Coming Soon Announcement
APEX OTA CONSORTIUM COMING SOON ANNOUNCEMENT
ANNOUNCEMENT: APEX-CSA-014
DATE: 31 March 2026
PROJECT NAME: Defense Bioindustrial Product Prototype (DBPP) Project
AUTHORITY: 10 U.S.C. §4022 (Prototype Projects)
CUSTOMER: DEVCOM United States Army Research Lab (ARL) and Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Manufacturing Technology Program (OUSW(R&E)/ManTech)
KEY TECHNICAL AREA(S): Emerging Technologies
DESCRIPTION
The Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)) Manufacturing Technology Program seeks white papers to mature, scale, and demonstrate defense-relevant biomanufactured precursors and materials at pilot or production-representative scale in support of Department of War (DoW) sustainment and operational requirements within the Indo-Pacific region. The prototype will validate measurable material and/or system performance metrics (e.g., stronger, lighter weight, more powerful, longer lasting, reduced corrosion), with efforts to improve manufacturability, scalability, and operational relevance of the proposed biomaterial. The Government anticipates a phased prototype approach focused on material maturation and production-representative demonstration.
Successful completion may enable follow-on production pursuant to 10 U.S.C. §4022(f), limited to the scope of the demonstrated prototype capability and subject to statutory requirements and availability of funds.
DD Form 2345 is required. For JCP/DD Form 2345 requirements visit: www.dla.mil/Customer-Support/Brochures/Details/Article/3807634/joint-certification-program
