Collaborations for Innovative Research on Aircraft Structure (CIRAS) Two-Step Open BAA with
CALLS
I. Background
The Aerospace Vehicles Division (RQV), Aerospace Systems Directorate (RQ), Air Force Research
Laboratory (AFRL), is soliciting research in aircraft structural design, analysis, and experimentation,
specifically in the following areas:
1. Innovative structural concepts including, but limited to, multi-functional structure, and
morphing structure;
2. Methods for generating and validating realistic load/environment spectra combining
maneuver loads, dynamic loads, and environmental factors (temperature, humidity, chemical,
etc.);
3. Advanced design, modeling and simulation methods to design, optimize, and subsequently
predict the performance of aircraft structure;
4. Methods for validating structural design, models, and simulations.
The goal of this research is to pioneer transformative aircraft structural technologies and develop the
aerospace structures research and development workforce experitise for government and industry.
The research will provide the warfighters with a decisive advantage and to strengthen the availability
of research and development (R&D) workforce expertise that will continue developing transformative
technologies within the government and industry.
II.Description of Effort
Technical topics of interest include fundamental research in the public domain concerning the following
research areas, including but not limited to, the following subtopics:
1. Innovative structural concepts for reducing weight and/or improving performance;
a. Embedding antennas, sensors, batteries, capacitors, or computers into load-bearing
structure;
b. Structures that change shape to effect control of aircraft maneuvers, aeroelastic
response, flutter, etc.;
c. Improved structural joining concepts;
d. Impact of advanced materials and manufacturing methods such as hierarchically
structured materials.
2. Generation of realistic load and environmental spectra;
a. Methods that consider maneuver, dynamic, and aeroelastic loads into a single load
spectrum over the life of an aircraft;
b. Creation of environmental spectra that describe thermal and chemical conditions and
can be time sequenced with mechanical load spectra.
3. Advanced structural design and analysis methods;
a. Design structure that efficiently satisfies multiple requirements and optimizes the

including the service life of an aircraft;
i. Aeroelastic and dynamic responses;
ii. Quasi-static and cyclic progressive damage, fail safe damage arrest, and impact
damage in composite structures;
iii. Fatigue crack initiation and growth, fail safe damage arrest, and buckling in
metallic structure;
iv. Effects of coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch on hybrid composite/metal
structure.
4. Advanced techniques for experimental validation of structural models and simulations;
a. Quantitative correlation of full field measurements with the results from structural
models;
b. Quantification of uncertainty in experimental data and model results, and the impact
on validation;
c. Innovative testing and measurement techniques.
III.Deliverables
See Contract Data Requirements List (CDRLs), Attachment 2 of the Broad Agency Announcement
(BAA) for possible delivery items. The attached CDRL document is an example for planning purposes
and each resulting award shall have its own tailored CDRL package.
IV.OPSEC
Operations Security (OPSEC) must be an integral part of our daily activities. As we maintain security
on our future technologies that are vital to national interest, we must recognize and prepare for the threat
poised against our technology. Department of Defense policies mandate a high degree of security
throughout the acquisition process. However, heightened security awareness and threat-based
countermeasures are particularly essential during the research and development phase when our
technology is most vulnerable to espionage, sabotage, or exploitation. It is the obligation of each
employee or persons involved on this agreement to be constantly aware of and strictly adhere to security
requirements designed to protect sensitive unclassified and other information and resources produced by
acquisition, research and development, and technological security efforts outlined in this SOO. The
recipient shall ensure employees receive training and follow appropriate Operations Security (OPSEC)
measures during the performance of the agreement.

Attch 5 - CIRAS - Assistance Instrument Instructions

Attachment 5
Supplemental Instructions for Assistance Instrument Proposals
I. SF 424 (R&R) Forms:
1. Cover Page: All proposals for assistance, whether submitted electronically or
in hard copy must include an SF 424 (R&R) (Application for Federal
Assistance) as the cover page.
2. STEM: To evaluate compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of
1972 {20 U.S.C. A§ 1681 Et. Seq.), the Department of Defense is collecting
certain demographic and career information to be able to assess the success
rates of women who are proposed for key roles in applications in STEM
disciplines, consequently a SF 424 Research & Related Senior/Key Person
Profile (Expanded) and a SF 424 Research & Related Personal Data must also
be submitted. The SF 424 (R&R) forms should be downloaded from the
“Application” box in the upper right hand corner of the synopsis page. Click
on “download” under the column “Instructions and Application.” Select
“Download Application Package” and complete the SF 424 (R&R) forms. For
the SF 424 Research and Related Senior/Key Person Profile (Expanded) form
the Degree Type and Degree Year fields will be used by DoD as the source
for career information. In addition to the required fields on the form,
applicants must complete these two fields for all individuals that are
identified as having the project role of PD/Pl or Co-PD/Pl. Additional
senior/key persons can be added by selecting the "Next Person" button.
The Research and Related Personal Data form will be used by DoD as the
source of demographic information, such as gender, race, ethnicity, and
disability information for the Project Director/Principal Investigator and all
other persons identified as Co-Project Director{s)/Co-Principal
lnvestigator(s). Each application must include this form with the name fields
of the Project Director/Principal Investigator and any Co-Project
Director(s)/Co-Principal lnvestigator(s) completed; however, provision of the
demographic information in the form is voluntary. If completing the form for
multiple individuals, each Co-Project Director/Co-Principal Investigator can
be added by selecting the "Next Person" button. The demographic
information, if provided, will be used for statistical purposes only and will not
be made available to merit reviewers. Applicants who do not wish to provide
some or all of the information should check or select the "Do not wish to
provide" option.

Attachment 5
3. For Institutions of Higher Education Applicants: The National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2019, Section 1286, pages 443-445, directs
the Secretary of Defense to support protection of intellectual property,
controlled information, key personnel, and information about critical
technologies relevant to national security; and to limit undue influence,
including through foreign talent programs, by countries to exploit United
States technology within the Department of Defense research, science and
technology, and innovation enterprise when an institution of higher
education is the applicant for defense research and engineering activities
under a grant, cooperative agreement, or in the case of a technology
investment agreement as a member of a consortium.
Applicants shall submit the information below for all key personnel (defined
as all individuals who contribute in a substantive, measurable, and
meaningful way to the scientific development or execution of the project) on
the SF 424 Senior/Key Person Profile (Expanded) form:
• A list of all current projects the individual is working on, in addition to
any future support the individual has applied to receive, regardless of
the source.
• Title and objectives of the other research projects.
• The percentage per year to be devoted to the other projects.
• The total amount of support the individual is receiving in connection to
each of the other research projects or will receive if other proposals
are awarded.
• Name and address of the agencies and/or other parties supporting the
other research projects.
• Period of performance for the other research projects.
This information will be used to support protection of intellectual property,
controlled information, key personnel, and information about critical
technologies relevant to national security and will be used to limit undue
influence, including foreign talent programs, by countries that desire to
exploit United States' technology within the DoD research, science and
technology, and innovation enterprise.
Failure to submit this information may cause the proposal to be returned
without further review, and DoD reserves the right to request further details
from an applicant before making a final determination on funding the effort.
This information does not count towards the overall proposal page limits in
the BAA Section IV 2.c.i.
II. System Award Management: To apply for grants and other funding
opportunities the applicant entity must be registered in the System for Award
Management (SAM). Proposals will not be accepted through Grants.gov or other
methods unless the entity is registered in SAM.
Page 2 of 7

