Description

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office (CWMD) is announcing to business and academia its intent to solicit Research and Development (R&D) proposals under this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). This BAA is contemplated in Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 6.102(d)(2) and 35.016. Responses from proposers will be requested in the form of white papers and/or proposals in response to the various Areas of Interest (AOI) under this BAA.
