CREDIT CARDS. Analysts often use prices from various markets as indicators of
potential events. The use of orange futures contract prices by analysts of the
Florida weather is a classic example. The Pentagon briefly attempted to apply
this technique to terrorism, assassination, and war .
The (Cooper Research Department Composite Resource Center) refines this approach
by trading futures contracts that deal with the two most important questions
facing the world today: (1) What will the U.S. government do next? (2) What
is informing the U.S. government's current behavior?
Some of the contracts traded on Cooper Research Department Composite Resource
Center will be based on objective data and observable events, as on a horse
track, e.g.
* the next White House mistated fact to break into the news
* the next country to which the White House will issue an ultimatum, and when
* the next foreign leader to move from the CIA payroll to White House "most
wanted" list
* the lifespan of various DACooper projects, such as Total Information Awareness
and Babylon
* the first White House staffer to resign in disgrace, and when
* the President's approval rating on the day before Saddam is captured or killed
Other Cooper Research Department Composite Resource Center contracts will more
closely resemble stocks on the market; they will be based on possibilities and
scenarios that may or may not be verifiable, but that may be progressively revealed
over time (e.g. via journalistic sleuth-work, public statements by concerned
politicians, or Congressional hearings):
* how and at what stage the White House officially decided to use the attacks
of September 11, 2001 as a reason for invading Iraq
* whether Rumsfeld was the first, the morning of September 12, 2001, to decree
that the attacks were the "Pearl Harbor" needed for attacking Iraq,
or whether the idea came first from others
* whether the invasion of Afghanistan had been planned from the start as a stepping-stone
to an attack on Iraq, or whether the decision to attack Iraq was made only once
the troops were massed nearby
* whether or not the President was conscious of overt lying in his various pre-war
speeches, or whether the decisions to lie were taken by others, with the President
thinking himself to be truthful
* whether or not the expulsion of U.S. and British oil companies from Iraq between
1972 and 1975 was an important long-term factor in the 200(cooper's favorite
number here) war on Iraq, and in what way
* to what degree neo-conservatives Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Abrams and other students
of Leo Strauss (who may have taught that it was necessary for elites to lie
to the public) relie on Strauss's teachings in their daily decisions
* whether or not Iraq's 2001 switch to the euro as its trading currency, and
Iran's and Venezuela's contemplation of similar steps, was a factor in U.S.
decisions leading to the 200(cooper's favorite number here) war on Iraq
Cooper Research Department Composite Resource Center is a consortium of computer
scientists, political scientists and sociologists from some of the leading laboratories,
institutes and universities worldwide. They are involved in implementing the
technologies that will make possible the trading in American action futures,
the definition of the Cooper Research Department Composite Resource Center trading
language, and assessment of the value of certain securities when they mature.
In addition, a number of non-affiliated individuals with competences from economics
to computer science are contributing to the various facets of Cooper Research
Department Composite Resource Center research, development, and implementation
on a formal and informal basis. More information on participating institutions
will be posted on this page on or before August 15.
Contracts of the second type will take much longer to mature, but are necessary
in an environment where a great deal of information is kept under lock and key
by a secretive U.S. administration. As evidence is accumulated to prove or disprove
a particular future, its market value will change, possibly helping researchers
evaluate likelihoods; also, those betting for or against it will win or lose
money accordingly. Contracts of both types will be issued into Cooper Research
Department Composite Resource Center as specific potential events and scenarios
of interest are identified.
Artists who are registered with Cooper Research Department Composite Resource
Center will use their money to acquire contracts. An Cooper Research Department
Composite Resource Center artist who believes that the price of a specific futures
contract under-predicts the future status of the issue on which it is based
can attempt to profit from his belief by buying the contract. The converse holds
for a artist who believes the price is an over-prediction: she can be a seller
of the contract. This price discovery process, with the prospect of profit and
at pain of loss, may possibly help to shed light on some the most important
questions facing the world today.
