Attachment 1A

1.	The purpose of this action is to issue a Not-To-Exceed Authority for the Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III Program entitled: “Securing the Only Domestic Antimony Trisulfide Production Capability for Defense Energetic Materials”.

2.	Under the authority of Title III of the DPA of 1950 and as amended, the Air Force has the objective of sustaining the domestic production of antimony trisulfide capability for defense energetic materials.

This undefinitized Technology Investment Agreement (TIA) hereby provides authorization to proceed immediately with the proposed effort, IAW DPA Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) (FA8650-19-S-5010), white paper entitled “Securing the only domestic antimony trisulfide production capability for defense energetic materials” dated 1 November 2022 and attached SOO, at a NTE cost of $24,800,000.00.

4.	The anticipated period of performance, to be negotiated and definitized, for this effort is 27 months, including 24 months for the technical effort and 3 months for delivery of the Final Report.

5.	This effort will support all environmental baseline data monitoring, along with environmental and technical studies that support advancing ancillary permitting efforts, which is critical to national defense and the industrial base, and is of utmost urgency.

6.	The Air Force intends to definitize this NTE TIA via a modification to this Technology Investment Agreement in accordance with the following schedule:

Date for submission of the qualifying proposal: 27 Jan 2023

Date for the start of negotiations: 9 Feb 2023

Target date for definitization: 16 April 2023

7.	Please see Attachment 2, Technology Investment Agreement Definitization. Execution of this undefinitized Technology Investment Agreement NTE certifies and incorporates agreement of this attachment.

Limitation of Government Liability: $18,600,000.00, 75% of the NTE amount, is the amount available to cover requirements prior to definitization. The Recipient shall not incur costs/expend funds (exclusive of recipient cost-share contribution) in excess of this amount without prior written direction by the Government Agreements Officer, identified below. In addition, the Recipient must notify the Agreements Officer when your expenditures reach 75% of this amount prior to definitization. If all funds are expended prior to the end of the term, the parties have no obligation to continue and may elect to cease performance at that point. Only the Agreements Officer has the authority to provide direction.

Attachment 1A

While the Recipient may not exceed the total allotted funding amount of $18,600,000.00 prior to award of a definitive agreement, the amount of the definitive agreement will be negotiated since the initial NTE will be based on a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM); the NTE may only be negotiated downward.

10.	The qualifying proposal for the subject effort, due no later than 27 Jan 2023, should follow the requirement of the DPA FOA referenced above, including, but not limited to, the following:

Proposals must reference the announcement number FA8650-19-S-5010; the relevant Topic Area - Sustainment of Critical Production; the title of this effort and this Technology Investment Agreement number.

Domestic Source Requirement: The proposal must provide proof of meeting the Domestic Source requirement IAW DPA Law.

*Technical Proposal: The technical proposal shall include, as a minimum, 1) Cover Page, 2) Table of Contents, 3) proposed technical approach, to include background / scope / project objectives, and technical discussion, and 4) a project Master Schedule highlighting all significant activities and major project milestones.

*Cost Proposal: The cost proposal volume shall identify any company cost share and list any proposed equipment to be procured. Please provide justification if you do not propose a cost share. The technical and cost proposals, project Master Schedule and Statement of Work shall all be presented in a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) format. Additionally, please provide a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing your cost breakdown as part of your electronic submittal.

*Please follow proposal formats cited in the FOA, Section IV, Open FOA (Two-Step Process), Paragraph 6 Open FOA Proposal (Step Two) Content and Form, with the exception of Paragraph d Proposal Submission. Please electronically submit the technical and cost proposal to the DoD Safe at xxxxx://xxxx.xxxx.xxx/. In order to do so, you must email the Agreements Officer and include the Agreements Negotiator below with a request to invite:

Agreements Officer	Agreements Negotiator
Xxx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx,	Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxx,
AFRL/RXKMT	AFRL/RXKMT
[***]	[***]

One of the above POC's will in turn send the DoD Safe invite via email for you to submit the electronic proposal.

