OFFICIAL NOTICE CONTENT
Opportunity description
This notice constitutes a combined synopsis and Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the acquisition of research and development (R&D) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 35.016, �Broad Agency Announcement,� as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. No other solicitation will be issued. Only the information provided in this notice is available. Requests for other forms of solicitation shall be disregarded. This BAA will remain open for five (5) years and has a ceiling of $50 Million. The DLA Research and Development (R&D) Program Office is looking for White Papers that support the scope of the BAA as identified in Section 2: Technical Areas of Interest. Offerors are encouraged to propose innovative solutions. Consideration will be given to all approaches that enable improved processes aligning with both DoD and DLA Strategic Initiatives. A White Paper is an abbreviated document (limited to 8 pages) in which a submitter shall describe a technical R&D concept. If such a technical concept is deemed by the Government to be of interest, the Government may request full cost and technical proposals. Full proposals submitted through this White Paper process may result in contract awards - either Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts or one-time, definitive contracts. The Government reserves the right to select all, some, or none of the proposals submitted for award. The primary basis for selecting proposals for acceptance will be technical, importance to agency programs, and funding availability. Cost realism and reasonableness will be considered to the extent appropriate. The full BAA has been uploaded to this notice as an attachment and should be referenced for submissions in relation to the BAA.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This record is in a solicitation stage, so submission instructions, evaluation factors, attachments and amendments should be reviewed before a bid/no-bid decision.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
No Set aside used is recorded as the set-aside or restriction. Confirm the bidding entity actually satisfies the applicable program and size requirements before investing proposal time.
NAICS 541715 · PSC AC33 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.
The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.

Before deciding to bid
GovBidFit is independent and is not a U.S. government website. GovBidFit stores a structured mirror of SAM.gov public opportunity data in its own database and keeps the compact snapshot as a fallback. The official SAM.gov notice remains the controlling source. The official SAM.gov notice controls if anything here differs from the source or a later amendment.
