Note: This BAA shall be open from 1 January 2004 through 31 December 2004. While the government may choose to review Executive Summary?s, Proposal Abstracts and Proposals up to 31 December 2004, for practicality purposes, offerors choosing to submit ideas under this BAA are strongly encouraged and advised to submit Executive Summary?s no later than 1200, Local Time, Friday, 15 October 2004; Proposal Abstracts no later than 1200, Local Time, Friday, 29 October 2004; Full Proposals no later than 1200, Local Time, Friday, 26 November 2004. EVALUATION CRITERIA: Offerors choosing to respond to this BAA will be evaluated against the following five (5) criteria: (1) Technical Approach; (2) Potential Contribution and Relevance to the DARPA/ATO Mission; (3) Offeror?s Capabilities and Related Experience; (4) Approach/Ability to Technology Transition; and (5) Cost Realism. Technical factors (Technical Approach and Potential Contribution and Relevance to the DARPA/ATO Mission) are considered more important than non-technical factors (Offeror's Capabilities and Related Experience, Approach/Ability to Transition Technology, and Cost Realism). In accordance with FAR 35.016(e), the primary basis for selecting proposals for award shall be technical, importance to agency programs, and funds availability. The Government reserves the right to select for award all, some, or none of the proposals received in response to this BAA. All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's needs may submit a proposal that shall be considered by DARPA. 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 due to the impracticality of reserving discrete or severable areas of this research for exclusive competition among these entities. ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE: Offerors choosing to respond to this BAA must read the attached Proposer Information Pamphlet available.