Attachment 1A

The proposal will be evaluated IAW FOA Section V., Open FOA (Step Two) Proposal Review Information, to ensure it meets the DPA Title III Program requirements. Cost will be evaluated IAW V.1.i (5) Cost/Price. The proposal will be categorized and selected IAW FOA Section VI Open FOA (Step Two) Proposal Selection Information. Please note, your proposal will be reviewed by non-government personnel functioning as technical advisors to the Government Program Manager. These advisors, who are the same contractors identified in the FOA, will review the proposal submitted in response to this request; however, they will not be directly involved with any decision making relative to this project. Non-governmental personnel currently maintain nondisclosure agreements with the government prohibiting them from disclosing any submittal information.

11.

While the Air Force has set aside and budgeted funds for this effort, the issuance of this undefinitized Technology Investment Agreement is not to be construed to mean that award of a definitized agreement is assured, as final availability of funds and successful negotiations are prerequisites to any award.

12.

Review all attachments, including the draft articles, in preparation for negotiations and definitization. However, be advised that the document awarded may include articles in addition to those attached and articles may be deleted or modified depending on the requirements of this program. Any additions or deletions will be discussed prior to award of the document. In the interest of streamlining and in order to be in position to award within the definitization schedule, it is imperative that you review the sample articles and provide any exception to terms and conditions.

3.03PROPERTY (APR 2000) (TAILORED)

(a)

Recipients may purchase real property or equipment in whole or in part with federal funds under an award only with the prior approval of the Agreements Officer (except that additional approval is not required for such items included in the proposed/negotiated budget at the time of award). If the recipient purchases real property (other than land) or equipment with their own funding, and designates the real property or equipment as recipient cost share, the Government will have a financial interest in the real property or equipment. The financial interest of the Government is determined by the Federal participation in the project.

(b)	Equipment is defined as tangible nonexpendable personal property charged directly to the award having a useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost of $5,000.00 or more per unit.

(c)

Title to all real property and equipment purchased by the recipient with federal funds under this agreement will vest with the Government throughout the agreement. The Government may elect to transfer title to all (or some) of the real property or equipment to the recipient at the end of the agreement, if the recipient's performance is satisfactory, and subject to compliance with the criteria listed below in subparagraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3).

(1)

Use the real property or equipment for the authorized purposes of the project until funding for the project ceases, or until the property is no longer needed for the purposes of the project.

(2)

Not encumber the property without approval of the Agreements Officer.

(3)

Use and dispose of the property in accordance with paragraphs (d), (e), (f), and (g) of this article.

(d)

Title to all real property or equipment purchased by the recipient with recipient funds designated as recipient cost share under this agreement, will vest with the recipient subject to subparagraphs (c)(1), (c)(2) and (c)(3) above. As stated in paragraph (a) above, the Government will have a financial interest in the real property or equipment. The Government may relinquish all financial interest in the recipient purchased equipment at the end of the agreement, provided the recipient's performance is satisfactory, and the recipient provides:

(1)

Guaranteed, ongoing responsiveness to DoD requirements for products and services that require use of the equipment.

(2)

If the recipient's performance is not satisfactory the provisions listed above in paragraph (c)(1) through (c)(3) will apply.

(e)

During the time the real property or equipment is used on this program, the recipient shall make it available for use on other projects or programs, if such other use will not interfere with the work on this program. Use of the real property or equipment on other projects will be in the following order of priority:

Attachment 1B

(1)

Activities sponsored by DoD Components' grants, cooperative agreements, or other assistance awards;

(2)

Activities sponsored by other Federal agencies' grants, cooperative agreements, or other assistance awards;

(3)

Activities under Federal procurement contracts;

(4)

Activities not sponsored by any Federal agency. If so used, mutually agreed to use charges shall be assessed to those activities. For real property or equipment, the use charges shall be at rates equivalent to those for which comparable real property or equipment may be leased. The use charges shall be treated as program income.

(f)	After Federal funding for the project ceases, or when the real property or equipment is no longer needed for the purposes of the project, the recipient may use the real property or equipment for other projects, insofar as:

(1)

There are federally sponsored projects for which the real property or equipment may be used. If the only use for the real property or equipment is for projects that have no Federal sponsorship, the recipient shall proceed with disposition of the real property or equipment, in accordance with paragraph (g) of this section.

