white papers that advance airport pavement science and technology. Offerors may propose work to (i) improve pavement design, construction, or management using data from operational airports, (ii) develop innovative remote‑monitoring methods for pavement response, or (iii) address gaps in current engineering specifications and standards for emerging airborne systems. Proposals should evaluate pavement behavior under varied aircraft, environmental, and structural conditions, identify deficiencies in existing guidance, and produce criteria, mitigation strategies, recommendations, training material, or position papers that the FAA can use to update standards, guidance, and certification‑training resources. Multiple white papers per offeror are permitted, and innovative ideas beyond the listed topics are encouraged. White papers must be submitted electronically to 9‑ACT‑AAQ‑600‑BAA FAA.gov, reference the specific topic number and title, and remain valid for at least 180 days. The award decision will be based on scientific/technical merit, relevance to FAA mission, team competency, feasibility plan, and risk, evaluated through peer review and technical feasibility assessments—not against competing proposals in the same area. Proposals must include a program‑management section covering personnel, facilities, schedule, milestones, and deliverables; three‑page resumes for key staff; and a conflict‑of‑interest disclosure with a mitigation plan if applicable. Projects longer than three years will not be considered; funding is anticipated on an annual basis, subject to availability, and may be issued under an Other Transaction Agreement. Offerors are encouraged to contact the Contracting Officer via the acquisition mailbox to confirm interest and funding availability before preparing a white paper.
