Advance Planning Briefing for Industry. Technology Requirements Briefings
Abstract
The Advanced Planning Briefing for Industry (APBI) is sponsored by the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO). APBI provides representatives of industry, Government, entrepreneurs, and associated developers with a preview of the requirements that are identified for publication in the CTTSO annual Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). Attendees are encouraged to talk with contracts, program, and technical staff to ensure a full understanding of these requirements. This is the only opportunity for direct discussions regarding the solicitations. The BAA is implemented in three phases to minimize costs for submitters. Phase 1 requires a one-page Quad Chart that conveys the essence of the proposed solution for a single requirement. Phase 2 submissions are White Papers (not to exceed 12 pages) for accepted Phase 1 submissions. For accepted Phase 2 submissions, Phase 3 consists of a Full Technical Proposal (not to exceed 50 pages) and detailed cost information. Phase 1 submissions can be selected for Phase 3 if funding is available and the mission priority warrants an accelerated process. Finalized requirements are published in one annual BAA. The BAA is officially announced on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. All responses to the BAA and submitter notifications including next phase submission requests are processed in BIDS. Questions regarding any BAA requirement shall be directed to the appropriate BAA contracting office. Questions and answers will be posted in BIDS under FAQs.
