Frequently Asked Solicitation Questions

Please refer to the Quick Submitter Guide for help with submitting to DAF TENCAP solicitations.

ATI will conduct a compliance screening of all submissions. For any non-compliance issues, ATI will notify the organization and provide a short window of time for correction of the issues. The government will then perform technical evaluations. Submissions will be determined as “Met” or “Not Met.” Submissions that are determined to be “Not Met” will not move forward and feedback will be released upon government approval. Submissions that are determined to be “Met” will either be selected to move forward or will be placed in the virtual basket. (For more information on the basket see FAQ #7.) Submissions that move forward will be required to provide an oral presentation using Government Furnished Information (GFI). After the oral pitches are complete, the government will again perform technical evaluations and will decide on selection for award. If selected for award, your organization will work with ATI and the government technical team to finalize your Statement of Work and provide cost details. Please refer to the RPP you would like to apply for specific process information.

No, the DAF TENCAP OTA is not a grant, and no grants will be awarded under the OTA. All awards will be either expenditure based or fixed price agreements.

All information regarding the anticipated level of funding is provided within the RPP documents provided with the solicitation.

Feedback on submissions will be received in AMP, where your solicitation was submitted.

If your submission received a “Met” rating from the government evaluation team, but they did not select it for award, it will be placed in the virtual basket. A submission in the basket is eligible to be selected for award if the Government has a need for the solution and funding becomes available.