---

Attachment 5
III. Certifications:
1. SAM: SAM is now the central repository for common Government-wide
financial assistance certifications and representations. Registration in SAM
now includes the acceptance of Certifications and Assurances. SAM may be
accessed at: https://beta.sam.gov. The Financial Assistance Certifications
Report is an attestation that the entity will abide by the requirements of the
various laws and regulations; therefore, as applicable, you are still required
to submit any documentation, including the SF LLL Disclosure of Lobbying
Activities (if applicable), and informing DoD of unpaid delinquent tax liability
or a felony conviction under any Federal law. (Note: Grant offices should
include any other requirements, such as IRB certifications.)
1. Note to Agreements/Grants Officer: In the rare event that additional
certification(s) or representation(s) are required (beyond those identified in
SAM) due to law or regulations, specific DoD program needs, or as necessary
to conduct business, you may add them as warranted by adding them as an
attachment to the funding opportunity. For example, this will likely be
necessary for Title III programs. If doing so, add the following statement
here, or preface the Certification(s) or Representation(s) Attachment with the
following statement: “This program contains unique certifications and
representations not identified in the SAM repository and are included as an
attachment to this funding opportunity. By checking “I Agree” on the SF 424
Block 21 or the SF 424 (R&R) block 17 you agree to abide by the following
statement: By signing this application, I certify (1) to the statements
contained in the list of certifications and (2) that the statements herein are
true, complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I also provide the
required assurances and agree to comply with any resulting terms if I accept
an award. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements or
claims may subject me to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties. (U.S.
Code, Title 218, Section 1001)”
IV. Grants.gov: If you are submitting an assistance instrument proposal, you may
do so electronically through Grants.gov, in addition to submitting in accordance
with BAA Section IV Paragraph 2.a.iv., but you are not required to submit via
Grants.gov. (The CO may request an email from the offeror be submitted
notifying the Contracting POC when a proposal is submitted electronically via
Grants.gov.) The application submission and receipt instructions follow below.
Read the following instructions carefully and completely:
1. Electronic Delivery
DoD is participating in the Grants.gov initiative to provide the grant
community with a single site to find and apply for grant funding
opportunities. Applicants may submit their applications online through
Grants.gov in accordance with the BAA.
2. How to Register to Apply through Grants.gov
Page 3 of 7

---

Attachment 5
a. Instructions: Read the instructions below about registering to apply for
funds under this BAA. Applicants should read the registration instructions
carefully and prepare the information requested before beginning the
registration process. Reviewing and assembling the required information
before beginning the registration process will alleviate last-minute
searches for required information.
The registration process can take up to four weeks to complete.
Therefore, registration should be done in sufficient time to ensure it does
not impact your ability to meet required application submission deadlines.
If individual applicants are eligible to apply for this grant funding
opportunity, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/registration.html
Organization applicants can find complete instructions here:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-
registration.html
(1) Obtain a DUNS Number: All entities applying for funding, including
renewal funding, must have a Data Universal Numbering System
(DUNS) number from Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). Applicants must enter
the DUNS number in the data entry field labeled "Organizational
DUNS" on the SF-424 form.
For more detailed instructions for obtaining a DUNS number, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-
registration/step-1-obtain-duns-number.html
(2) Register with SAM: In addition to having a DUNS number,
organizations applying online through Grants.gov (or otherwise) must
register with the System for Award Management (SAM).
For more detailed instructions for registering with SAM, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-
registration/step-2-register-with-sam.html
(3) Create a Grants.gov Account: The next step in the registration process
is to create an account with Grants.gov. Applicants must know their
organization's DUNS number to complete this process. Completing this
process automatically triggers an email request for applicant roles to
the organization's E-Business Point of Contact (EBiz POC) for review.
The EBiz POC is a representative from your organization who is the
contact listed for SAM. To apply for grants on behalf of your
organization, you will need the Authorized Organizational
Representative (AOR) role.
Page 4 of 7

---

Attachment 5
For more detailed instructions about creating a profile on Grants.gov,
refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/registration/add-
profile.html
(4) Authorize Grants.gov Roles: After creating an account on Grants.gov,
the EBiz POC receives an email notifying them of your registration and
request for roles. The EBiz POC will then log in to Grants.gov and
authorize the appropriate roles, which may include the AOR role,
thereby giving you permission to complete and submit applications on
behalf of the organization. You will be able to submit your application
online any time after you have been approved as an AOR.
b. Electronic Signature: When applications are submitted through
Grants.gov, the name of the organization's AOR that submitted the
application is inserted into the signature line of the application, serving as
the electronic signature. The EBiz POC must authorize individuals who are
able to make legally binding commitments on behalf of the organization
as an AOR; this step is often missed and it is crucial for valid and
timely submissions.
3. How to Submit an Application via Grants.gov
Grants.gov applicants can apply online using Workspace. Workspace is a
shared, online environment where members of a grant team may
simultaneously access and edit different webforms within an application. For
each BAA, you can create individual instances of a workspace.
Below is an overview of applying on Grants.gov. For access to complete
instructions on how to apply for opportunities, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/apply-for-grants.html
a. Create a Workspace: Creating a workspace allows you to complete it
online and route it through your organization for review before
submitting.
b. Complete a Workspace: Add participants to the workspace, complete all
the required forms, and check for errors before submission.
(1) Adobe Reader: If you decide not to apply by filling out webforms you
can download individual PDF forms in Workspace so that they will
appear similar to other Standard forms. The individual PDF forms can
be downloaded and saved to your local device storage, network
drive(s), or external drives, then accessed through Adobe Reader.
NOTE: Visit the Adobe Software Compatibility page on Grants.gov to
download the appropriate version of the software at:
Page 5 of 7

Attachment 5
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/adobe-software-
compatibility.html
(2) Mandatory Fields in Forms: In the forms, you will note fields marked
with an asterisk and a different background color. These fields are
mandatory fields that must be completed to successfully submit your
application.
(3) Complete SF-424 Fields First: The forms are designed to fill in
common required fields across other forms, such as the applicant
name, address, and DUNS number. To trigger this feature, an
applicant must complete the SF-424 information first. Once it is
completed, the information will transfer to the other forms.
c. Submit an Application via Workspace: An application may be submitted
through workspace by clicking the Sign and Submit button on the Manage
Workspace page, under the Forms tab. Grants.gov recommends
submitting your application package at least 24-48 hours prior to the
close date to provide you with time to correct any potential technical
issues that may disrupt the application submission.
d. Track an Application via Workspace: After successfully submitting a
workspace package, a Grants.gov Tracking Number (GRANTXXXXXXXX) is
automatically assigned to the package. The number will be listed on the
Confirmation page that is generated after submission.
For additional training resources, including video tutorials, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/applicant-training.html
Applicant Support: Grants.gov provides applicants 24/7 support via the toll-
free number 1-800-518-4726 and email at support@grants.gov. For
questions related to the specific grant opportunity, contact the number listed
in the application package of the grant you are applying for.
If you are experiencing difficulties with your submission, it is best to call the
Grants.gov Support Center and get a ticket number. The Support Center
ticket number will assist the DoD with tracking your issue and understanding
background information on the issue.
4. Timely Receipt Requirements and Proof of Timely Submission
a. Online Submission. All applications must be received by the due date
established for each program. Proof of timely submission is automatically
recorded by Grants.gov. An electronic date/time stamp is generated
within the system when the application is successfully received by
Grants.gov. The applicant AOR will receive an acknowledgement of receipt
and a tracking number (GRANTXXXXXXXX) from Grants.gov with the
successful transmission of their application. Applicant AORs will also
Page 6 of 7

