Broad Agency Announcement _ Trmc _ Te-St _ W900kk-22-R-0012

This Broad Agency Announcement's (BAA’s) purpose is to enable the Test & Evaluation/Science & Technology (T&E/S&T) Program to focus on Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E), Advanced Technology Development for technologies required to test and evaluate future warfighting capabilities. The T&E/S&T Program addresses test technology needs across the full spectrum of DoD Acquisition, including Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E), Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E), and Live-Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E). The T&E/S&T Program sponsors projects with Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) 3-6 and does not sponsor basic/fundamental or applied research. The T&E/S&T Program seeks technology that will result in DoD T&E being higher quality (better), more cost effective (cheaper), and more-timely (faster). The T&E/S&T Program will accept a high degree of technical risk to fund innovations that could result in high-payoff technological advancements. The T&E/S&T Program will consider novel, unproven solutions that are deemed too risky to be adopted in current DoD T&E approaches.

This BAA will remain active through 14 March 2037, and may be updated from time to time with annual updates generaly anticipated.

Prospective Offerors are advised to read the BAA document in its entirety prior to contacting the Government of information.

Specific Test Technology areas and Topics of Interest are noted in the individual Opportunity Notices (ONs) as described in the BAA Document entitled "TE-ST.BAA_W900KK-22-R-0012_ FINAL".
