Additional Information on Eligibility: All responsible sources from academia and industry may submit proposals under this BAA. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals. However, no portion of this BAA will be set aside for HBCU and MI participation. Federally Funded research & Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. However, teaming arrangements between FFRDCs and eligible principal bidders are allowed so long as they are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC. Navy laboratories and warfare centers as well as other Department of Defense and civilian agency laboratories are also not eligible to receive awards under this BAA and should not directly submit either white papers or full proposals in response to this BAA. If any such organization is interested in one or more of the programs described herein, the organization should contact an appropriate ONR POC to discuss its area of interest. The various scientific divisions of ONR are identified at http://www.onr.navy.mil/. As with FFRDCs, these types of federal organizations may team with other responsible sources from academia and industry that are submitting proposals under this BAA. Teams are also encouraged and may submit proposals in any and all areas. However, Offerors must be willing to cooperate and exchange software, data and other information in an integrated program with other contractors, as well as with system integrators, selected by ONR. Some topics cover export controlled technologies. Research in these areas is limited to U.S. persons as defined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) 22 CFR 1201.1 et seq.
Grant Description: The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals to develop anddrive implementation of the solution architecture necessary to significantly reduce thetotal ownership cost (TOC) of the current and future Fleet. At the macro level, TOC canbe defined as the sum of all financial resources necessary to organize, equip, train,sustain, and operate military forces sufficient to meet national goals in compliance withall laws, all policies applicable to DoD, all standards in effect for readiness, safety, andquality of life, and all other official measures of performance for DoD and its components. Although the macro TOC definition bounds the problem, current tools cannot account for the complex interactions of all costs associated with a Naval weapons platform across its lifecycle at the micro level. The lack of quantitative and qualitative TOC data limits the Navy to objectively based predictions of future costs.************************************************************************************************************************************The FULL ANNOUNCEMENT is available on the Grants.gov website by scrolling to the top of the synopsis page and clicking on the "FULL ANNOUNCEMENT" box surrounded by the dotted line at the top of the page.
