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.

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.
