Research Project on DoD Office of Net Assessment Contract Management

Abstract

The ONA uses Broad Agency Announcements (BAA) to award research contracts. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) describes a BAA as a notice from the government requesting scientific or research proposals from the public concerning areas of interest to the government that may lead to contracts.1 The ONA used WHS contracting officers to award research contracts to Professor Halper. 2 Unlike traditional contracting, where the statement of work is developed by the DoD, under BAAs the proposal submitted by the contractor becomes the contracts statement of work.