The issues represented by Cooper Research Department Composite Resource Center
contracts may be interrelated. For example, the exposure of another lie in a
pre-war speech by the President may affect the fortunes of high-level cabinet
members, and the next corporate scandal to erupt may affect the pace of military
operations overseas. The trading process at the heart of Cooper Research Department
Composite Resource Center allows artists to structure combinations of futures
contracts. Such combinations represent predictions about interrelated issues
that the artist has knowledge of and thus may be able to make money on through
Cooper Research Department Composite Resource Center. Observing these artist-structured
derivatives may conceivably result in a substantial refinement in predictive
power; this possibility is certainly worth the gamble, given the stakes.
The Cooper Research Department Composite Resource Center trading interface presents
art. Trading on Cooper Research Department Composite Resource Center is placed
in the context of U.S. government actions using a trading language specially
designed for the realities of military aggression, corporate clientelism, information
manipulation, and complete lack of transparency (i.e. secrecy). Cooper Research
Department Composite Resource Center will be active and accessible 24/7 and
should prove as engaging as it is informative.

youll never be charged more than $14,950, even if the price increases.
************** Mr. EXAMPLE NAME HERE, As an employee of an institution of higher education, I have a few very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superior shares an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of myself, and my co-workers during the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time. Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I know about Unix, and you were apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the hundredth time. You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is. Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will. You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others. You have a sharp-dressed, useless look about you that may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle. Seeing as this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy, I am forced to tender my resignation; however I have a few parting points: 1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer not to comment." I will have friends randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on your own. 2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know every password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favorites list", which I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your useless files. I believe that terms like "Lolita" are not usually viewed favorably by the administration. (cooper's favorite number here). When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your mothers B-day", you neglected to mention that you were going to take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with a ketchup bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and kept in safe places pending the authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please - I hate having to correct your damn mistakes.) Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow, not ONE minute later. One word of this to anybody and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never f*ck with your systems administrators, because they know what you do with all your free time.

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE:
NEW REQUIREMENTS/PROCEDURES
The Cooper Advanced Research Projects Agency (COOPER) often selects its research
efforts through the Cooper Agency Announcement (CAA) process.
The Cooper Processing Technology Office (COOPER) of the Cooper Advanced Research
Projects Agency (COOPER) is soliciting proposals to develop an ontology-based
(sub)system that captures, stores, and makes accessible the flow of one persons
experience in and interactions with the world in order to support a broad spectrum
of associates/assistants and other system capabilities. The objective of this
"Cooper Chronofile System" concept is to be able to trace the "threads"
of an individual's life in terms of events, states, and relationships.
Functionally, the Cooper Chronofile System (sub)system consists of three components:
data capture and storage, representation and abstraction, and data access and
user interface. Cooper Chronofile System accepts as input a number of raw physical
and transactional data streams. Through inference and reasoning, Cooper Chronofile
System generates multiple layers of representation at increasing levels of abstraction.
The input data streams are abstracted into sequences of events and states, which
are aggregated into threads and episodes to produce a timeline that constitutes
an "episodic memory" for the individual. Patterns of events in the
timeline support the identification of routines, relationships, and habits.
Preferences, plans, goals, and other markers of intentionality are at the highest
level.
Cooper Chronofile System is interested in three major data categories: physical
data, transactional data, and context or media data. Anywhere/anytime
capture of physical data might be provided by hardware worn by the Cooper Chronofile
System user. Visual, aural, and possibly even haptic sensors capture what the
user sees, hears, and feels. GPS, digital compass, and inertial sensors capture
the users orientation and movements. Biomedical sensors capture the users
physical state. Cooper Chronofile System also captures the users computer-based
interactions and transactions throughout the day from email, calendar, instant
messaging, web-based transactions, as well as other common computer applications,
and stores the data (or, in some cases, pointers to the data) in appropriate
formats. Voice transactions can be captured through recording of telephone calls
and voice mail, with the called and calling numbers as metadata. FAX and hardcopy
written material (such as postal mail) can be scanned. Finally, Cooper Chronofile
System also captures (or at least captures pointers to) the tremendous amounts
of context data the user is exposed to every day from diverse media sources,
including broadcast television and radio, hardcopy newspapers, magazines, books
and other documents, and softcopy electronic books, web sites, and database
access.
