BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) FOR CHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL RADIOLOGICAL NUCLEAR AND EXPLOSIVE (CBRNE) DEFENSE EFFORTS UNDER PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS, COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS, AND PROTOTYPES UNDER OTHER TRANSACTIONS AGREEMENTS

The U.S. Army DEVCOM Chemical Biological Center (CBC) is issuing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to solicit pre‑proposals for innovative basic and applied research concepts and prototype development in the CBRNE mission areas (e.g., sensor technologies, aerosol, biological/chemical point detection, early warning, collective and respiratory protection, decontamination, AI/ML, advanced materials, etc.). Proposals must describe the relevant technology, a high‑level work breakdown structure (WBS), the proposer’s qualifications, and an anticipated cost; pre‑proposals are limited to three pages and must be emailed to usarmy.apg.acc.mbx.devcom‑cbc‑baa@army.mil. Offers must focus on concepts rather than specific system or hardware development (per FAR 35.016), though a concept demonstration is permissible. If selected, the Offeror will submit a full proposal (electronic) limited to the prescribed page counts (cover page 1, technical section 20 pages, project‑management section 20 pages, etc.) that includes a detailed Statement of Work, WBS and WBS dictionary aligned with Agreement Line Items, a comprehensive technical approach, and required security clearance information. Cost proposals will follow the government‑provided template (or a read‑only Excel file for cost‑reimbursement offers). Awards will be made under R&D funding types 6.1, 6.2, 6.3a, contingent on fund availability, compliance with applicable human/animal research regulations, and adherence to DoD security and audit requirements.
