Grant Description

White Paper and Full Proposal submissions will not be accepted from organizations that have not registered. Any organization that wishes to participate in this solicitation must register at https://baa.st.dhs.gov before the due date and time established in this BAA. There will be no exceptions. It is very important to follow the registration instructions. Offerors who have not registered by the mandatory White Paper website registration deadline will not be permitted to submit a White Paper and thus will not be able to submit a proposal later. Offerors must coordinate with all members of their team to ensure the registration process is done correctly and in a timely manner. To begin the registration process, go to https://baa.st.dhs.gov and select BAA 09-05 from the list on the left side of the screen then select the appropriate topic area. Upon proper selection, buttons for registration and submission will appear. Select the appropriate registration button and fill in the requisite fields, then submit your registration for White Paper (or Full Proposal) submission. Once the registration process is complete, registrants will receive a control identification number via email. This control number is necessary to begin the White Paper submission process. It is not used internally at DHS to track your paper (a new number is generated once your submission has been received thought the website and that is what is tracked for the review by the Advisory Committee and release to an SME for evaluation).
