BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA)- Research and Development (R&D) for Air Force Airbase Systems

The Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) is seeking research and development proposals for various topic areas related to airbase systems, including modern timber products, PFAS destruction, arctic campaigning, automated heavy machinery, airbase facilities and infrastructure, airbase operations, civil engineering materials, emergency response and fire protection, infrastructure protection and environmental systems, robotics and automation, and airbase energy and utilities. The BAA is open for 5 years, and CALLs will be issued periodically to request white papers for specific research efforts. Proposals will be evaluated based on their scientific and technical merit, related experience, openness, maturity, and assurance of solution, as well as reasonableness and realism of proposed costs and fees. Some key areas of interest include: • Modern timber products in an expeditionary environment • PFAS destruction • Arctic-capable facilities and infrastructure • Automated heavy machinery • Airbase facilities and infrastructure • Airbase operations • Civil engineering materials • Emergency response and fire protection • Infrastructure protection and environmental systems • Robotics and automation • Airbase energy and utilities