---

Attachment 5
receive the official date/time stamp and Grants.gov Tracking number in
an email serving as proof of their timely submission.
When the application is successfully retrieved from Grants.gov, and the
download of submissions is acknowledged, Grants.gov will provide an
electronic acknowledgment of receipt of the application to the email
address of the applicant with the AOR role. Again, proof of timely
submission shall be the official date and time that Grants.gov receives
your application. Applications received by Grants.gov after the established
due date for the program will be considered late and will not be
considered for funding.
Applicants using slow internet, such as dial-up connections, should be
aware that transmission can take some time before Grants.gov receives
your application. Again, Grants.gov will provide either an error or a
successfully received transmission in the form of an email sent to the
applicant with the AOR role. The Grants.gov Support Center reports that
some applicants end the transmission because they think that nothing is
occurring during the transmission process. Please be patient and give the
system time to process the application.
V. Assistance Opportunity: Go to https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search-
grants.html to find the opportunity. Instructions are provided at

Attachment 7 debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency; (B) Have [ ] have not [ ], within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks “have”, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and (C) Are [ ] are not [ ] presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision; and (D) Have [ ] have not [ ] within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds the threshold at 9.104-5(a)(2) for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. (2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code). (ii) The Offeror has [ ] has not [ ], within a three-year period preceding this Page 13 of 37

(2) “Principal,” for the purposes of this certification, means an officer; director; owner; partner; or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions). This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States and the Making of a False, Fictitious, or Fraudulent Certification May Render the Maker Subject to Prosecution Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States Code. (b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. (c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror non-responsible. (d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. (e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default. 52.209-07 INFORMATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (OCT 2018) (a) Definitions.

(b) Certification. [Offeror shall check either (1) or (2).] __ (1) The Offeror certifies that– (i) It does not engage and has not engaged in any activity that contributed to or was a significant factor in the President's or Secretary of State's determination that a foreign country is in violation of its obligations undertaken in any arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. The determinations are described in the most recent unclassified annual report provided to Congress pursuant to section 403 of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2593a). The report is available at https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under- secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and- compliance/; and (ii) No entity owned or controlled by the Offeror has engaged in any activity that contributed to or was a significant factor in the President's or Secretary of State's determination that a foreign country is in violation of its obligations undertaken in any arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. The determinations are described in the most recent unclassified annual report provided to Congress pursuant to section 403 of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2593a). The report is available at https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under- secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and- compliance/; or __ (2) The Offeror is providing separate information with its offer in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of this provision. (c) Procedures for reviewing the annual unclassified report (see paragraph (b)(1) of this provision). For clarity, references to the report in this section refer to the entirety of the annual unclassified report, including any separate reports that are incorporated by reference into the annual unclassified report. (1) Check the table of contents of the annual unclassified report and the country section headings of the reports incorporated by reference to identify the foreign countries listed there. Determine whether the Offeror or any person owned or controlled by the Offeror may have engaged in any activity related to one or more of such foreign countries. Page 16 of 37

• Section K- Representations and Certifications
Attachment 7 (2) If there may have been such activity, review all findings in the report associated with those foreign countries to determine whether or not each such foreign country was determined to be in violation of its obligations undertaken in an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or to be not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. For clarity, in the annual report an explicit certification of non- compliance is equivalent to a determination of violation. However, the following statements in the annual report are not equivalent to a determination of violation: (i) An inability to certify compliance. (ii) An inability to conclude compliance. (iii) A statement about compliance concerns. (3) If so, determine whether the Offeror or any person owned or controlled by the Offeror has engaged in any activity that contributed to or is a significant factor in the determination in the report that one or more of these foreign countries is in violation of its obligations undertaken in an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. Review the narrative for any such findings reflecting a determination of violation or non-adherence related to those foreign countries in the report, including the finding itself, and to the extent necessary, the conduct giving rise to the compliance or adherence concerns, the analysis of compliance or adherence concerns, and efforts to resolve compliance or adherence concerns. (4) The Offeror may submit any questions with regard to this report by email to NDAA1290Cert@state.gov. To the extent feasible, the Department of State will respond to such email inquiries within 3 business days. (d) Do not submit an offer unless— (1) A certification is provided in paragraph (b)(1) of this provision and submitted with the offer; or (2) In accordance with paragraph (b)(2) of this provision, the Offeror provides with its offer information that the President of the United States has (i) Waived application under 22 U.S.C. 2593e(d) or (e); or (ii) Determined under 22 U.S.C. 2593e(g)(2) that the entity has ceased all activities for which measures were imposed under 22 U.S.C. 2593e(b). (e) Remedies. The certification in paragraph (b)(1) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly submitted a false certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, such as suspension or debarment, the Contracting Officer may terminate any contract resulting from the false certification.

OTHER SOLICITATION PROVISIONS IN FULL TEXT
L011 APPLICABLE CLAUSES (APR 2013)
The appropriate clauses to be included in the contract will be determined based on Offeror's response to
the Section K representations.
(a) Patent Rights. If the Offeror is a small business firm or nonprofit organization, then FAR
52.227-11, PATENT RIGHTS -- OWNERSHIP BY THE CONTRACTOR, and DFARS 252.227-7039,
PATENTS - REPORTING OF SUBJECT INVENTIONS will be used in Section I. Otherwise, DFARS

certification titled Cost Accounting Standards Notices and Certification (National Defense).
(c) State of New Mexico. Section I of this solicitation may contain the clause at FAR 52.229-10,
STATE OF NEW MEXICO GROSS RECEIPTS AND COMPENSATING TAX. The resultant contract will
contain this clause only if performance is in whole or in part within the State of New Mexico and the
contract directs or authorizes the contractor to acquire property as a direct cost under the contract.
(d) Educational institutions and nonprofit organizations. If a cost-reimbursement type contract is
contemplated and the offeror is an educational institution, paragraph (a) of the clause at FAR 52.216-7,
Allowable Cost and Payment shall be altered in the resultant contract to refer to FAR Subpart 31.3 for
determining allowable costs. Similarly, if the offeror is a nonprofit organization (other than an educational

122), paragraph (a) of the clause at FAR 52.216-7 shall be altered to refer to FAR Subpart 31.7. In

L021 SMALL BUSINESS AND SMALL DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS (OCT 2005)
FAR 52.219-9 AND DFARS 252.219-7003 are included in this solicitation and will be
incorporated into any resultant contract. A subcontracting plan is required from all
offerors other than small business concerns for proposals exceeding $500,000 which
contain subcontracting opportunities. The plan shall be submitted with the initial
proposal and will be concurrently negotiated. If a cost proposal is required by this
solicitation, it must relate to, and substantiate, the submissions under FAR 52.219-
9(d). Also substantiate the reasonableness of any additional costs to be expended in
pursuit of the small disadvantaged business goal. The offeror's submission must
provide sufficient information to support the contracting officer's review of the
subcontracting plan to determine: (a) if it is acceptable (otherwise an offeror will be
ineligible to receive the contract award); and (b) if at the time of contract completion
any small disadvantaged business subcontracting incentive or award fee has been
earned. Contractors who have been selected for participation in the DoD test program
authorized by Section 834 of Public Law 101-189 and who have approved
comprehensive subcontracting plans are not required to negotiate subcontracting
plans on an individual contract basis. If the offeror has an approved comprehensive
subcontracting plan under the DoD test program, the offeror shall provide a copy of its
approved comprehensive subcontracting plan in lieu of the individual plan required
herein. Any contract resulting from this solicitation which includes a comprehensive
subcontracting plan will include the clause at 252.219-7004, Small Business and Small
Disadvantaged Business Subcontracting Plan (Test Program), in lieu of the clauses at
FAR 52.219-9, and DFARS 252.219-7003.