(2)

The recipient obtains written approval from the Agreements Officer to do so. The Agreements Officer shall ensure that there is a formal change of accountability for the real property or equipment to a currently funded, Federal award.

(3)

The recipient's use of the real property or equipment for other projects is in the same order of priority as described in paragraph (e) of this section.

(g)	Disposition. When an item of real property or equipment is no longer needed for Federally sponsored projects, the recipient shall proceed as follows:

(1)

If the property that is no longer needed is equipment (rather than real property), the recipient may wish to replace it with an item that is needed currently for the project. In that case, the recipient may use the original equipment as trade-in or sell it and use the proceeds to offset the costs of the replacement equipment, subject to the approval of the Agreements Officer.

(2)

The recipient may elect to retain title, without further obligation to the Federal Government, by compensating the Federal Government for that percentage of the current fair market value of the real property or equipment that is attributable to the Federal participation in the project or

(3)

The recipient may have an opportunity to retain title to the equipment provided the Government agrees to an exchange for financial resources, technical support, and/or deliverables that are of commensurate value to the Government. Examples include, but are not limited to the following:

Direct purchase of the equipment by the contractor, with the terms and process for pricing the purchase established.

Ongoing maintenance and insurance of the equipment.

Guaranteed, continued government access to the equipment.

Guaranteed, ongoing responsiveness to DoD requirements for products and services that require use of the equipment.

Periodic reporting and data relating to the contractor's production capabilities and continued economic viability.

Upon completion of the technical effort, the Title III project may be transitioned into a principally business-focused phase (no-cost monitoring phase) for the remaining accounting life of the

Attachment 1B

equipment. If this alternative is pursued, Title III may choose to conduct periodic reviews with the Recipient assess and ensure that they remain responsive to the continuing and evolving needs of the DoD community. Upon successful completion of this business-focused phase, (typically one to five years), the government may elect to transfer title to the equipment to the Recipient.

(4)

If the recipient does not elect to retain title to real property or equipment (see paragraph (g)(2) of this section) or request approval to use equipment as trade-in or offset for replacement equipment (see paragraph (g)(1) of this section), the recipient shall request disposition instructions from the Agreements Officer.

(2)

Such action is necessary to alleviate health or safety needs which are not reasonably satisfied by the recipient, assignee or their licensees;

(3)

Such action is necessary to meet requirements for public use specified by Federal regulations and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by the recipient, assignee or licensees; or

(4)

Such action is necessary because the agreement required by paragraph (i) of this article has not been obtained or waived or because a licensee of the exclusive right to use or sell any subject invention in the United States is in breach of such agreement.

Attachment 1B

(5)

Special Provisions for Agreements with Nonprofit Organizations

(k)	If the recipient is a nonprofit organization, it agrees that:

(1)

(2)

The recipient will share royalties collected on a subject invention with the inventor, including Federal employee co-inventors (when the Government deems it appropriate) when the subject invention is assigned in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 202(e) and 37 CFR 401.10;

(3)

The balance of any royalties or income earned by the recipient with respect to subject inventions, after payment of expenses (including payments to inventors) incidental to the administration of subject inventions, will be utilized for the support of scientific research or education; an

(4)

It will make efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to attract licensees of subject invention that are small business firms and that it will give a preference to a small business firm when licensing a subject invention if the recipient determines that the small business firm has a plan or proposal for marketing the invention which, if executed, is equally as likely to bring the invention to practical application as any plans or proposals from applicants that are not small business firms; provided, that the recipient is also satisfied that the small business firm has the capability and resources to carry out its plan or proposal. The decision whether to give a preference in any specific case will be at the discretion of the recipient. However, the recipient agrees that the Secretary may review the recipient's licensing program and decisions regarding small business applicants, and the recipient will negotiate changes to its licensing policies, procedures, or practices with the Secretary when the Secretary's review discloses that the recipient could take reasonable steps to implement more effectively the requirements of this paragraph (k)(4).
