What the agency is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking research and development proposals for a "Battery Network" (BATTNET). This is a broad agency announcement, meaning the DLA is looking for innovative ideas rather than a specific product or service.
Individual contracts may be awarded under this announcement, up to a total ceiling of $20 million over five years. No funds are guaranteed upfront; funding will be established for each individual contract awarded.
Key dates and deadlines
This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) was published on September 02, 2021, and will remain open for five years. The deadline for submissions is September 01, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.
Proposals can be submitted throughout this five-year period. The DLA will evaluate submissions as they are received.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms specializing in professional research and development, particularly those with expertise in battery technology, network systems, or related fields. It targets organizations capable of proposing innovative solutions for the DLA's BATTNET initiative.
Given the nature of a Broad Agency Announcement, this is ideal for entities that can offer novel approaches and solutions rather than just fulfilling a predefined requirement.
