Atch 1 - Supplemental Instructions for Assistance Instrument Proposals

FA2391-23-S-2403
Attachment 1
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.
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

Attachment 1
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 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/. The Financial Assistance Certifications

FA2391-23-S-2403
Attachment 1
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.
2. 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: White Papers cannot be submitted through Grants.gov. White
papers must be submitted in accordance with BAA Section IV Paragraph 2.
Only white papers are being solicited at this time. White papers will be reviewed
and those selected for further consideration will result in a Request for Proposal (RFP).
If submitting a proposal through Grants.gov, offerors are also required to notify the
Contracting POC identified in the RFP a proposal has been submitted electronically
through 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.
Organizations must have an active System for Award Management (SAM)
registration, and Grants.gov account to apply for grants and other funding
opportunities.
Creating a Grants.gov account can be completed online in minutes, but
SAM registrations may take additional time. Therefore, an organization's
registration should be done in sufficient time to ensure it does not impact
the entity's ability to meet required application submission deadlines.

FA2391-23-S-2403
Attachment 1
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) Register with SAM All organizations applying online through Grants.gov
must register with the System for Award Management (SAM) and will
receive a unique entity identifier (UEI) number. Failure to register with
SAM will prevent your organization from applying through Grants.gov.
SAM registration must be renewed annually. 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
(2) Create a Grants.gov Account: The next step in the registration process
is to create an account with Grants.gov. Follow the on-screen
instructions or refer to the detailed instructions here:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/registration.html
(3) Add a Profile to a Grants.gov Account: A profile in Grants.gov
corresponds to a single applicant organization the user represents (i.e.,
an applicant) or an individual applicant. If you work for or consult with
multiple organizations and have a profile for each, you may log in to one
Grants.gov account to access all of your grant applications. To add an
organizational profile to your Grants.gov account, enter the UEI Number
for the organization in the UEI field while adding a profile. 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) EBiz POC Authorized Profile Roles: After you register with
Grants.gov and create an Organization Applicant Profile, the
organization applicant's request for Grants.gov roles and access is sent
to the EBiz POC. 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 assigned the AOR role. For more
detailed instructions about creating a profile on Grants.gov, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/registration/authorize-
roles.html
(5) Track Role Status: To track your role request, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/registration/track-role-
status.html
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

---

FA2391-23-S-2403
Attachment 1
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/workspace-overview.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 to work on the
application together, complete all the required forms online or by
downloading PDF versions, and check for errors before submission. The
Workspace progress bar will display the state of your application process as
you apply. As you apply using Workspace, you may click the blue question
mark icon near the upper-right corner of each page to access context-
sensitive help.
(1) Adobe Reader: If you decide not to apply by filling out webforms you
can download individual PDF forms in Workspace. 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 UEI Number. 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

---

FA2391-23-S-2403
Attachment 1
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. Using the tracking
number, access the Track My Application page under the Applicants tab or
the Details tab in the submitted workspace.
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 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.

TBD of the total price is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract. An allotment
schedule is set forth in paragraph (j) of this clause.
(b) For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor agrees to perform up to
the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement in the event of
termination of those item(s) for the Government's convenience, approximates the total amount currently
allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on those item(s) beyond that
point. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the
amount allotted to the contract for those item(s) regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause
entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government." As used in this clause, the total amount
payable by the Government in the event of termination of applicable contract line item(s) for convenience
includes costs, profit, and estimated termination settlement costs for those item(s).
(c) Notwithstanding the dates specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause,
the Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least ninety days prior to the date when, in

needed to continue performance of applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of
funds identified in paragraph (j) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. The
notification will also advise the Contracting Officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be
required for the timely performance of the item(s) funded pursuant to this clause, for a subsequent period
as may be specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause or otherwise agreed to by the
parties. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor's
notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer will terminate any item(s) for which
additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled "Termination for
Convenience of the Government."
(d) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the contract line item(s)
identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the parties will agree as to the period of contract performance
which will be covered by the funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this clause will apply
in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified
accordingly.
(e) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to allot additional funds, by the dates
indicated below, in amounts sufficient for timely performance of the contract line item(s) identified in
paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the
work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the
price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the item(s), or
in the time of delivery, or both. Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder will be a
dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause entitled "Disputes."

performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause.
(g) The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the Government under the
clause entitled "Default." The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds for
the contract line item(s) set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause. This clause no longer applies once the
contract is fully funded except with regard to the rights or obligations of the parties concerning equitable
adjustments negotiated under paragraphs (d) or (e) of this clause.
(h) Nothing in this clause affects the rights of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant
to the clause of this contract entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government."
(i) Nothing in this clause shall be construed as authorization of voluntary services whose
acceptance is otherwise prohibited under 31 U.S.C. 1342.

4.0 Operational Security (OPSEC):
Operations Security (OPSEC) must be an integral part of our daily activities. As the Contractor
maintains security on future technologies that are vital to national interest, the Contractor must
recognize and prepare for the threat poised against such 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 person involved in
execution of this SOW 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 SOW.
The Contractor shall ensure employees receive training and follow appropriate OPSEC measures
during the performance of the resulting contract.

