The Air Force Research Laboratory (Directed Energy Directorate) has a five-year closed Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for High Power Electromagnetics (HPEM) modeling and effects research. Actual proposals are requested through separate CALLs issued in SAM.gov over time. This notice only sets up the umbrella BAA.
Watch out for
- No guarantee of any CALL. The Government may issue no CALLs at all for a topic, so waiting on this BAA may not lead to a chance to bid.
The Government also reserves the right to issue no CALLs for any given technology area.
- Research and development work. This is a research BAA, which usually needs scientific or engineering credentials and technical proposals rather than a simple price quote.

Full notice text from SAM.gov
This is a five (5) year Closed One-Step BAA with CALLs that will be utilized to solicit proposals for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Directed Energy Directorate (DE), High Power Electromagnetic Division (RDH), for research areas of interest for High Power Electromagnetics (HPEM) Modeling and Effects. This closed BAA approach allows for proposal submission at a specified date and time, which will be posted through the issuance of CALLs at various times against this BAA. As requirements within the technical topic areas are identified, CALLs will be issued in SAM.gov to request proposals for specific research efforts. Multiple subsequent CALLs are anticipated and may be announced sequentially or concurrently in SAM.gov. CALLs will be issued unrestricted. The Government reserves the right to re-issue previously announced CALL areas with a second, subsequent submittal period. The Government also reserves the right to issue no CALLs for any given technology area.
