Opportunity Information: Apply for USAFA BAA 2015 CALL 0004
The Department of Defense, Air Force Academy is soliciting research proposals under the funding opportunity titled "Research of Technologies Advancing Corrosion Prevention and Control" (Funding Opportunity Number: USAFA BAA 2015 CALL 0004). The purpose of the call is to support science and technology research and other research and development efforts that improve corrosion prevention and corrosion control, which is a long-standing readiness, safety, and cost driver for military systems and infrastructure. The announcement points applicants to a separate "TWO-STEP CALL ANNOUNCEMENT" document for the full set of technical requirements, submission instructions, and evaluation details, indicating that proposals are expected to follow a staged submission process rather than a single full proposal from the start.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and allows for multiple award mechanisms depending on the nature of the proposed work and the government relationship required, including cooperative agreements, grants, and procurement contracts. That mix generally signals flexibility: some projects may be better suited to an assistance relationship (grant/cooperative agreement) for exploratory research, while others may be structured as acquisitions (procurement contracts) when specific deliverables or direct government benefit and oversight are central. The activity aligns with the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category and is associated with CFDA number 12.800, which commonly covers Department of Defense research programs.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning essentially any type of entity may apply (such as universities, companies, nonprofits, or other organizations), subject to any constraints or clarifications contained in the full text or the referenced two-step call document. In practice, opportunities like this often encourage participation from a wide range of performers, including academic researchers, small businesses, and industry teams, sometimes as collaborations, especially where corrosion prevention work spans materials science, coatings, surface treatments, sensors, modeling, and maintenance practices.
The posting indicates an anticipated portfolio of up to eight awards, with an award ceiling of $3,500,000. While the ceiling represents the maximum size for a single award, the combination of an expected multiple-award outcome and a ceiling typically implies a range of project sizes, with some awards potentially smaller or more narrowly scoped depending on the technical area and maturity level of the proposed approach. The opportunity was created on June 8, 2017, with an original closing date of July 10, 2017, so it was a time-bounded solicitation window requiring timely submission according to the two-step process described in the referenced document.
Overall, this call is best read as an Air Force Academy-led research solicitation aimed at advancing practical and scalable technologies that prevent corrosion, detect it earlier, slow it down, or make mitigation and control more effective and less costly. Anyone preparing to respond would need to rely heavily on the "TWO-STEP CALL ANNOUNCEMENT" attachment for the specific technical focus areas, required proposal format, what constitutes step one versus step two submissions, and how proposals will be evaluated and selected.Apply for USAFA BAA 2015 CALL 0004