(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
offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.
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

addition, if the offeror is an educational institution, DFARS 252.209-7005, MILITARY RECRUITING ON
CAMPUS, will be added to Section I of the resultant contract.
(e) Subcontracting Plan. DFARS 219.708 was amended to require the use of clause 252.219-
7004, Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Test Program), instead of 252.219-7003, Small Business
Subcontracting Plan (DoD Contracts), and FAR 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, in prime
contracts with contractors that have comprehensive subcontracting plans approved under the test
program described in DFARS 219.702. Also, include in the prime contract, solely for the purpose of
flowing the clauses down to subcontractors, FAR clause 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan,
and 252.219-7003, or when contract will not be reported in FPDS, FAR clause 52.219-9, Small Business
Subcontracting Plan with its Alternate III and 252.219-7003 Small Business Subcontracting Plan (DoD
Contracts) with its Alternate I.
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.
L029 DETERMINATION OF COMPETITIVE RANGE (FEB 1997)
(a) Pursuant to FAR 15.306, the Contracting Officer's determination of competitive range of
proposals submitted as a result of this solicitation will consider such criteria as technical
evaluation/ranking of the proposal, initial cost/ price proposed, and other items set forth in Section M of
SECTION L FA2391-23-R-2403
PAGE L - 3 of 4

FA2391-23-S-2403
Attachment 4
PART IV -REPRESENTATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION L -INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS
this solicitation. See the Section M paragraph entitled "Evaluation Criteria," for a definitive listing of these
criteria and their relative importance.
(b) Offerors are hereby advised that only those proposals determined to have a reasonable
chance for award of a contract will be included in the competitive range. While every effort will be made
to maintain strong competition, the Contracting Officer will also look to eliminate time consuming and
unnecessary discussions with those offerors whose proposals have no reasonable chance for award.
This procedure is considered beneficial to both the Air Force and the offerors involved since, in addition to
saving further expenditure of resources, acquisition lead time should be reduced.
(c) Accordingly, offerors should submit initial proposals on their most favorable terms, from both
a technical and cost/price standpoint. Again, it should be noted that proposals will not be included in the
competitive range solely on the basis of technical acceptability, nor will they be included due to cost/price
considerations alone.
(d) Offerors whose proposals are not included in the competitive range will be notified as soon as
practicable. Additional information relative to such proposals will be provided through debriefing of
unsuccessful offerors.
L037 DD FORM 1423 (FEB 1997)
(a) All technical data and identified administrative reports contractually required shall be supplied
in accordance with attached CDRL or DD Form 1423.
(b) The offeror may propose alternative offers which recommend substitutions or eliminations of
the stated requirements. Substantiate each recommendation and describe the projected savings that
would result by accepting the alternative offer.
L045 ACCESS TO AIR FORCE COMPUTER SYSTEMS (FEB 2011)
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.

multidisciplinary technologies (such as active aeroelastic wing, active
flutter suppression, multifunctional structures, etc..), additive
manufacturing for design and testing, and experimental validation via
ground or flight testing.
Topic 18 – Development and Demonstration of Advanced Military Air
Vehicle Capabilities: Analysis, development, maturation and
demonstration of advanced technology concepts, at the subsystem or
system level. Of interest are both technologies integrated onto existing
Air Force weapon systems as capability enhancements and into new
systems as new capabilities to address current or projected warfighting
shortfalls. Technologies may be applicable to air vehicles of all classes
and speed regimes accomplishing any military mission germane to
current, emerging or envisioned Air Force missions.
Security: It is expected that during the development and demonstration of
technologies supporting the AFRL high speed portfolio that information will be used
or generated up to the level of Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information
(TS/SCI).
The contractor shall train personnel in, and follow appropriate Operations Security
(OPSEC) measures during the performance of these research activities.
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 contract 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 BAA. The contractor shall ensure employees receive
training and follow appropriate Operations Security (OPSEC) measures during the
performance of the contract.
Safety: The contractor shall consider system safety requirements when developing
these identified technologies/technical objectives. (Ref: Military Standard (Mil-Std
882E Department of Defense Standard Practice System Safety)). The system
safety process is to identify and document any system safety hazards introduced
during all phases (e.g., planning, design, fabrication and testing) and recommend
adequate risk mitigations to either eliminate the identified safety risk or minimize
them to acceptable risk level. The design goal shall be to eliminate all hazards.
Any residual hazards and subsequent design risk shall be summarized and provide
enough detail to support an informed program management decision with regard
to the design’s overall safety risk. The contractor shall conduct an evaluation or
assessment of these technologies and recommends appropriate system safety
task(s) to be conducted in the appropriate technical objectives.

