    NANS BAA FAQ_APR2025.pdf
    The FY24/25 Naval Aviation North Stars (NANS) Enterprise-Wide Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is issued by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to solicit innovative research, rapid prototyping, demonstration, and experimentation projects. The primary objective is to identify prototype solutions that enhance integrated warfighting capabilities through Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) test and evaluation, potentially culminating in a Naval Experiment or Joint Force Exercise. Key focus areas include Cyber Resilient Secure Communications, Data and Communications Networks, Multi-Domain Awareness, Contested Logistics, Digital Transformation, and Long-Range Fires. The NANS BAA differs from the NAWCAD BAA by extending across the entire NAVAIR enterprise, channeling solutions to the most appropriate stakeholders. White papers and proposals are evaluated based on Mission Impact, Technical Maturity/Approach, and Cost/Affordability. Non-traditional defense contractors are encouraged to participate. The government seeks to acquire at least Government Purpose Rights (GPR) to noncommercial technical data and computer software. Interested vendors can contact the BAA coordinator, attend Industry Day events, and find more information on the official NAVAIR website and sam.gov. The BAA remains open until September 3, 2025, for white paper submissions, with multiple submissions allowed. Awards can be FAR procurement contracts or Non-FAR Other Transaction Agreements, with Firm Fixed Priced milestones preferred. Follow-on production contracts are possible if prototype projects are successfully completed.