(a) All technical data and identified administrative reports contractually
required shall be supplied in accordance with attached CDRL or DD Form 1423.

substitutions or eliminations of the stated requirements. Substantiate each
recommendation and describe the projected savings that would result by accepting
the alternative offer.

If performance under this contract will require access to Air Force computer systems
(stand alone or networked), compliance with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 33-119 and Air
Force Instruction (AFI) 33-200 is mandatory. It should be noted that such access
requires, at a minimum, a National Agency Check or Entrance National Agency Check
in accordance with DoD 5200.2-R, Personal Security Program.
Offerors should make themselves familiar with local procedures for processing such
requirements, and be prepared to be in compliance on the first day of contract
performance. Failure to comply with this requirement may be considered a failure to
perform.

(3) NCS Documentation: Unlimited Rights desired, will accept GPR
(4) Commercial Computer Software Rights: Customary License
The Air Force Research Laboratory is engaged in the discovery,
development, and integration of warfighting technologies for our air,
space, and cyberspace forces. As such, rights in noncommercial technical
data and NCS developed or delivered under this contract are of significant
concern to the Government. The Government will therefore evaluate any
restrictions on the use of noncommercial technical data, NCS, and NCS
documentation which could result in transition difficulty or less-than full
and open competition for subsequent development of this technology.
In accordance with DFARS 252.227-7013(b)(1) and 252.227-7014(b)(1),
the Government shall receive unlimited rights in all noncommercial

Government funds.
In accordance with DFARS 252.227-7013(b)(2) and DFARS 252.227-
7014(b)(2), the Government shall receive Government Purpose Rights in
all noncommercial technical data and computer software developed with
mixed funding. “Developed with mixed funding” means, “development
was accomplished partially with costs charged to indirect cost pools
and/or costs not allocated to a government contract, and partially with
costs charged directly to a government contract. Offerors that propose
delivery of noncommercial technical data, NCS, or NCS documentation
subject to Government Purpose Rights should fully explain how a portion
of the data was developed at private expense. Specifically, offerors must
explain what noncommercial technical data, NCS, or NCS documentation
developed with costs charged to indirect cost pools and/or costs not
allocated to a Government contract will be incorporated, how the
incorporation will benefit the program, and address whether those
portions or processes are segregable.
Offerors that propose delivery of noncommercial technical data with
Limited Rights, NCS with Restricted Rights, or NCS documentation with
Limited Rights will be considered. Proposals should fully explain what
noncommercial technical data, NCS, or NCS documentation developed
with costs charged to indirect cost pools and/or costs not allocated to a
Government contract will be incorporated and how the incorporation will
benefit the program and whether those portions or processes are
segregable.

in Noncommercial Computer Software and Noncommercial Computer
Software Documentation.
THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE (COMMERCIAL AND NONCOMMERCIAL):
If any such software, noncommercial or commercial, is not reasonably
identifiable at proposal submission, it must still be approved by the
contracting officer prior to incorporation. This obligation to obtain pre-
approval by the contracting officer, as described above, continues
throughout contract administration.
Noncommercial Computer Software:
DFARS 252.227-7014(d) describes requirements for incorporation of third
party noncommercial copyrighted computer software and computer
software documentation and is incorporated as follows:
The Contractor shall not, without the written approval of the
Contracting Officer, incorporate any copyrighted computer software or
computer software documentation in the software or documentation to
be delivered under this contract unless the Contractor is the copyright
owner or has obtained for the Government the license rights necessary
to perfect a license or licenses in the deliverable software or
documentation of the appropriate scope set forth in DFARS 252.227-

For commercial computer software, the Government will neither accept nor
execute a DD Form 250 for such software deliverables until the Contractor
obtains from all third party software suppliers and/or vendors (Licensor)
licenses for any commercial computer software to be delivered that are
consistent with Federal Statutes, Federal Case Law, and Federal
Regulations.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of terms and conditions which are
inconsistent with Federal law and shall not be included in the commercial
computer software license agreement between the Licensor and the
Government:
1. The license shall not subject the Government to a contingent
liability or a liability that is indefinite or indeterminate, including but
not limited to: indemnification clauses, unilateral price increases, the
right to attorney fees, automatic assessment of charges, or automatic
renewal provisions. These provisions constitute obligations in advance
or in excess of an appropriation and violate the Anti-Deficiency Act.
2. The license shall be governed by Federal Statutes, Federal Case
Law, and Federal Regulations, and shall not be subject to the laws or
jurisdiction of any municipality, state, or foreign country. The license
shall not bind the Government to litigation in a particular forum or
venue or require the Government to participate in arbitration.
3. The license shall not include non-substitution language that would
preclude or limit the Government from using another vendor/reseller
and/or product to fulfill Government requirements.
4. The Licensor shall not have the authority to unilaterally terminate
the license. All remedies available shall be consistent with the
Disputes and Termination Clauses in the underlying basic contract.
5. The Licensor shall not have the right to enter the premise or
monitor Government networks for the purpose of auditing the use of
the license.
6. The Licensor shall not have the authority to control or otherwise
influence any litigation between a third party and the Government. The
United States Department of Justice has the sole authority to
represent the Government in all litigation matters.
7. The Licensor shall not use the fact that the Government is using the
Licensor's products in any notification or advertisement to the public
(e.g., no publicity rights permitted).
8. The license shall not require automatic updates or give Licensor the
authority to unilaterally replace the software.
[IF APPLICABLE] Additionally, the Contractor may be required to
obtain licenses that comply with the following terms and
conditions, based on the Government’s needs:
1. [IF APPLICABLE] The license shall not disclaim all warranties through
use of an “as is” provision.
2. [IF APPLICABLE] The license shall neither restrict the Government

III. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Offeror: This is an unrestricted solicitation. Small businesses are
encouraged to propose.
2. Cost Sharing or Matching: Cost Sharing is not required, but is allowed.
3. Federally Funded Research and Development Centers: The following
guidance is provided for Federally Funded Research and Development
Centers (FFRDCs) contemplating submitting a proposal, as either a prime or

any non-FFRDC concern in response to a Federal agency request for proposal
for other than the operation of an FFRDC (with exceptions stated in DFARS
235.017-1(c)(4)). There is no regulation prohibiting an FFRDC from
responding to a solicitation. However, the FFRDC’s sponsoring agency must
first make a determination that the effort being proposed falls within the
purpose, mission, general scope of effort, or special competency of the
FFRDC, and that determination must be included in the FFRDC’s proposal. In
addition, AFRL must make a determination that the work proposed would not
place the FFRDC in direct competition with domestic private industry. Only
after these determinations are made, would a determination be made
concerning the FFRDC’s eligibility to receive an award.
4. Government Agencies: If a Government agency is interested in
performing work, contact the Program Manager identified in the BAA. If those
discussions result in a mutual interest to pursue your agency's participation,
the effort will be pursued independent of this announcement.
5. Other:
a. Foreign Participation: If a foreign participant is identified, the offeror will
be required to submit their country of origin and a detailed description of
the information that is to be provided to the foreign participant at each
stage of the contract and that information will be sent to our Foreign
Disclosure Office for determination of release.

