This BAA is a follow-on to BAA FA8750-17-S-7004 Knowledge Aided GEOINT Latency Reduction (KAGLR) BAA ESTIMATED FUNDING:  Total funding for this BAA is approximately $99.9M.  Individual awards will not normally exceed 24 months with dollar amounts normally ranging from $250K to $10M.  There is also the potential to make awards up to any dollar value as long as the value does not exceed the available BAA ceiling amount.

TYPE OF INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY BE AWARDED: Procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements or other transactions (OT) depending upon the nature of the work proposed. In the event that an Other Transaction for Prototype agreement is awarded as a result of this competitive BAA, and the prototype project is successfully completed, there is the potential for a prototype project to transition to award of a follow-on production contract or transaction. The Other Transaction for Prototype agreement itself will also contain a similar notice of a potential follow-on production contract or agreement.