Technology (S&T) Protection for the Air Force Research Laboratory”,
offerors are required to submit the following as part of their proposal:
1) A completed initial Standard Form (SF) 424, Research and Related
Senior/Key Person Profile (Expanded) Form, (Attachment 9) for all
Senior/Key Personnel proposed in support of the AFRLI 61-113
Personnel Risk Assessment requirement.
2) Documentation of a Security Program Plan in support of the AFRLI
61-113 Initial Institution S&T Protection Program Review
requirement. This must include, at a minimum, a completed
Security Program Questionnaire (Attachment 10). Submittal may
also include a pre-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
unawardable.
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
8 (SOW Supplemental Requirements), the Contractor shall provide
an SF 424 with the following information: 1) an initial report of all
Senior/Key Personnel at the time of award; 2) an annual report of
all Senior/Key Personnel providing support; and 3) a report for any
new Senior/Key Personnel who join the contract, agreement, grant,
or OT. Any updated SF 424s for new Senior/Key Personnel
supporting the award require coordination from the Government
prior to the contractor employee receiving access to S&T
information. The purpose of this report is oversight and should not
be construed as relieving the contractor/recipient of any S&T
Protection requirements within the contract, grant, agreement, or
OT.
6. Other Information:
a. Government Furnished Property (GFP) Availability: GFP is not
anticipated to be made available under any resulting contract. It may
be requested in the offeror’s White Paper, and must clearly be
identified in the Proposal. For Calls, any GFP should be clearly
identified in the White Paper and/or Proposal.
b. Base Support/ Network Access: Base support may be proposed.
(1) Available Base Facilities: Various test facilities at Wright-
Patterson AFB and Arnold Engineering Development Center. A

(3) NCS Documentation: To Be Determined
(4) Commercial Computer Software Rights: To Be Determined
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
(GPR) 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 GPR 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.
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,

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 PACER central inbox identified in the BAA. If those

1. Overview: The Open Period consists of a Two-Step Process described in detail
below. White Papers/Proposals submitted shall be in accordance with this
announcement. There will be no other solicitation issued in regard to this
requirement. The Government intends to review white papers/proposals and
award some, all, or none of the proposals received without negotiation/discussion;
however, the Government reserves the right to negotiate with the offeror(s)
whose proposal is selected for funding.
ONLY WHITE PAPERS ARE BEING SOLICITED AT THIS TIME.
Offerors should be alert for any BAA amendments that may permit extensions
to the white paper submission date.
For additional information, a copy of the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
Guide for Industry is located at
https://www.afrl.af.mil/Portals/90/Documents/HQ/BAA%20Ind%20Guide%2
02020.pdf?ver=7AivkWvoUoptKgypgCuIvw%3d%3d
2. White Paper Instructions (STEP ONE):
a. General: The FIRST STEP requests a white paper and a rough order of
magnitude (ROM) cost. The white paper shall include a discussion of the
nature and scope of the research and the offeror’s proposed technical
Page 19 of 33

approach. The Government will review the white papers in accordance with
the FIRST STEP White Paper Review Criteria, set forth in Section IV.4.1.
below. Based on this review, the Government will determine whether the
white paper has the potential to best meet the Air Force’s needs. Offerors
will be notified of the disposition of their white paper. An email response
will be sent notifying offerors that their white paper has been received. If
an offeror does not receive written communication from the Contracting
Officer requesting a proposal within approximately 180 days, the
government is not interested in pursuing the white paper. Please note: 180
days is a notional timeframe and could be longer based on the government
white paper review cycle. Those offerors submitting white papers assessed
as meeting Air Force needs will be asked to submit a technical proposal. An
offeror submitting a proposal without first submitting a white paper will
not be eligible for an award. The cost of preparing white papers in response
to this Solicitation is not considered an allowable direct charge to any
resulting or any other contract; however, it may be an allowable expense to
the normal bid and proposal indirect cost as specified in FAR 31.205-18.
Offerors should submit an electronic copy of the White Paper to the
Email address identified in the “Submission” Paragraph of the
Overview Information. Please reach out to the PACER central inbox
identified in the “Submission” Paragraph if there are any issues submitting
an electronic copy. White Papers submitted directly to AFRL/RQ Technical
and/or Contracting POCs will not be reviewed.
For each CALL that is announced pursuant to this BAA (see Section V
below), there will be a “moratorium” beginning when the call is
published and continuing until six months after the due date for
proposals, during which no white papers submitted covering the topic
specified in the call will be reviewed.
b. Page Limitation: The White Paper shall be limited to 5 pages, prepared and
submitted in Word format. Font shall be standard 10-point business font
Arial. Character spacing must be “normal,” not condensed in any manner.
Pages shall be double-spaced (must use standard double-space function in
Microsoft Word), 8.5 by 11 inches, with at least one-inch margins on both
sides, top and bottom. All text, including text in tables and charts, must
adhere to all font size and line spacing requirements listed herein. Font and
line spacing requirements do not have to be followed for illustrations,
flowcharts, drawings, diagrams, cover page, table of contents, and
restrictive/proprietary markings (in header or footer). These exceptions
shall not be used to circumvent formatting requirements and page count
limitations by including lengthy narratives in such items. Pages shall be
numbered starting with the cover page being Page 1, and the last page
being no greater than Page 5. The page limitation covers all information
including indices, photographs, foldouts (counted as 1 page for each 8.5 by