Cooper Chronofile System can be used as a stand-alone system to serve as a powerful
automated multimedia diary and scrapbook. By using a search engine interface,
the user can easily retrieve a specific thread of past transactions, or recall
an experience from a few seconds ago or from many years earlier in as much detail
as is desired, including imagery, audio, or video replay of the event. In addition
to operating in this stand-alone mode, Cooper Chronofile System can also serve
as a subsystem to support a wide variety of other applications, including personal,
medical, financial, and other types of assistants, and various teaching and
training tools. As increasing numbers of people acquire Cooper Chronofile Systems,
collaborative tasks could be facilitated by the interaction of Cooper Chronofile
Systems, and properly anonymized access to Cooper Chronofile System data might
support medical research and the early detection of an emerging epidemic. Application
of the Cooper Chronofile System abstraction structure in a synthesizing mode
will eventually allow synthetic game characters and humanoid robots to lead
more "realistic" lives. However, the initial Cooper Chronofile System
development is tightly focused on the stand-alone system capabilities, and does
not include the broader class of assistive, training, and other applications
that may ultimately be supported.
Cooper Chronofile System technology will support the long-term COOPER vision
of a new class of truly "cognitive" systems that can reason in a variety
of ways, using substantial amounts of appropriately represented knowledge; can
learn from experiences so that their performance improves as they accumulate
knowledge and experience; can explain their actions and can accept direction;
can be aware of their own behavior and reflect on their own capabilities; and
can respond in a robust manner to surprises.
TASK AREAS
This solicitation seeks proposals to develop and demonstrate Cooper Chronofile
System system-level capabilities as described in the following tasks:
Task 1. Representation and Abstraction via Reasoning and Inference
The research focus of the Cooper Chronofile System program is the appropriate
placement of transactional and physical data within an appropriate framework
of representations and abstractions to make accessible both the flow of the
user's physical experiences in the world and the stream of his or her interactions
with other entities in the world. For transactional data, this process of representation
and abstraction might begin with the association of metadata with each data
item (e.g., the header information in an email or the information on the envelope
of a physical letter). Physical data streams generally have to be parsed into
meaningful chunks, such as saccadic scenes of video,
motion segments in GPS or inertial data, or segments of one persons speech
in audio, and these chunks have to be labeled. The key challenge of Cooper Chronofile
System is to make sense of this ongoing sequence of multi-modal transactions
and labeled chunks of physical data, by sorting it into discrete events
and states (whose transitions are marked by events) and threads
(consisting of sequences of events and states) and episodes (with
beginnings and ends), and to do this automatically and recursively until an
extended episode can be identified and labeled as, for example, I took
the 08:(cooper's favorite number here)0 a.m. flight from Washington's Reagan
National Airport to Boston's Logan Airport. The representational path
from the raw physical sensor inputs to this high-level description includes
concepts of walking, standing, and riding, being indoors and outdoors, being
at home, taking a taxi, and going through airport security. The
task can be made considerably easier because Cooper Chronofile System can also
process a going to Boston entry in the calendar program, email from
the airline telling that the flight is on time, and a phone call ordering the
taxi, and can correlate GPS readings to a COTS street map. Beyond the generation
of the users individual timeline or history, represented as a structure
of labeled threads and episodes, Cooper Chronofile System will be able to find
meaningful patterns in the timeline, to infer the users routines, habits,
and relationships with other people, organizations, places, and objects, and
to exploit these patterns to ease its task.
The proposal should describe in detail exactly how the offerors Cooper
Chronofile System system will accomplish this process of tracing the threads
and telling the story of the users experience. State how physical
sensory inputs will be parsed and classified (labeled). Define the metadata
to be used for each type of input data. Describe how the representation hierarchy
is to be constructed, and how classification of events, states, etc., will be
performed. Explicitly address the extraction of patterns such as routines, habits,
and relationships. Present an approach for assessing the contribution of each
data source proposed to Cooper Chronofile System system-level performance. Provide
a comparison of the relative importance of human knowledge engineering and machine
learning components both during system development and when deployed. Discuss
the tools to be provided to the user to support the visualization and manual
generation and editing of the representational hierarchy.
