What types of research and development projects does USAMRAA prioritize?

USAMRAA focuses on medical research related to combat casualty care, infectious diseases, military operational medicine, and clinical and rehabilitative medicine. Vendors should align their proposals with the specific research priorities outlined in Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs) issued by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command.

Are there specific set-asides or procurement vehicles commonly used by this office?

USAMRAA frequently utilizes Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs) and Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs) to engage with non-traditional defense contractors and academic institutions. While small business set-asides are utilized, many high-level research awards are competed through merit-based selection processes rather than traditional low-price, technically acceptable solicitations.

What is the best way to monitor upcoming medical research solicitations from this office?

Vendors should monitor the SAM.gov contract opportunities portal specifically for BAAs and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) issued by USAMRAA. Additionally, reviewing the annual Program Announcements from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) is essential for identifying upcoming funding opportunities for medical innovation.
