FreeSol Broad Agency Announcement

The Space Systems Command (SSC) announces a two-step Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) (Solicitation FA8819-24-R-B003) seeking innovative space and cyber technology solutions to counter emerging space threats. This five-year (through 23 February 2029), $99M ceiling BAA involves submitting a concept paper (maximum 10 pages), followed by a full proposal for selected concepts. Proposals must address one of five areas of research interest (resiliency, Space Domain Awareness (SDA) improvements, counterspace capabilities, Battle Management Command Control and Communications (BMC3) efficiencies, and advanced exercises/testing). A Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3 or higher is desired. The government will utilize non-government advisors for evaluation, and offerors must disclose any Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI). Concept papers will be evaluated based on relevance, technical merit, affordability, schedule achievability, and intellectual property restrictions. The government will not reimburse concept paper or proposal preparation costs. Successful offerors may be awarded Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) or Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contracts; however, an invitation to submit a full proposal does not guarantee an award. Foreign-owned businesses may submit but must meet specific security clearance requirements. All submissions must be handled according to the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM).