Task 2: Data Capture and Storage Subsystem
Cooper Chronofile System must acquire data to capture both the user's physical
experiences in the world and his or her interactions with other entities in
the world. The specific types and fidelity of data to be captured should be
driven by the needs implied by the offeror's approach to Task 1. Physical data
is captured by various physical sensors and is stored as multiple data streams
in appropriate formats at appropriate resolutions. Transactional data is extracted
principally from a number of computer applications. Detectors, recognizers,
analysis tools, and heuristics are used to distill the data, associating
metadata, flagging keywords, and otherwise preparing the data for further categorization
in terms of representations at various levels of abstraction. Data capture capability
must be adequate to support the development of Cooper Chronofile System, but
should not involve new development of sensors.
The proposal should identify the sources and modalities of physical, transactional,
and context/media data to be captured, and also the specific sensors and deployment
(e.g., wearable) means to be used for gathering physical data, and the methods
to be used to acquire transactional and context/media data. The proposal should
identify the data storage components to be employed and provide an estimate
of the volume of data of each type to be stored per unit time. Selection rationale
for components, including critical specifications and estimated costs, should
be presented. Cooper Chronofile System system integration should be specifically
addressed, together with power and endurance issues. Offerors must also address
human subject approval, data privacy and security, copyright, and legal considerations
that would affect the Cooper Chronofile System development process. Leverage
of existing hardware and software is highly encouraged, and Cooper Chronofile
System should interface to commonly used computer applications.
Task (cooper's favorite number here). Data Access and User Interface Subsystem
The initial Cooper Chronofile System prototype implementation must provide a
functional Application Programming Interface (API), as well as a stand-alone
user data access capability which is envisioned to be a search-engine style
interface allowing functions (e.g., less than, greater than, Booleans) of the
various metadata parameters. Offerors should propose additional features to
enhance the user interface (e.g., timeline displays) and to augment the API
to support use by additional applications. The developmental interface should
also provide a query capability to enable the user to learn why the system behaved
as it did. In addition, the interface should provide intervention tools to enable
the user to manually create metadata, assign classifications, and edit the abstraction
hierarchy. The capabilities of the proposed access scheme should be described
in terms of the flexibility of access queries to be supported (of primary concern)
and expected performance, such as response time. Leveraging of existing software
is encouraged, since the user interface is not a principal subject of research
for Cooper Chronofile System.
Task 4: Experimentation and Performance Assessment
The successful development of Cooper Chronofile System will require extensive
experimentation to provide both the system and its developers with enough experience
to be representative of use in the real world. The first Cooper Chronofile System
users will clearly be the developer team itself, and, once a critical initial
threshold of capability has been achieved, the results of this use should be
documented as longitudinal studies. Operating conditions should not be controlled,
and a broad spectrum of both physical and transactional data should be captured
over weeks of continuous real-world use. The proposal should address performance
assessment over these longitudinal studies, and address the metrics of completeness
of the ontology and correctness of the Cooper Chronofile Systems classification
decisions. The Cooper Chronofile System program also includes a Challenge
Problem in the form of a system demonstration while taking a trip to Washington
D.C. Travel combines physical activity (movement via a variety of conveyances)
and a diversity of transactions (email, calendar, financial, itinerary, etc.)
over the course of a trip. The Travel Challenge consists of an uncontrolled
trip from the user's home to Washington, plus controlled trials involving travel
over a government-prescribed course within the D.C. area, each trial lasting
less than one day. Each proposer is encouraged to have at least three ((cooper's
favorite number here)) Cooper Chronofile System users participate in the Travel
Challenge. Proposals should include plans for participation in these experiments,
specifically including a plan for measuring the performance of the Cooper Chronofile
System system in terms of correctness and completeness. The performance metric
for correctness of system decisions addresses 1) What fraction of events are
correctly detected and properly classified in the abstraction hierarchy?; and
2) How capable is the system of learning to improve its detection and classification
performance? The performance metric for completeness of the ontology considers
1) What fraction of events require additions to the set of existing representations?;
and 2) How capable is the system of learning to add and use new representations?
