Opportunity Information: Apply for W911QY20R0022

The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Soldier Center Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is an open, long-running research and development solicitation issued by the Department of Defense through ACC APG - Natick. It is published under Funding Opportunity Number W911QY20R0022 (CFDA 64.054) and is intended to collect white papers and full proposals for grant and other assistance agreement funding that supports the Soldier Center's science and technology priorities. Unlike a typical grant notice that funds a single defined project, this BAA serves as an umbrella solicitation that stays available for a multi-year period so the government can evaluate, negotiate, and award assistance agreements for a range of innovative ideas aligned to the Soldier Center mission.

A key point is that the posting is not tied to one specific requirement, deliverable list, or single program. Instead, it invites interested organizations to propose research concepts within the BAA's stated areas of interest, following the instructions in the solicitation document itself. In practice, BAAs are used when the government wants to encourage novel approaches and technical solutions, especially for applied research, advanced technology development, prototypes, demonstrations, and related efforts that could improve military capabilities. For this opportunity, the focus is tied to the Soldier Center, which generally means technology and knowledge that can improve soldier performance, survivability, sustainment, and effectiveness, though the exact topics, technical focus areas, and proposal rules are contained in the BAA document.

The opportunity is listed as a discretionary program with a funding instrument type of "Other," reflecting that awards may be made as grants or other assistance agreements rather than as standard procurement contracts. The listing shows an anticipated 50 awards, but it does not specify a single maximum award size (the award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates the ceiling is not set at the posting level and may vary by topic, funding availability, and negotiated scope). Because BAAs often operate by evaluating submissions as they are received (or within defined cycles), the actual number, size, and timing of awards can vary based on the quality of proposals, the Army's priorities, and available funds.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility conditions that may be described in the full solicitation text. That typically includes entities such as universities, nonprofit research organizations, small and large businesses, and other institutions that can perform relevant research and development. The standard path for participation is to submit an initial white paper (or concept paper) that outlines the technical idea, relevance to the Soldier Center needs, the approach, expected outcomes, rough cost and schedule, and the qualifications of the team. If the government sees potential alignment and merit, applicants may then be invited or encouraged to submit a more detailed full proposal for consideration.

The posting indicates the BAA was created on June 2, 2020, with an original closing date of February 28, 2025, signaling a multi-year window for submissions. That long open period is typical for BAAs and is meant to support ongoing outreach and continuous intake of promising ideas rather than forcing all applicants into a single short deadline. Anyone interested should rely on the BAA solicitation document for the authoritative submission instructions, including how and where to submit, formatting requirements, evaluation criteria, required proposal components, compliance items, and any topic-specific timelines or submission gates.