V. White Paper / Proposal Review Information
1. FIRST STEP – White Paper Peer or Scientific Review Criteria: The
Government will review White Papers to determine which of them have the
potential to best meet the Air Force’s needs based on the following criteria,
which are listed in equal order of importance:
a. Is the technical approach consistent with the technologies listed in the
BAA?
b. Is the research of interest to the Government?
c. Is appropriate funding available?
Page 17 of 21

---

2. SECOND STEP – Proposal Peer or Scientific Review Criteria: Proposals
will be reviewed against the criteria listed below. The technical aspect, which
is ranked as the first order of priority, shall be reviewed based on the
following criteria that are of equal order of importance.
a. Technical:
(1) Unique and innovative approach proposed to accomplish the
technical objectives. New and creative solutions and/or advances
in knowledge, understanding, technology, and the state of the
art.
(2) The offeror’s understanding of the scope of the technical effort.
(3) Soundness of the offeror’s technical approach.
(4) The potential for AFRL to transition the research and development
deliverables to future Government needs. Any proposed
restrictions on technical data or computer software will be
considered.
(5) Availability of qualified technical personnel and their experience
with the applicable technologies.
(6) Availability, from any source, of necessary research, test,
laboratory, or shop facilities.
b. Cost/Price: The cost/price criterion includes the realism of the
proposed cost. Cost/Price is a substantial factor, but ranked as the
second order of priority. (If an offeror proposes the use of GFP other
than any GFP identified in this BAA, and that proposed GFP provides
the offeror an unfair competitive advantage, then FAR 45.202 requires
rental equivalent be applied to the Cost Factor for evaluation purposes
only).
3. SECOND STEP / PROPOSAL - Review and Selection Process
a. Categories: Based on the Peer or Scientific Review, proposals will be
categorized as Selectable or Not Selectable (see definitions below).
The selection of one or more sources for award will be based on the
Peer or Scientific Review, as well as importance to agency programs
and funding availability.
(1) Selectable: Proposals are recommended for acceptance if
sufficient funding is available
(2) Not Selectable: Even if sufficient funding existed, the proposal
should not be funded.
Note: The Government reserves the right to award some, all, or none
of proposals. When the Government elects to award only a part of a
Page 18 of 21

---

proposal, the selected part may be categorized as Selectable, though
the proposal as a whole may not merit such a categorization.
b. No other criteria will be used.
c. Prior to award of a potentially successful offer, the Contracting Officer
will make a determination regarding price reasonableness.
VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices: Offerors will be notified whether their proposal is
recommended for award on or about 45 calendar days after submission of
their proposal. The notification is not to be construed to mean that any
contract or assistance award is assured, as availability of funds and
successful negotiations are prerequisites to any award.

Therefore, proposals must clearly break out the unit acquisition cost for any
deliverable items. See DFARS 211.274-3, Policy for Valuation, for more
information. (Per DoD, “fully burdened unit costs” to the Government would
include all direct, indirect, G&A costs, and an appropriate portion of fee). For
more information, see the following website:
http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/uid/index.html.
5. Pre-Award Clearance: Pursuant to FAR 22.805, a pre-award clearance
must be obtained from the U.S. Department Of Labor, Employment
Standards Administration, Office Of Federal Contract Compliance Program’s

existing plan that that the offeror uses as a matter of course or plan
developed specifically for this acquisition. The purpose of requesting the
plan is to assess the offeror’s capacity for protection of the
Government’s S&T. Failure to demonstrate a plan adequate to meet the
needs of the requirements, as determined by the Government in its sole
discretion, may be grounds for considering the proposal un-awardable.
Government Procedures
The Government will review the submitted S&T protection
documentation only for those proposals categorized as Selectable and
selected for funding and negotiations.
S&T Protection Initial Risk Review:
• Personnel Risk Assessment: The Government will review non-
government research key/senior performers identified by the offeror on
the initial SF 424 for workload conflicts and conflicts of interest.
• Initial Institution S&T Protection Program Review: The Government
will review the offeror’s security program information submitted in
accordance with paragraph 2 of this section (above) to identify any
potential risks and ensure appropriate measures are in place to protect
S&T information.
The Government may require the offeror to submit additional
information and/or a mitigation plan for any identified S&T protection
risks. If the Government determines the offeror failed to provide
adequate additional information; or an acceptable mitigation plan; or it
is determined the offeror’s S&T protection approach is high risk and
does not provide adequate protection of S&T information, the
Government may reject the proposal and withdraw it from consideration
for award.
S&T Protection Annual Risk Review: In accordance with Attachment
(SOW Supplemental Requirements), the Contractor shall provide an SF
424 with the following information:

The Air Force Research Laboratory is engaged in the discovery,
development, and integration of warfighting technologies for our air,
space, and cyberspace forces. As such, rights in noncommercial technical
data and NCS developed or delivered under this contract are of significant
concern to the Government. The Government will therefore evaluate any
restrictions on the use of noncommercial technical data, NCS, and NCS
documentation which could result in transition difficulty or less-than full
and open competition for subsequent development of this technology.
In accordance with DFARS 252.227-7013(b)(1) and 252.227-7014(b)(1),
the Government shall receive unlimited rights in all noncommercial
technical data and computer software developed exclusively with
Government funds.
In accordance with DFARS 252.227-7013(b)(2) and DFARS 252.227-
7014(b)(2), the Government shall receive Government Purpose Rights in
all noncommercial technical data and computer software developed with
mixed funding. “Developed with mixed funding” means, “development
was accomplished partially with costs charged to indirect cost pools
and/or costs not allocated to a government contract, and partially with
costs charged directly to a government contract. Offerors that propose
delivery of noncommercial technical data, NCS, or NCS documentation
subject to Government Purpose Rights should fully explain how a portion
of the data was developed at private expense. Specifically, offerors must
explain what noncommercial technical data, NCS, or NCS documentation
Page 6 of 22

---

developed with costs charged to indirect cost pools and/or costs not
allocated to a Government contract will be incorporated, how the
incorporation will benefit the program, and address whether those
portions or processes are segregable.
Offerors that propose delivery of noncommercial technical data with
Limited Rights, NCS with Restricted Rights, or NCS documentation with
Limited Rights will be considered. Proposals should fully explain what
noncommercial technical data, NCS, or NCS documentation developed
with costs charged to indirect cost pools and/or costs not allocated to a
Government contract will be incorporated and how the incorporation will
benefit the program and whether those portions or processes are
segregable. Offerors shall include the data rights assertions as required
by DFARS 252.227-7017, Identification and Assertion of Restrictions on
the Government’s Use, Release, or Disclosure of Technical Data or
Computer Software. The assertions list is included in Section K and due
at time of proposals. Assertions must be completed with specificity. Each
assertion must identify the technical data or computer software to be
delivered and the associated item, component, or process developed
exclusively or partially at private expense to which it pertains.
Nonconforming data rights assertion lists will not be accepted until
submitted in accordance with DFARS 252.227-7017.
Terms used in this section are defined in the clauses at 252.227-7013,
Rights in Technical Data-Noncommercial Items, and 252.227-7014, Rights
in Noncommercial Computer Software and Noncommercial Computer
Software Documentation.
THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE (COMMERCIAL AND NONCOMMERCIAL):
If any such software, noncommercial or commercial, is not reasonably
identifiable at proposal submission, it must still be approved by the
contracting officer prior to incorporation. This obligation to obtain pre-
approval by the contracting officer, as described above, continues
throughout contract administration.
Noncommercial Computer Software:
DFARS 252.227-7014(d) describes requirements for incorporation of third
party noncommercial copyrighted computer software and computer
software documentation and is incorporated as follows:
The Contractor shall not, without the written approval of the
Contracting Officer, incorporate any copyrighted computer software or
computer software documentation in the software or documentation to
be delivered under this contract unless the Contractor is the copyright
owner or has obtained for the Government the license rights necessary
to perfect a license or licenses in the deliverable software or
documentation of the appropriate scope set forth in DFARS 252.227-
7014(b), and prior to delivery of such—
(1) Computer software, has provided a statement of the license
Page 7 of 22

