FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA)
DPA Title III Funding Opportunity Announcement
In July 2019, the Defense Production Act Title III Program Office, working with the Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, AFRL/RX, issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit proposals for production technology projects. The FOA is in effect until July 12, 2024, and is divided into two paths to allow for maximum flexibility and increased industry engagement.
The first path is the Open FOA, which allows white papers to be submitted by industry at any time. Submitted white papers are on a topic of industry’s choosing, however they must align within one of DPA Title III’s focus areas: sustainment of critical production, commercialization of research and development investments, and scaling of emerging technologies. The second path is the FOA with Calls, in which Calls for proposals may be issued by the government to industry. These Calls represent vetted and validated government requirements that similarly align with one of the three focus areas. By adopting a two-path model, the DPA Title III Program is able to pursue ideas from both government and industry and address specific topics for proposals.
