# DoD Seeks FY2027 Environmental Research Proposals

The Department of Defense’s FY2027 Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) Core Broad Agency Announcement offers contractors and research institutions an opportunity to conduct environmental research and development. Applicants must submit a compliant pre-proposal through the SERDP and ESTCP Management System (SEMS); only those invited may submit a full proposal. Selected work is expected to use cost-type contracts and may be subject to subcontracting and cost-data rules, as well as the DFARS cybersecurity clause. No new statutory appropriation or funding amount is identified in the guidance.

- Organizations interested in the SERDP opportunity must begin with the SEMS pre-proposal process; a full proposal is invitation-only.
- Prospective contractors should account for cost-type contract administration, applicable subcontracting and cost-data requirements, and the DFARS cybersecurity clause when assessing their ability to perform.
- Research institutions and contractors can use the BAA to assess fit for DoD environmental R&D work; the guidance does not specify a funding amount or a submission deadline.
