Deepwater Horizon Response
Federal Government Technology Submission
The federal government’s interagency group, called the Interagency Alternative Technology Assessment Program (IATAP) workgroup, was established by the National Incident Commander to provide a well-defined, documented, systematic, and fair government-managed process to solicit, screen, and evaluate all suggested technologies in support of ongoing response activities related to the Deepwater Horizon spill. On June 4, 2010, the IATAP workgroup issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to collect and review submittals.
IATAP Closing BAA
On Sept. 19, 2010, the National Incident Commander declared that the Deepwater Horizon well-site no longer poses a substantial threat of a discharge or a substantial threat to the public health or welfare of the United States. Additionally, there has been no observable release of hydrocarbons from the well-site since approximately July 12, 2010.
Therefore, the IATAP stopped accepting new white papers in support of the Deepwater Horizon Response by closing Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) HSCG32-10-R-R00019 on Sept. 30, 2010. All white papers submitted prior to this date will be adjudicated in accordance with the instructions provided in the BAA. Response ideas can continue to be submitted to BP at www.restorethegulf.gov/suggest_ideas.shtm.