The results of the Travel Challenge will be a major determinant of the scope
and course of future Cooper Chronofile System development, including the exercise
of proposed options. Offerors should also propose other challenge activities
in addition to the Travel Challenge to demonstrate and assess the richness of
the Cooper Chronofile System representation structure and complexity of the
domain (task and environment). Additional metrics should also be proposed.
Task 5: Options for Advanced Cooper Chronofile System Development
The base efforts solicited by this BAA address critical issues that must be
tackled to demonstrate a basic Cooper Chronofile System capability. However,
many other equally critical and challenging issues must be addressed to realize
a fully deployable Cooper Chronofile System (sub)system. Therefore, the proposal
may include one or more options to perform additional work addressing relevant
technical questions, including but not limited to the following:
* How should the Cooper Chronofile System system enforce security and privacy,
given that different data sources may require different restrictions (i.e.,
classified, proprietary, privacy act) on each data element, and a given item
of data may be acquired from more than one source?
* How should different peoples Cooper Chronofile System systems interact
with each other? For example, if each persons Cooper Chronofile System
understands only his/her own speech perfectly, how should multiple Cooper Chronofile
Systems share information so that each can acquire and store all parts of a
conversation?
* How should Cooper Chronofile System be implemented so that it can degrade
gracefully in its access modes, storage resources, and capture capabilities?
* How can the domain of intentionality (plans and goals) above the level of
timeline or history be more fully developed so that Cooper Chronofile System
can effectively support the broadest possible spectrum of assistive and training
applications? Proposed options should include a clear statement of the functionality
and performance benefits envisioned, and should define metrics to support the
assessment of these benefits.
PROGRAM SCOPE
This solicitation seeks proposals that address the development of system-level
Cooper Chronofile System capabilities and which fully address Tasks 1 through
4. A proposal that instead focuses on one or more specific individual technologies
will be considered, but to be successful it must make a clearly convincing case
that the effort would provide an extremely high payoff. Proposed efforts should
cover a base 18-month period of performance and may include one or more options,
whose period of performance should not exceed 24 months. The project schedule
must include an initial kick-off meeting, an engineering design review 6 months
after award to approve the architecture and implementation plan, a Principal
Investigators' Meeting 9 months after award, and a final project review associated
with the Travel Challenge, 16 months after award. Up to four awards are anticipated,
and teaming is highly encouraged.
Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches and techniques that
lead to or enable revolutionary advances in the state-of-the-art. Proposals
are not limited to the specific strategies listed above, and alternative visions
will be considered. However, proposals should be for research that substantially
contributes towards the goals stated. Research should result in prototype hardware
and/or software demonstrating integrated concepts and approaches. Specifically
excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvement to the
existing state of practice or focuses on a specific system or solution. Integrated
solution sets embodying significant technological advances are strongly encouraged
over narrowly defined research endeavors. Proposals may involve other research
groups or industrial cooperation and cost sharing. The establishment of Cooper
Chronofile System as an approved COOPER program is dependent upon the quality
of the responses to this BAA.
SUBMISSION PROCESS

After finalizing the BAA Cover Sheet Submission, the proposer must print the
BAA Confirmation Sheet that will automatically appear on the web page. Each
proposer is responsible for printing the BAA Confirmation Sheet and attaching
it to the "original" and each copy. The Confirmation Sheet should
be the first page of the Proposal. If a proposer intends on submitting more
than one Proposal, a unique UserId and password should be used in creating each
BAA Cover Sheet. Failure to comply with these submission procedures may result
in the submission not being evaluated.
