  1. AFCEE BAA Program – Funding Opportunities Adria Bodour, Ph.D. Technology TransferAFCEE/TDV 26 July 2011

  2. AFCEE BAA ApproachOverarching Goals • Programs: Compliance Restoration, Pollution Prevention, Military Munitions Response, Restoration • Seeks high quality ideas that have been applied in limited capacity • Contract mechanism based on technical merit for dem/val of innovative solutions • Directly supports current AF needs – AFCEE/ER & Air Staff priorities • Goals: • Identify more technically advanced, efficient, effective, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions • Lead to accelerated closure of AF environmental sites, eliminate/reduce AF hazardous material use and environmental release • Serve future AF environmental needs

  3. BAA ApproachOverall Concept OFFEROR: Starts R&D & Pilot Scale of the Technology Funded From Other Capital: Offeror, Private Investor, SERDP, ESTCP, NSF, etc. > 90% Successful Technology Deployment OFFEROR: Proposes a BAA Proposal AF Awarded Demonstration Projects AFCEE Assessment Phase I AFCEE Assessment Phase II 50% Accepted 15% Accepted < 10% Unsuccessful Technology Deployment 85% Not Acceptable 50% Not Acceptable

  4. BAA Approach Phase I Solicitation (15 days) Announcement (30 days) Announcement via FedBizOps Addressed only one area of need Sub-categories given by Offeror’s (200 white papers/pre-proposals) Phase I - two page online proposal submittal SMEs determine if the proposals were an AF need (28 days) Phase I - Pre-screen Preparation and Pre-screen 4 - 5 months 3 technical reviewers from AFCEE/ER, AFCEE/TDV, SMEs, Noblis, and/or BAH (30 days) Phase I - Proposal Review Category evaluations and comments (21 days) Phase I - Compiling Reviews Non-selection letters and RFP selection letters (7 days) Phase I - Selection

  5. BAA ApproachPhase I Proposal Requirements • Electronic online form is comprised of eight (8) sections for a 2 page white papers: • Section fields 1-4 include short answer information on: • Organization, key personnel, teaming member(s), title, price ($), POP • Category dropdown menus on: Program, area of need addressed, matrix addressed, subject area addressed, & type of contaminant addressed • Section fields 5-8 includes more in-depth technical writing to enable reviewers to understand the nature and probability of successful application

  6. BAA ApproachPhase I Evaluation Criteria • Price • Is the price of the demonstration and validation or process reasonable? • Technical • Is there a level of innovation of the proposed technology/methodology or process? • Is the offeror capable of performing the proposed work? • Is there scientific and technical merit within the proposal? • Is there potential cost effectiveness of the resulting technology/methodology or process proposed? • Is the potential breadth of application to solve Air Force-wide problems and address Air Force needs?

  7. BAA Approach Phase II 3 technical reviewers from AFCEE/ER, AFCEE/TD, SMEs, Bases Noblis, and/or BAH (30 days/~20 proposals) Phase II - Proposal Review Category evaluations and comments (14 days) Phase II - Compiling Reviews AFCEE/ER, AFCEE/TD, & SMEs to select final proposals for awarding (7 days) Phase II - Evaluating Compiled Reviews 3 - 4 months Contracting starts negotiation with selected proposals and submits non-selection letters (14 days) Phase II - Selection Contracting and BAA project manager work on C contract packages for award (30 - 50 days/~8-10 awards) Awarding Proposals

  8. BAA ApproachPhase II Proposal Requirements

  9. BAA ApproachPhase II Evaluation Criteria EVALUATION FACTORS • Factor 1 Innovativeness/Relevance Aspect (Pass/Fail Rating) • Sub-Factor 1 - Innovativeness • Sub-Factor 2 - Relevance • Factor 2 Technical Aspect (Adjectival Rating) • Sub-Factor 1 – Merit • Sub-Factor 2 – Demonstration • Sub-Factor 3 – Benefits • Sub-Factor 4 – Transfer • Sub-Factor 5 – Qualifications • Factor 3 Price • Overall Relative Order of Importance: • FACTOR 1 is pass/fail and hence the most important. • FACTOR 2 is more important than FACTOR 3. • Within FACTOR 2, Sub-Factors 1 - 5 are of equal importance

  10. BAA ApproachPhase II Evaluation Criteria

  11. BAA Makeup (FY08-FY11) • 40 total contracts awarded • ER, ARRA, P2 funded amount: ~$22M • 37 ER projects ($14.8M) • 1 ARRA project ($5.8M) • 2 P2 projects ($0.8M) • ER projects range from $97K to $990K; average $377K per project with project length run 1 to 3 years; average 24 months per project

  12. BAA Makeup a ERA = Environmental Restoration Account, MMRP = Military Munitions Response Program, and CRP = Compliance Restoration Program b ARRA = American Recovery and Reinvestment Act c P2 = Pollution Prevention investment by A7CA to be determined in FY10 & FY11