information not technically related, etc. Provide rationale for
exceptions.
c) Associate Contractor Agreements: Associate Contractor Agreements
(ACAs) are agreements between contractors working on Government
contracts that require them to share information, data, technical
knowledge, expertise, or resources. The contracting officer may
require ACAs when contractors working on separate Government
contracts must cooperate, share resources or otherwise jointly
participate in working on contracts or projects. Prime contractor to
subcontractor relationships do not constitute ACAs. For each award,
the contracting officer will identify associate contractors with whom
agreements are required.
d) Identify any technical data that will be delivered with less than
unlimited rights.
e) Subcontracting Plans: For efforts to exceed $750,000, Subcontracting
Plans shall be submitted in the cost/business proposal. Reference FAR
19.704 and DFARS 219.704 for subcontracting plan requirements.
Small business concerns are exempt from this requirement. If an
IDIQ contract arrangement is anticipated, the basis for the
subcontracting plan should reflect the entire ceiling amount.
f) Limitations on Pass-Through Charges: As prescribed in FAR
15.408(n)(1) & 15.408(n)(2), provisions 52.215-22, “Limitations on
Pass Through Charges- Identification of Subcontract Effort (Oct
2009),” apply.
g) Completed Certifications and Representations (Section K) are due with
the proposal. Certifications and Representations (Section K) can be
found at Attachment 3. Offerors may also be required to submit
updated or supplemental Certifications and Representations based on
the specifics of their proposal.
h) If an offeror proposes the use of GFP, the offer must specifically
identify each piece of GFP in the Cost/Business Proposal and propose
and substantiate a rental cost for evaluation purposes in accordance
with FAR 45.202. Include the following information in the proposal:
(i) A list describing all Government property that the offeror or its
subcontractors propose to use on a rent-free basis. The list shall
identify the accountable contract under which the property is held
and the authorization for its use (from the contracting officer
having cognizance of the property);
(ii) The dates during which the property will be used and, for any
property that will be used concurrently in performing two or more
contracts, the amounts of the respective uses in sufficient detail to
support prorating the rent;
Page 24 of 33

---

(iii) The amount of rent that would otherwise be charged in
accordance with FAR 52.245-9, Use and Charges; and
(iv) The voluntary consensus standard or industry leading practices
and standards to be used in the management of Government
property, or existing property management plans, methods,
practices, or procedures for accounting for property.
2) Cost Element Breakdown: Clear, concise, and accurate cost proposals
reflect the offeror's financial plan for accomplishing the effort contained in
the technical proposal. As a part of its cost proposal, the offeror shall
submit the information outlined below, together with supporting
breakdowns. All direct costs (labor, material, travel, computer, etc.) as
well as labor and overhead rates should be provided by contractor fiscal
year (CFY). Detailed cost element breakdowns by Government Fiscal Year
or calendar year are not required. The supporting schedules may include
summary level estimating rationale used to generate the proposed costs.
The cost element breakdown should include the following if applicable.
a) Direct Labor: Direct labor should be detailed by number of labor
hours by category of labor.
b) Labor and Overhead Rates: Direct labor hours, with their
applicable rates, must be broken out and the bases used clearly
identified. The source of labor and overhead rates and all pricing
factors should be identified. For instance, if a Forward Pricing Rate
Agreement (FPRA) is in existence, that should be noted, along with
the Administrative Contracting Officer’s (ACO's) name and telephone
number. If the rates are based on current experience in your
organization, provide the historical base used and clearly identify all
escalation, by year, applied to derive the proposed rates. If
computer usage is determined by a rate, identify the basis used and
rationale used to derive the rate.
c) Material/Equipment: List all material/equipment items by type
and kind with associated costs and advise if the costs are based on
vendor quotes, data and/or engineering estimates; provide copies of
vendor quotes and/or catalog pricing data.
d) Subcontractor Costs: Submit all subcontractor proposals and
analyses with your cost proposal (See FAR 15.404-3(b)). If the
subcontractor will not submit cost and pricing information to the
offeror, this information must be submitted directly to the
Government for analysis. On all subcontracts and interdivisional
transfers, provide the method of selection used to determine the
subcontractor and the proposed contract type of each subcontract. An
explanation shall be provided if the offeror proposes a different
amount than that quoted by the subcontractor. The offeror’s proposal
must:
(i) Identify principal items/services to be subcontracted.
(ii) Identify prospective subcontractors and the basis on which they
were selected. If non-competitive, provide selected source
justification.
Page 25 of 33