rights obtained in a form acceptable to the Contracting Officer;
or
(2) Computer software documentation, has affixed to the
transmittal document a statement of the license rights obtained.
In addition, all noncommercial computer software will receive the
appropriate level rights set forth in DFARS 252-7014(b), which could
include: Unlimited rights, GPR, Restricted Rights, or specifically negotiated
license.
Commercial Computer Software: For commercial computer software, the
Government will neither accept nor execute a DD Form 250 for such software
deliverables until the Contractor obtains from all third party software suppliers
and/or vendors (Licensor) licenses for any commercial computer software to be
delivered that are consistent with Federal Statutes, Federal Case Law, and
Federal Regulations.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of terms and conditions which are
inconsistent with Federal law and shall not be included in the commercial
computer software license agreement between the Licensor and the
Government:
1. The license shall not subject the Government to a contingent
liability or a liability that is indefinite or indeterminate, including but
not limited to: indemnification clauses, unilateral price increases, the
right to attorney fees, automatic assessment of charges, or automatic
renewal provisions. These provisions constitute obligations in advance
or in excess of an appropriation and violate the Anti-Deficiency Act.
2. The license shall be governed by Federal Statutes, Federal Case
Law, and Federal Regulations, and shall not be subject to the laws or
jurisdiction of any municipality, state, or foreign country. The license
shall not bind the Government to litigation in a particular forum or
venue or require the Government to participate in arbitration.
3. The license shall not include non-substitution language that would
preclude or limit the Government from using another vendor/reseller
and/or product to fulfill Government requirements.
4. The Licensor shall not have the authority to unilaterally terminate
the license. All remedies available shall be consistent with the
Disputes and Termination Clauses in the underlying basic contract.
5. The Licensor shall not have the right to enter the premise or
monitor Government networks for the purpose of auditing the use of
the license.
6. The Licensor shall not have the authority to control or otherwise
influence any litigation between a third party and the Government. The
United States Department of Justice has the sole authority to
represent the Government in all litigation matters.
7. The Licensor shall not use the fact that the Government is using the
Licensor's products in any notification or advertisement to the public
(e.g., no publicity rights permitted).
8. The license shall not require automatic updates or give Licensor the
authority to unilaterally replace the software.

[IF APPLICABLE] Additionally, the Contractor may be required to
obtain licenses that comply with the following terms and
conditions, based on the Government’s needs:
1. [IF APPLICABLE] The license shall not disclaim all warranties through
use of an “as is” provision.
2. [IF APPLICABLE] The license shall neither restrict the Government
from using the product at various sites nor limit use of the product by
various Government agencies or third parties performing work on

[The license shall authorize the Government to use the software at the
following sites: [list].
4. [IF APPLICABLE] The license shall not restrict the Government from
copying or embedding elements of accessible code into other
applications (e.g., nesting code, derivative works).
The Contractor may obtain agreement from the Licensor to insert the
clause below in its respective software licenses intended to be transferred
to the Government:
“In the event that any of the provisions of the [Software License] are
determined to be inconsistent with Federal law or do not otherwise
satisfy the Government's needs, the parties to the [Software License]
hereby agree that such provisions shall be null and void as they
pertain to the Government. Specifically, the following sections are
hereby deleted from the [Software License] [and/or amended as
indicated below]:
[Section X: deleted; Section Y: amended as follows […]”
If the Licensor will not agree to the terms and conditions cited herein
and/or as contained in DFARS 227.72, the Contractor shall retain the
current license on behalf of and for the benefit of the US Government if
permissible under its license and such use will not subject the
Government to the terms of the license. If the software in question is
required to be delivered to the Government, the Licensor must grant the
Government a sublicense that allows the Government to use the software
to meet its requirements.
The Contractor shall provide documentation to clearly correlate or map
any commercial computer software to be delivered to:
a) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS);

any non-FFRDC concern in response to a Federal agency request for proposal
for other than the operation of an FFRDC (with exceptions stated in DFARS
235.017-1(c)(4)). There is no regulation prohibiting an FFRDC from
responding to a solicitation. However, the FFRDC’s sponsoring agency must
first make a determination that the effort being proposed falls within the
purpose, mission, general scope of effort, or special competency of the
FFRDC, and that determination must be included in the FFRDC’s proposal. In
addition, AFRL must make a determination that the work proposed would not
place the FFRDC in direct competition with domestic private industry. Only
after these determinations are made, would a determination be made
concerning the FFRDC’s eligibility to receive an award.
4. Government Agencies: If a Government agency is interested in
performing work, contact the Program Manager identified in the BAA. If those
discussions result in a mutual interest to pursue your agency's participation,
the effort will be pursued independent of this announcement.

(1) Unique and innovative approach proposed to accomplish the
technical objectives. New and creative solutions and/or advances
in knowledge, understanding, technology, and the state of the
art.
(2) The offeror’s understanding of the scope of the technical effort.
(3) Soundness of the offeror’s technical approach.
(4) The potential for AFRL to transition the research and development
deliverables to future Government needs. Any proposed
restrictions on technical data or computer software will be
considered.
(5) Availability of qualified technical personnel and their experience
with the applicable technologies.
(6) Availability, from any source, of necessary research, test,
laboratory, or shop facilities.
b. Cost/Price: The cost/price criterion includes the realism of the
proposed cost. Cost/Price is a substantial factor, but ranked as the
second order of priority. (If an offeror proposes the use of GFP other
than any GFP identified in this BAA, and that proposed GFP provides
the offeror an unfair competitive advantage, then FAR 45.202 requires
rental equivalent be applied to the Cost Factor for evaluation purposes
only).
3. SECOND STEP / PROPOSAL - Review and Selection Process
a. Categories: Based on the Peer or Scientific Review, proposals will be
categorized as Selectable or Not Selectable (see definitions below). The
selection of one or more sources for award will be based on the Peer or
Scientific Review, as well as importance to agency programs and
funding availability.
(1) Selectable: Proposals are recommended for acceptance if
sufficient funding is available
(2) Not Selectable: Even if sufficient funding existed, the proposal
should not be funded.
Note: The Government reserves the right to award some, all, or none
of proposals. When the Government elects to award only a part of a
Page 19 of 22

