-Frank Warmerdam previously briefed the EDRC BAA in the 15th board meeting. Mark Lucas reviewed the BAA, it is typical of many government BAA's and is primarily targeted at companies with cost plus accreditation addressing specific topics identified in the document.  Of potential interest is an offer to co-host conferences on common topics with not for profit organizations.  The not for profit organization submits a proposal and budget estimates to ERDC for review and approval.  Something that we might consider in the future.