---

(iii) Identify the type of contractual business arrangement
contemplated for the subcontract and provide rationale
(iv) Identify the basis for the subcontract costs (e.g., firm quote or
engineering estimate, etc).
(v) Identify the cost or pricing data submitted by the subcontractor.
(vi) Provide an analysis of the proposed subcontract in accordance
with FAR 15.404-3(b). Provide an analysis concerning the
reasonableness, realism and completeness of each
subcontractor’s proposal. If the analysis is based on comparison
with prior prices, identify the basis on which the prior prices were
determined to be reasonable. The analysis should include, but not
be limited to, an analysis of: materials, labor, travel, other direct
costs and proposed profit or fee rates.
e) Special Tooling or Test Equipment: When special tooling, and/or
test equipment is proposed, attach a brief description of items and
indicate if they are solely for the performance of this particular
contract or project and if they are or are not already available in the
offeror's existing facilities. Indicate quantities, unit prices, whether
items are to be purchased or fabricated, whether items are of a
severable nature and the basis of the price. These items may be
included under Direct Material in the summary format.
f) Consultants: When consultants are proposed to be used in the
performance of the contract, indicate the specific project or area in
which such services are to be used. Identify each consultant, number
of hours or days to be used and the consultant's rate per hour or day.
State the basis of said rate and give your analysis of the acceptability
of the consultant's rate.
g) Travel: Travel costs must be justified and related to the needs of the
project. Identify the number of trips, the destination and purpose.
Travel costs should be broken out by trip with number of travelers,
airfare, per diem, lodging, etc.
h) Computer Use: Detail the amount and kind of computer usage, the
cost, and how the costs were derived.
i) Facilities Capital Cost of Money: If Facilities Capital Cost of Money
is proposed, a properly executed DD Form 1861 is required.
j) Project Funding Profile: Offerors should include a project funding
profile by Government Fiscal Year (GFY) (1 Oct through 30 Sept) for
budgetary purposes. This will enable the Government to easily
identify program funding needs by GFY.
k) If an offeror takes exceptions to the requirements called out in the
announcement (e.g., base support, GFP, CDRLs), the exceptions
should be clearly stated in the cost proposal.
l) Forward Pricing Rate Agreements: Offerors who have forward
pricing rate agreements (FPRA’s) and forward pricing rate
recommendations (FPRR’s) should submit them with their proposal.
m) Cost/Business proposals have no page/formatting limitations.

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 descending order of importance:
a) 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.
b) The offeror’s understanding of the scope of the technical effort.
c) Soundness of the offeror’s technical approach.
d) Affordability (Proposed ROM Cost Estimate).
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 descending 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.

The Broad Agency Announcement FA2391-23-S-2403, Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities,
Engineering, and Research (PACER), CALL Name Collaborative Center for the Design and
Research Of InterDisciplinary Systems (CC DROIDS), is hereby amended to make the
following clarifications:
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (continued numbering from Amendment 1)
2. QUESTION: The CC DROIDS Call states that the anticipated award date for this
Cooperative Agreement is 23 November 2023; what is the earliest state date if
awarded?
ANSWER: The anticipated award date of 23 November 2023 is just an estimate for planning
purposes; the actual award date is subject to change. Once the award has been fully
executed, the recipient may begin work on the effective date located in box 2 of the
Cooperative Agreement Award which is typically the same date as the award date.
3. QUESTION: Will the project period be 6 years OR 7 years?
1

---

ANSWER: Per the Schedule section on page 3 of the CC DROIDS Call Announcement,
The Cooperative Agreement Period of Performance (PoP) will be 72 total months, with 69
months for the Technical Period and 3 months for delivery of the Final Report.
4. QUESTION: If two or more universities establish a prime and subcontract
relationship, is that appropriate for this announcement?
ANSWER: Yes, a university may partner with another university or Industry to complete
this acquisition. In a Cooperative Agreement, the university partner would be considered a
sub-recipient, similar to a subcontractor in FAR-based acquisitions.
5. QUESTION: What margins and font are recommended/required for the 25 pages of
the proposal and the 5 pages of the SOW?
ANSWER: Thank you for identifying this accidental omission. The font and margins are as
follows:
Font: 10-point business font Arial
Margins: 1” minimum on both sides, top, and bottom
6. QUESTION: Does the language in Section III.b, “ Cost Sharing is not required but is
highly encouraged and will be considered favorably,” apply to all offerors?
ANSWER: Yes, Cost Sharing applies to all offerors.
7. QUESTION: Can the cost sharing component include in-kind contributions (e.g.,
offeror-furnished equipment, software, labs, student salary, overhead, etc.)?
ANSWER: The Government prefers cash contributions; however, in-kind contributions may
be proposed as well.
8. QUESTION: Section 2.1 states that any proposal should address all three technology
areas (TAs) listed in 2.1.1; does the AF require or prefer that proposals address each
bullet under the TAs in 2.1.1 (TA1 has three bullets, TA2 has three bullets, and TA3
has four bullets)? In other words, should the proposal address all 10 bullets or would
proposals that address a significant majority but not all 10 bullets still be responsive
and of high interest to the AF?
ANSWER: The 10 bullets describe details of technical areas under this effort that are of
importance to the Air Force. Proposals will be assessed on their technical merit in addressing
these technical areas.

The Broad Agency Announcement FA2391-23-S-2403, Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities,
Engineering, and Research (PACER), CALL Name Collaborative Center for the Design and
Research Of InterDisciplinary Systems (CC DROIDS), is hereby amended to make the
following clarifications:
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (continued numbering from Amendment 2)
9. QUESTION: Do references count within the 25 page limit?
ANSWER: Pages shall be numbered starting with the cover page being Page 1, and the last
page being no greater than Page 25. The page limitation covers all information including
indices, photographs, foldouts (counted as 1 page for each 8.5 by 11 portion) tables, charts,
appendices, attachments, resumes, table of contents, references, etc.
10. QUESTION: Also, what about a page for Table of Contents? Does that count toward
the 25 page limit?