---

proposal, the selected part may be categorized as Selectable, though
the proposal as a whole may not merit such a categorization.
b. No other criteria will be used.
c. Prior to award of a potentially successful offer, the Contracting Officer
will make a determination regarding price reasonableness.
d. As indicated in Section I.5-g above, the Government will conduct a S&T
Protection Initial Risk Review only for those proposals categorized as
Selectable and selected for funding and negotiations.
VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices: Offerors will be notified whether their proposal is
recommended for award on or about 45 calendar days after submission of
their proposal. The notification is not to be construed to mean that any
contract or assistance award is assured, as availability of funds and
successful negotiations are prerequisites to any award.
2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: See Section I.
3. Reporting: See I.3.a.,CDRLs.
VII. Other Information
1. Acquisition of Commercial Items: Based upon market research, the
Government is not using the policies contained in Part 12, Acquisition of
Commercial Items, in this solicitation. However, interested offerors may
identify to the Contracting Officer their interest and capability to satisfy the
Government’s requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this

2. Support Contractors: Only Government employees will participate in Peer
or Scientific Reviews. Offerors are advised that employees of commercial
firms under contract to the Government may be used to administratively
process proposals, monitor contract performance, or perform other
administrative duties requiring access to other contractors' proprietary
information. These support contracts include nondisclosure agreements
prohibiting their contractor employees from disclosing any information
submitted by other contractors or using such information for any purpose
other than that for which it was furnished.

outlined in the award notice described in Paragraph VI.1.
4. Item Unique Identification and Valuation. It is DoD policy that
contractors shall be required to identify the Government’s unit acquisition
cost for all deliverable end items for which Item Unique Identification applies.
Therefore, proposals must clearly break out the unit acquisition cost for any
deliverable items. See DFARS 211.274-3, Policy for Valuation, for more
information. (Per DoD, “fully burdened unit costs” to the Government would
include all direct, indirect, G&A costs, and an appropriate portion of fee). For
more information, see the following website:
http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/uid/index.html.
5. Pre-Award Clearance: Pursuant to FAR 22.805, a pre-award clearance
must be obtained from the U.S. Department Of Labor, Employment
Standards Administration, Office Of Federal Contract Compliance Program’s
(OFCCP) prior to award of a contract (or subcontract) of $10,000,000 or
more unless the contractor is listed in OFCCP’s National Pre-award Registry
https://ofccp.dol-esa.gov/preaward/pa_reg.html. Award may be delayed if you
are not currently listed in the registry and the contracting officer must
request a pre-award clearance from the OFCCP.
6. Updates of Publicly Available Information Regarding Responsibility
Matters: Any contract or assistance award that exceeds $600,000; and
when offeror checked “has” in paragraph (b) of the provision FAR 52.209-7,
shall contain the clause/article, FAR 52.209-9 “Updates of Publicly Available
Information Regarding Responsibility Matters.”

will not be accepted through Grants.gov or other methods unless the entity is registered in
SAM.
III. Certifications:
1. SAM: SAM is now the central repository for common Government-wide financial
assistance certifications and representations. Registration in SAM now includes the
acceptance of Certifications and Assurances. SAM may be accessed at:
https://sam.gov/content/home The Financial Assistance Certifications Report is an
attestation that the entity will abide by the requirements of the various laws and
regulations; therefore, as applicable, you are still required to submit any documentation,
including the SF LLL Disclosure of Lobbying Activities (if applicable), and informing
DoD of unpaid delinquent tax liability or a felony conviction under any Federal law.
(Note: Grant offices should include any other requirements, such as IRB certifications.)
2. Note to Agreements/Grants Officer: In the rare event that additional certification(s) or
representation(s) are required (beyond those identified in SAM) due to law or regulations,
specific DoD program needs, or as necessary to conduct business, you may add them as
warranted by adding them as an attachment to the funding opportunity. For example, this
will likely be necessary for Title III programs. If doing so, add the following statement here,
or preface the Certification(s) or Representation(s) Attachment with the following statement:
“This program contains unique certifications and representations not identified in the SAM
repository and are included as an attachment to this funding opportunity. By checking “I
Agree” on the SF 424 Block 21 or the SF 424 (R&R) block 17 you agree to abide by the
following statement: By signing this application, I certify (1) to the statements contained in
the list of certifications and (2) that the statements herein are true, complete and accurate to
the best of my knowledge. I also provide the required assurances and agree to comply with
any resulting terms if I accept an award. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent

Attachment 5
statements or claims may subject me to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties. (U.S.
Code, Title 218, Section 1001)”
IV. Grants.gov: If you are submitting an assistance instrument proposal, you may do so
electronically through Grants.gov, in addition to submitting in accordance with BAA Section
IV Paragraph 2.a.iv., but you are not required to submit via Grants.gov. (The CO may
request an email from the offeror be submitted notifying the Contracting POC when a
proposal is submitted electronically via Grants.gov.) The application submission and receipt
instructions follow below. Read the following instructions carefully and completely:
1. Electronic Delivery
DoD is participating in the Grants.gov initiative to provide the grant community with a
single site to find and apply for grant funding opportunities. Applicants may submit their
applications online through Grants.gov in accordance with the BAA.
2. How to Register to Apply through Grants.gov
a. Instructions: Read the instructions below about registering to apply for funds under
this BAA. Applicants should read the registration instructions carefully and prepare
the information requested before beginning the registration process. Reviewing and
assembling the required information before beginning the registration process will
alleviate last-minute searches for required information.
The registration process can take up to four weeks to complete. Therefore,
registration should be done in sufficient time to ensure it does not impact your ability
to meet required application submission deadlines.
If individual applicants are eligible to apply for this grant funding opportunity, refer
to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/registration.html
Organization applicants can find complete instructions here:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration.html
(1) Obtain a DUNS Number: All entities applying for funding, including renewal
funding, must have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number from
Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). Applicants must enter the DUNS number in the data
entry field labeled "Organizational DUNS" on the SF-424 form.
For more detailed instructions for obtaining a DUNS number, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-1-
obtain-duns-number.html
Page 3 of 6

---

Attachment 5
(2) Register with SAM: In addition to having a DUNS number, organizations applying
online through Grants.gov (or otherwise) must register with the System for Award
Management (SAM).
For more detailed instructions for registering with SAM, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-2-
register-with-sam.html
(3) Create a Grants.gov Account: The next step in the registration process is to create
an account with Grants.gov. Applicants must know their organization's DUNS
number to complete this process. Completing this process automatically triggers
an email request for applicant roles to the organization's E-Business Point of
Contact (EBiz POC) for review. The EBiz POC is a representative from your
organization who is the contact listed for SAM. To apply for grants on behalf of
your organization, you will need the Authorized Organizational Representative
(AOR) role.
For more detailed instructions about creating a profile on Grants.gov, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/registration/add-profile.html
(4) Authorize Grants.gov Roles: After creating an account on Grants.gov, the EBiz
POC receives an email notifying them of your registration and request for roles.
The EBiz POC will then log in to Grants.gov and authorize the appropriate roles,
which may include the AOR role, thereby giving you permission to complete and
submit applications on behalf of the organization. You will be able to submit your
application online any time after you have been approved as an AOR.
b. Electronic Signature: When applications are submitted through Grants.gov, the name
of the organization's AOR that submitted the application is inserted into the signature
line of the application, serving as the electronic signature. The EBiz POC must
authorize individuals who are able to make legally binding commitments on behalf of
the organization as an AOR; this step is often missed and it is crucial for valid and
timely submissions.
3. How to Submit an Application via Grants.gov
Grants.gov applicants can apply online using Workspace. Workspace is a shared, online
environment where members of a grant team may simultaneously access and edit
different webforms within an application. For each BAA, you can create individual
instances of a workspace.
Below is an overview of applying on Grants.gov. For access to complete instructions on
how to apply for opportunities, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/apply-for-grants.html
Page 4 of 6

