Description
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) titled “Aviation Research BAA 2025” (Solicitation ID 692M15-25‑R‑00004). The BAA is open for a ten‑year period beginning December 5 2024 and closing December 4 2034. It solicits white‑paper submissions (and subsequent proposals) on a variety of aviation‑related research topics, including cybersecurity for autonomous ground vehicles, hydrogen aviation safety, pilot decision‑making, pavement engineering, and structural integrity of metallic components. Offerors may submit white papers at any time; the FAA will review them within 60 days and may request full proposals if the work aligns with mission needs and funding is available. Awards are typically made under Other Transaction Agreements or firm‑fixed‑price contracts, with cost‑sharing possible. The BAA encourages participation from industry, academia, small businesses, and historically under‑represented firms.
