Description

Primary Latest Change

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving white papers and full proposals in support of the development of an advanced power system architecture. This system, consisting of controls, power conversion, and energy storage, will modify and condition the transient power demand profile of shipboard mission loads to ensure compatibility with ship service power generating system capabilities for present and future Navy ship applications. This BAA call will be awarded under the FY25 ONR Long Range BAA N0001425SB001. Please read the latest Amendment before submitting white papers/proposals.

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is seeking white papers and full proposals to develop an advanced power system architecture aimed at modifying and conditioning the transient power demand profile of shipboard mission loads. This initiative is crucial for ensuring compatibility with the power generating systems of current and future Navy ships. The contract falls under the FY25 ONR Long Range BAA N0001425SB001. Work Details The proposal must include: - Offeror’s capabilities and related experience to achieve the proposal objectives, including integration of novel technologies from universities, small businesses, or emerging commercial sectors. - A Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate. - A resume of the principal investigator, limited to one page, should follow the five-page body of the white paper. - Government Furnished Information (GFI) includes a mission load power profile, notional DC shunt and series topologies, TRL definitions and assessment criteria, and relevant technical documentation to support proposal development. Period of Performance The period of performance for projects will be two years, with an optional full-scale prototype detailed design period also lasting two years from the date of option contract award. Place of Performance The geographic location for performance is not explicitly stated in the solicitation.