ANSWER: Pages shall be numbered starting with the cover page being Page 1, and the last
page being no greater than Page 25. The page limitation covers all information including
indices, photographs, foldouts (counted as 1 page for each 8.5 by 11 portion) tables, charts,
appendices, attachments, resumes, table of contents, references, etc.
11. QUESTION: Page 5 of the BAA FA2391-23-S-2403 (filename "Call for CC DROIDS—
27 July 2023.pdf"), shows the attached breakdown for the budget. Should we strictly
adhere to this distribution over the years? One potential difficulty is the amount on
FY24 ($210k), which is about one third of the subsequent years. Is this because you
anticipate that not all projects start until FY25, or is there another reason?
ANSWER: The funding profile is based on likely realities of the executability of funding,
allowing for the evolution from detailed discussions/development of tasks and expectations
primarily with faculty, to initial student recruitment, before realizing the full burn rate.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
Collaborative Center for the Design and Research Of InterDisciplinary Systems
(CC DROIDS)
26 July 2023
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1. Purpose: The Aerospace Systems Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory
(AFRL/RQ) shall set up a partnership with an American university by establishing a
Collaborative Center for the Design and Research Of InterDisciplinary Systems (CC
DROIDS). The purpose of the CC DROIDS is to complement AFRL in pursuit of its
goal to lead the research and development of novel design methods and tools for the
optimization and assessment of revolutionary aerospace vehicles. CC DROIDS is an
organizational concept to bolster common research interests through collaboration
among the participants. Developing a Collaborative Center is expected to be mutually
beneficial, increasing the agility and responsiveness of AFRL research efforts while
providing experience and mentorship to students.
1.2. Competency Areas: The Multidisciplinary Sciences and Technology Center (MSTC)
within AFRL leads the integration of multiple disciplines to discover and exploit new
phenomena for system level optimization and the assessment of revolutionary
aerospace vehicles from concept development through preliminary design. Our goal is
to model systems--and systems of systems--to a level of fidelity necessary to capture
the physics which drive system design and to perform design space exploration.
Current competency areas within MSTC are:
1.2.1. Design Space Exploration: Multifidelity model-based systems engineering
(MBSE); single-vehicle mission to campaign-level effectiveness analysis; system
of systems analysis; cost effectiveness analysis; logistics and sustainment
footprints; deterministic gradient and non-gradient based optimization methods;
propulsion and subsystem integration; fuel and system thermal management; risk-
quantified large-scale (104 design variables, 106 constraints) design space
exploration; high-fidelity system level design optimization.
1.2.2. Multifidelity Modeling and Analysis for Design Optimization: Sensitivity
analysis; computational fluid dynamics; linear and nonlinear structural mechanics
and structural dynamics; linear and nonlinear computational aerothermoelasticity;
aeroservoelastic analysis; uncertainty quantification and design under uncertainty;
goal-oriented adaptive, high-order finite-element analysis; aerodynamic
conceptual design; novel configuration assessment; rapid assessment method
development; structural conceptual design; high-fidelity structural topology

optimization, secondary structure weight estimation; design for life; design for
manufacture.
1.2.3. Multidisciplinary Technology Development, Assessment, and Validation:
Aerothermoelastic wind tunnel testing; ground vibration testing; remotely piloted
vehicle (RPV) scaled flight testing; multidisciplinary technologies assessment;
data assimilation in multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization (MDAO).
2.0 OBJECTIVES
2.1 The objectives for CC DROIDS are to develop research activities which align with the
Technology Areas of MSTC, to foster close research collaboration between AFRL and
university partners, to mentor highly qualified students, and to exploit existing
engineering software or develop new software where needed.
2.1.1 Technology Areas: AFRL’s MSTC has a mandate to support a wide range of
computational and experimental requirements for future Air Force capabilities.
The focus for this Collaborative Center will be on developing multidisciplinary
technologies and computational methods required to perform reliable, multi-
fidelity, multidisciplinary analysis and design exploration of aerospace vehicles
across size, speed, and altitude space from small UAVs to transport platforms,
including subsonic to hypersonic configurations. The Collaborative Center will
need to perform research in the following areas--which mirror the research thrusts
of MSTC outlined above--applied to one or more Air Force relevant capabilities.
It is expected that the proposed work is contextualized against the current state of
the art, including previous AFRL MSTC research efforts.
a. TA1: Design Space Exploration
 Risk-quantified design space exploration: Develop and exploit robust
design methods, reliability-based design, design under uncertainty, multi-
level optimization, multi-objective optimization, gradient and non-gradient
based optimization methods for quantative risk assessment in
multidisciplinary design of large-scale problems (104 design variables, 106
constraints)
 Effectiveness-based design: Integrate operations analyses with multi-
fidelity vehicle design (vehicle class/type, aerodynamic shape, topological
and structural layout, propulsion and subsystem integration and sizing,
etc.) to evaluate the impact of vehicle parameters on system operational
behavior. A modeling framework is needed to allow consistent
assessment of designs with multiple power and propulsion systems.

