Additional Information of Eligibility:
The following guidance is provided for Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) contemplating submitting a proposal in response to a solicitation, as either a prime or subcontractor.
FAR 35.107-1(c)(4) prohibits an FFRDC from competing with any non-FFRDC concern in response to a Federal agency request for proposal for other than the operation of an FFRDC (with exceptions stated in DFARS 235.017-1(c)(4)).
There is no regulation prohibiting an FFRDC from responding to a solicitation issued under this MAA.
However, the FFRDC's sponsoring agency must first make a determination that the effort being proposed falls within the purpose, mission, general scope of effort, or special competency of the FFRDC, and that determination must be included in the FFRDC's proposal.
In addition, AFRL must make a determination that the work proposed would not place the FFRDC in direct competition with domestic private industry.
Only after these determinations are made, would a determination be made concerning the FFRDC's eligibility to receive an award.
Notice to Foreign-Owned Firms: Such firms are asked to immediately notify the Contracting Officer identified in the solicitation before deciding to respond.
Foreign contractors should be award that restrictions might apply which could preclude their participation.
