ONHS Funding Opportunity Report
Solicitation ID: N6893626R5014
Agency: NAVAIR/NAWCWD
Federally Funded Research & Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. However, teaming arrangements between FFRDCs and eligible principal proposers are allowed so long as such arrangements are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) at China Lake, CA, has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA N6893626R5014) open until September 30, 2027, soliciting proposals for basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development to improve Navy and Marine Corps operations. Key technical areas of interest include aerospace science (advanced propulsion, energetic materials, high-speed weapons, batteries/power systems) and air warfare applications (enhanced weapons systems, future naval capabilities, high-density reactive materials). All responsible sources from academia and industry are eligible to submit proposals, with teaming arrangements encouraged. FFRDCs and other government labs are not eligible to receive awards directly but may participate as team members. The submission process encourages a preliminary 'White Paper' before a full proposal. Awards may be issued as contracts, cooperative agreements, or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs), and will be evaluated based on technical merit, naval relevance, offeror capabilities, and cost realism.
