Cost estimates for travel to the sponsoring activitys facility for one day of meetings are recommended for all proposals and required for proposals submitted to MARCOR, NAVSEA, and SPAWAR. The Navy encourages proposers to include, within the 25-page limit, an option which furthers the effort and will bridge the funding gap between Phase I and the Phase II start. Phase I options are typically exercised upon the decision to fund the Phase II. For NAVAIR topics N091-006 thru N091-043 the base amount should not exceed $80,000 and 6 months; the option should not exceed $70,000 and 6 months. For all other Navy topics the base effort should not exceed $70,000 and 6 months; the option should not exceed $30,000 and 3 months. PROPOSALS THAT HAVE A HIGHER DOLLAR AMOUNT THAN ALLOWED FOR THAT TOPIC WILL BE CONSIDERED NON-RESPONSIVE.The Navy will evaluate and select Phase I proposals using the evaluation criteria in section 4.2 of the DoD solicitation in descending order of importance with technical merit being most important, followed by the qualifications, and followed by commercialization potential. Due to limited funding, the Navy reserves the right to limit awards under any topic, and only proposals considered to be of superior quality will be funded.One week after solicitation closing, e-mail notifications confirming that proposals have been received and processed for evaluation.