Brayton-based, Rankine-based, electric, and hybrid systems may be
evaluated for power supply, as well a range of ducted and unducted
propulsors. Support non-gradient-based, gradient-based, and mixed
optimization. Consider parameterization of the mission profile for mission
optimization.
 Digital engineering: Integrate MBSE practices and tools into aerospace
system design processes to improve collaboration and ensure a consistent
representation of the system across all models and teams. Centralize
requirements and design artifacts for long-term preservation and
traceability.
b. TA2: Multifidelity Modeling and Analysis for Design Optimization
 Efficient multidisciplinary analysis with design sensitivities: low-to-high-
fidelity coupled physics analysis with computed analytic, semi-analytic,
and numerical design sensitivities. Aerodynamic, structural dynamic,
thermal, acoustic, controls, and other potential physical disciplines that
couple to produce emergent physical phenomena not present in single
discipline analyses (e.g., aeroelasticity). Steady, time-periodic, transient,
and chaotic responses, including critical points representative of changes
in stability. Methods of transferring data across physical interfaces in a
conservative and consistent manner (e.g., load/displacement). Adaptively
learned multi-fidelity surrogate models and methods for accelerating
analysis while maintaining fidelity (e.g., physics and statistics-based
Reduced Order Models (ROMs), leverage of time periodicity, and critical
point identification).
 Goal-oriented adaptive analyses: Develop, test, and exploit goal-oriented
algorithms for adapting analysis to engineering problems in a quantitative,
machine-oriented, objective driven manner that accounts for varied
uncertainty sources and updates during design space exploration. Blend
local adaptations based on discretization, numerical order, and fidelity,
and possibly other algorithmic properties to meet desired objectives,
including numerical accuracy and computational cost. Technical
challenges include handling large parameter variations, high-order
generation and deformation of high-quality meshes, including high-order
space-time meshes, adaptivity in the presence of coupled physics,
generating fast and accurate sensitivities. Leverage ideas in multi-fidelity
surrogate construction, Bayesian inference and updating, and
heterogeneous computing resources. Test on meaningful benchmarks to
quantify benefits of adaptive approaches.

 Design Under Uncertainty: Address modeling, parametric, and numerical
sources of uncertainty. Develop forward and inverse uncertainty
propagation methods to trade efficiency and accuracy when quantifying
aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties encountered in multidisciplinary
design such that follow-on design phases start with conservative estimates
of performance. New methods should be scalable (>20 variables) and
compatible with multiple fidelity representations of single physics and
multi-physics models, and their associated uncertainties. Methods
including but not limited to Bayesian updating, integrating multiple
information sources, adaptive dimension reduction, global sensitivity
analysis, and novel stochastic collocation techniques.
c. TA3: Multidisciplinary Technology Development, Assessment, and
Validation
 Aeroelastic modal topology optimization: Coupling structural and
aerodynamic analysis for structural topology optimization of air vehicles
where the optimality criteria are mode and mode shape based. This may
include experimental validation of the transient response of a
representative structure.
 Experimental data in MDAO: Incorporating experimental data with
uncertainty into the design process to account for un-modeled physics,
aleatory uncertainty, correction factors, truth data, or hardware in the loop
design. This may include in-situ experiments within the design process or
post processed data.
 Quantified technology assessment: Incorporation of computational and
experimental techniques into a system engineering design and technology
assessment process and computing framework.
Employing/utilizing/including probabilistic approaches, quantitatively
assess the impact of suites of technologies on a vehicle design’s measures
of performance and effectiveness. Benefits and penalties should be
captured in a coupled manner to account for total system impacts, and
probabilistically to account for uncertainty in estimates and coupling.
 Multidisciplinary technologies: Develop and demonstrate technologies
that create improved capabilities by leveraging the synergy between
multiple disciplines. Explore the performance space to understand
coupled system behavior, and how that behavior can be best exploited.
Explore how system performance is improved through application of the

technology to representative systems or sub-systems. Two examples are
active aeroelastic wing technology and multifunctional structures.
2.2 Quality of Personnel:
2.2.1 Successful pursuit of these technology challenges requires a high caliber of
research personnel. Collaborative Center team members must be highly
accomplished in their research activities and well regarded in their technical areas.
Any short-term, entry-level, or student researchers supporting the research must
be well-skilled and/or highly trainable, directly supervised, and prepared to
contribute effectively with minimal oversight.
2.3 Collaboration:
2.3.1 A major goal within AFRL is to establish a cooperative relationship with external
researchers in order to increase the agility and responsiveness of research efforts.
It is desired to pursue a collaborative effort in multidisciplinary sciences and
design. The objective of the collaboration is to provide research in aerospace
vehicle design through a broad and agile base of expertise. The collaborative
research is expected to further new multidisciplinary research areas of unique
interest to the Air Force. By conducting this collaborative research, AFRL and
the Collaborative Center can accelerate innovative research in a variety of areas.
It is envisioned that there will be regularly scheduled interaction between the
Collaborative Center researchers and AFRL researchers including, but not limited
to: annual reviews, in-person technical interchange meetings at both the
collaboration facilities and AFRL, as well as regular video conference meetings.
Such connectivity allows the research to be more focused and establishes a
synergistic working relationship with AFRL personnel which can significantly
raise productivity. This close relationship with AFRL also maximizes transition
opportunities for the collaboratively developed technologies. More specific
expected elements of the Collaborative Center include:
a. The collaborative research program will begin with a kickoff period in which
researchers will have detailed meetings with MSTC personnel so that
technical issues and proposed solutions can be fully understood by all team
members. This period may include visit(s) to WPAFB and tours of Air Force
facilities to initiate discussions regarding facility usage by projects within the
Collaborative Center.
b. Annual reviews will be held alternately at the Collaborative Center research
site and at Wright-Patterson AFB.