---

Attachment 5
a. Create a Workspace: Creating a workspace allows you to complete it online and route
it through your organization for review before submitting.
b. Complete a Workspace: Add participants to the workspace, complete all the required
forms, and check for errors before submission.
(1) Adobe Reader: If you decide not to apply by filling out webforms you can
download individual PDF forms in Workspace so that they will appear similar to
other Standard forms. The individual PDF forms can be downloaded and saved to
your local device storage, network drive(s), or external drives, then accessed
through Adobe Reader.
NOTE: Visit the Adobe Software Compatibility page on Grants.gov to download
the appropriate version of the software at:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/adobe-software-compatibility.html
(2) Mandatory Fields in Forms: In the forms, you will note fields marked with an
asterisk and a different background color. These fields are mandatory fields that
must be completed to successfully submit your application.
(3) Complete SF-424 Fields First: The forms are designed to fill in common required
fields across other forms, such as the applicant name, address, and DUNS
number. To trigger this feature, an applicant must complete the SF-424
information first. Once it is completed, the information will transfer to the other
forms.
c. Submit an Application via Workspace: An application may be submitted through
workspace by clicking the Sign and Submit button on the Manage Workspace page,
under the Forms tab. Grants.gov recommends submitting your application package at
least 24-48 hours prior to the close date to provide you with time to correct any
potential technical issues that may disrupt the application submission.
d. Track an Application via Workspace: After successfully submitting a workspace
package, a Grants.gov Tracking Number (GRANTXXXXXXXX) is automatically
assigned to the package. The number will be listed on the Confirmation page that is
generated after submission.
For additional training resources, including video tutorials, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/applicant-training.html
Applicant Support: Grants.gov provides applicants 24/7 support via the toll-free number
1-800-518-4726 and email at support@grants.gov. For questions related to the specific
grant opportunity, contact the number listed in the application package of the grant you
are applying for.

Attachment 5
If you are experiencing difficulties with your submission, it is best to call the Grants.gov
Support Center and get a ticket number. The Support Center ticket number will assist the
DoD with tracking your issue and understanding background information on the issue.
4. Timely Receipt Requirements and Proof of Timely Submission
a. Online Submission. All applications must be received by the due date established for
each program. Proof of timely submission is automatically recorded by Grants.gov.
An electronic date/time stamp is generated within the system when the application is
successfully received by Grants.gov. The applicant AOR will receive an
acknowledgement of receipt and a tracking number (GRANTXXXXXXXX) from
Grants.gov with the successful transmission of their application. Applicant AORs will
also receive the official date/time stamp and Grants.gov Tracking number in an email
serving as proof of their timely submission.
When the application is successfully retrieved from Grants.gov, and the download of
submissions is acknowledged, Grants.gov will provide an electronic acknowledgment
of receipt of the application to the email address of the applicant with the AOR role.
Again, proof of timely submission shall be the official date and time that Grants.gov
receives your application. Applications received by Grants.gov after the established
due date for the program will be considered late and will not be considered for
funding.
Applicants using slow internet, such as dial-up connections, should be aware that
transmission can take some time before Grants.gov receives your application. Again,
Grants.gov will provide either an error or a successfully received transmission in the
form of an email sent to the applicant with the AOR role. The Grants.gov Support
Center reports that some applicants end the transmission because they think that
nothing is occurring during the transmission process. Please be patient and give the
system time to process the application.
V. Assistance Opportunity: Go to https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search-grants.html to
find the opportunity. Instructions are provided at

I. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Background:
All requirements of Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA8650-21-S-2205
apply unless specifically amended and addressed in this Call. The baseline BAA
contains information applicable to all Calls issued under the BAA and provides
information on the overall program, proposal preparation and submission
requirements, proposal review and evaluation criteria, award administration,
agency contacts, etc.
The BAA consists of a Two-Step process. This Call is the FIRST STEP.
This Call is a request for White Papers.
The objective of the Call is to foster innovative research in technology and
methods to understand design considerations for AM parts for primary structures
to cost effectively address two of these five requirements: (3) developing
mechanical properties and design allowables, and (4) verifying that the
performance of the final parts is predictable. The initial focus would be for
limited life (attritable) aircraft with only hundreds of hours of life or less.
Following those results, the focus would shift to typical Air Force operations with
thousands of hours of life or more.
Call is specific to additive manufacturing (AM). Focus areas include the
following:
 The size, shape, orientation, frequency, and location of discontinuities in the
part,
 Anisotropy of strength and fatigue properties, and
 Residual stresses.

CALL # 0001
25 June 2021
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (SOO)
BAA: Collaborations for Innovative Research on Aerospace Structure (CIRAS)
Qualifying Additively Manufactured Airframe Structure
I. Background
Additive manufacturing (AM) offers many opportunities for reducing part count and making
complex shapes. AM of metal structure is hampered by the expense of qualifying each new part.
Among the issues that need to be addressed in the part qualification process are:
• The size, shape, orientation, frequency, and location of discontinuities in the part,
• Anisotropy of strength and fatigue properties, and
• Residual stresses.
These issues are a function of the part design, the build strategy, and even the specific machine,
by serial number, that the part is built with. Thus, every new AM part requires an extensive
effort to [1]:
1. Establish that the fabrication process is stable and repeatable,
2. Demonstrate that the process can be scaled up to produce parts in quantity,
3. Develop mechanical properties and design allowables,
4. Verify that the performance of the final part is predictable, and
5. Demonstrate that the part is sustainable (i.e., inspectable, maintainable, repairable, etc.)
As the Air Force and its industrial partners consider AM parts for primary structures in the
future, the Air Force Research Laboratory need to provide the Air Force Lifecycle Management
Center guidance on design practices that move away from a part by part qualification strategy to
one that provides guidance based on features including but not limited to roughness, wall
thickness, radii, overhang, material, etc.
II. Description of Effort
The Air Force Research Laboratory, Aerospace Systems Directorate is soliciting white papers
and potentially technical and cost proposals under this announcement to foster innovative
research in technology and methods to understand design considerations for AM parts for
primary structures to cost effectively address two of these five requirements: (3) developing
mechanical properties and design allowables, and (4) verifying that the performance of the final
parts is predictable. The initial focus would be for limited life (attritable) aircraft with only
hundreds of hours of life or less. Following those results, the focus would shift to typical Air
Force operations with thousands of hours of life or more.

AFRL will provide up to $150,000/yr for two years to support this research. AFRL anticipates
providing two years of support for this effort.
IV. OPSEC
Operations Security (OPSEC) must be an integral part of our daily activities. As we maintain
security on our future technologies that are vital to national interest, we must recognize and
prepare for the threat poised against our technology. Department of Defense policies mandate a
high degree of security throughout the acquisition process. However, heightened security
awareness and threat-based countermeasures are particularly essential during the research and
development phase when our technology is most vulnerable to espionage, sabotage, or
exploitation. It is the obligation of each employee or persons involved on this agreement be
constantly aware of and strictly adhere to security requirements designed to protect sensitive
unclassified and other information and resources produced by acquisition, research and
development, and technological security efforts outlined in this SOO. The recipient shall ensure
employees receive training and follow appropriate Operations Security (OPSEC) measures
during the performance of the agreement.
