Opportunity Overview
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is soliciting pre-proposals and full proposals for applied Biomedical Research and Diving Equipment Development with a focus on Diver Health, Safety, and Performance, Deep Diving Advancements, and Submarine Escape and Rescue. The program’s goals are presented in detail below. It is the intent that this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) be open for a two-year period from the date of publication. Specified dates are given in paragraph 2.a. below for submission of pre-proposals and full proposals to be awarded within Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 and 2027.
1. Primary Areas of Interests
Program objectives are to focus research on improving or developing diving equipment for rapid transition to fleet capabilities, and biomedical aspects of Diver Health, Safety, and Performance, Deep Diving, and Submarine Escape and Rescue to develop and/or improve procedures that increase Navy personnel safety and effectiveness. The typical project will be two years or less, although three-year projects will be considered. Contracts awarded as a result of these BAAs historically average around $300K or less cost annually. This information is provided for informational purposes only to provide a sense of scope desired by NAVSEA. This is not an obligatory value and pre-proposals/proposals valued above or below will be considered. However, budgetary constraints are a deciding factor in the selection for award.
a. Diving: This interest area is comprised of five task areas focused on items that impose limitations on diver capabilities, specifically: breathing gas supply; human performance; protection from the undersea environment; decompression; and tools, transportation and training. Focus areas for each task are:
Breathing Gas Supply (product...