FA2391-23-S-2403
PACER BAA
Attachment 1
26 July 2023
c. Numerous less formal meetings throughout the period of performance will
also be held. A plan for future, long-term growth of the collaborative multi-
disciplinary science research capability is required. Researchers in the
Collaborative Center will need to interface not only with Air Force
researchers but also with the Air Force’s key collaborators, such as, but not
limited to, a large network of academics funded by AFOSR, AFRL
(Aerospace Systems Directorate and other technical
directorates/divisions/branches), DARPA, NASA and other government and
industry organizations. The best fit for the Collaborative Center will be
research teams that have the ability and willingness to form dynamic
partnerships, and which have demonstrated success working in a cross-
organizational fashion.
d. To facilitate collaboration and integration into AFRL methods and processes,
it is desired that the Collaborative Center will allocate funding for supporting
students to work on site at WPAFB, typically during summer months, to offset
the cost of local housing, relocation, etc.
e. The Collaborative Center is expected to publish or otherwise make publicly
available results of work performed under this agreement to the extent the
results are deemed publicly releasable by AFRL. It is highly desirable that the
Collaborative Center pursue peer-reviewed publication of its research.
f. ITAR work is not anticipated in this Collaborative Center, but if such work is
necessary or deemed advantageous, the university must be able to support
ITAR research, in which case a detailed security plan adhering to ITAR
restrictions will be required.
g. Students funded through the Collaborative Center will be encouraged to apply
for scholarships not impinging on the technical objectives of the Collaborative
Center.
h. To maximize collaborative opportunities and transition potential, it is
encouraged but not required students be US citizens.
2.4 Software:
2.4.1 Because of the computational focus of the Collaborative Center, software will be
a critical medium of research and an important product of the collaboration.
Research and development may utilize software from AFRL and from other
readily available sources, as required. Emphasis will be placed on software
engineering practices that will maximize efficiency in development and flexibility

in reuse and interoperation. Software development and scientific computing skills
such as version control (git), testing, documentation, containerization, etc., are
desired, since it is expected that effective software will lead to significant
advances in capability that will be shared between the Collaborative Center,
AFRL, and other partners. Software development plans shall include integration
into AFRL computational codes and frameworks. For MBSE tasks, the use of the
Dassault’s Catia Magic System of Systems Architect should be considered before
new development is undertaken. For military utility analysis, the preferred tool is
AFSIM. If tasks require the development of vehicle geometry and
surface/volume discretization the use of the Computational Aircraft Prototype
Syntheses (CAPS) should be considered before new development is undertaken.
If tasks require thermal and structural analysis with sensitivities the use of the
Multidisciplinary design Adaptation and Sensitivity Toolkit (MAST) should be
first considered. Finally, if tasks require the development or use of RANS or
Euler computational fluid dynamics the use of either FUN3D or ChiDG should be
considered before new development, or the use of an alternate code is undertaken.

(c) WAWF has been designated as the Department of Defense (DoD) standard for electronic invoicing
and payment. To facilitate this effort for universities and non-profit organizations with awards
administered by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Regional Offices, DoD has established the ONR
Electronic Payment System (PayWeb), https://onronline.onr.navy.mil/payweb/, as an initial entry point
to WAWF. If the recipient participates in the PayWeb system, electronic requests for payment shall be
submitted to the Administrative Grants Officer (AGO) at the Administrative Office in Block TBD of the
award, using the standard PayWeb processes.
(d) Participation in the PayWeb system requires the recipient to obtain an External Certificate Authority
(ECA) certificate from an approved certificate authority for access. Operational Research Consultants
(ORC), http://www.eca.orc.com, and VeriSign, http://www.verisign.com/gov/ieca, are approved ECA
authorities. Questions or requests for technical assistance in implementing certificates should be
addressed to the Navy PKI Help Desk at 1-800-304-4636. The recipient shall contact the AGO at the
Administrative Office in Block TBD of the award for instructions to register and use WAWF/ PayWeb.
(e) Electronic submission of payment requests requires the recipient to register in WAWF and have the
appropriate CAGE code activated. The recipient's System for Award Management (SAM) Electronic
Business Point of Contact (EBPOC) is responsible for activating the CAGE code in WAWF by calling
1-866-618-5988. Once the recipient's CAGE Code is activated, the CCR EBPOC will self-register in
WAWF and follow the instructions for a group administrator. ONR Regional Offices will assist in this
process. The ONR Regional Office is listed as the Administrative Office in Block TBD of the award.