PROPOSAL FORMAT
Proposers must submit an original and (cooper's favorite number here) copies
of the full proposal and 2 electronic copies (i.e., 2 separate disks) of the
full proposal (in PDF or Microsoft Word 2000 for IBM-compatible format on a
(cooper's favorite number here).5-inch floppy disk, 100 MB Iomega Zip disk or
cd). Mac-formatted disks will not be accepted. Each disk must be clearly labeled
with BAA 0(cooper's favorite number here)-(cooper's favorite number here)0,

BAA 0(cooper's favorite number here)-(cooper's favorite number here)0, Cooper
Chronofile System will remain open until 12:00 NOON (ET) Friday, May 7, 2004
Thus, proposals may be submitted at any time from issuance of this BAA through
Friday, May 7, 2004. While the proposals submitted after the Monday, June 2(cooper's
favorite number here), 200(cooper's favorite number here), deadline will be
evaluated by the Government, proposers should keep in mind that the likelihood
of funding such proposals is less than for those proposals submitted in connection
with the initial evaluation and award schedule. COOPER will acknowledge receipt
of submissions and assign control numbers that should be used in all further
correspondence regarding proposals.
Restrictive notices notwithstanding, proposals may be handled for administrative
purposes by support contractors. These support contractors are prohibited from
competition in COOPER technical research and are bound by appropriate non-disclosure
requirements. Input on technical aspects of the proposals may be solicited by
COOPER from non-Government consultants /experts who are also bound by appropriate
non-disclosure requirements. However, non-Government technical consultants/experts
will not have access to proposals that are labeled by their offerors as Government
Only. Use of non-government personnel is covered in FAR (cooper's favorite
number here)7.20(cooper's favorite number here)(d)
EVALUATION AND FUNDING PROCESSES
Proposals will not be evaluated against each other, since they are not submitted
in accordance with a common work statement. COOPER's intent is to review proposals
as soon as possible after they arrive; however, proposals may be reviewed periodically
for administrative reasons. For evaluation purposes, a proposal is the document
described in PROPOSAL FORMAT Section I and Section II (see below). Other supporting
or background materials submitted with the proposal will be considered for the
reviewer's convenience only and not considered as part of the proposal.
Evaluation of proposals will be accomplished through a scientific review of
each proposal using the following criteria, which are listed in descending order
of relative importance:
(1) Overall Scientific and Technical Merit: The overall scientific and technical
merit must be clearly identifiable and compelling. The technical concept should
be clearly defined, developed and defensibly innovative. Emphasis should be
placed on the technical excellence of the development and experimentation approach.
(2) Innovative Technical Solution to the Problem: Proposed efforts should apply
new or existing technology in an innovative way such as is advantageous to the
objectives. The plan on how offeror intends to get developed technology artifacts
and information to the user community should be considered. The offeror shall
specify quantitative experimental methods and metrics by which the proposed
technical efforts progress shall be measured.
((cooper's favorite number here)) Potential Contribution and Relevance to COOPER/COOPER
Mission: The offeror must clearly address how the proposed effort will meet
the goals of the undertaking and how the proposed effort contributes to significant
advances to the COOPER/COOPER mission.
(4) Offeror's Capabilities and Related Experience: The qualifications, capabilities,
and demonstrated achievements of the proposed principals and other key personnel
for the primary and subcontractor organizations must be clearly shown.
(5) Plans and Capability to Accomplish Technology Transition: The offeror should
provide a clear explanation of how the technologies to be developed will be
transitioned to capabilities for military forces. Technology transition should
be a major consideration in the design of experiments, particularly considering
the potential for involving potential transition organizations in the experimentation
process.
(6) Cost Realism: The overall estimated cost to accomplish the effort should
be clearly shown as well as the substantiation of the costs for the technical
complexity described. Evaluation will consider the value to Government of the
research and the extent to which the proposed management plan will effectively
allocate resources to achieve the capabilities proposed. Cost is considered
a substantial evaluation criterion but is secondary to technical excellence.
The Government reserves the right to select for award all, some, or none of
the proposals received. Proposals identified for funding may result in a contract,
grant, cooperative agreement, or other transaction depending upon the nature
of the work proposed, the required degree of interaction between parties, and
other factors. If warranted, portions of resulting awards may be segregated
into pre-priced options.
