DBPP Project

PROJECT OVERVIEW INFORMATION

PROJECT OPPORTUNITY TITLE: Defense Bioindustrial Prototype Products (DBPP) Project

PROJECT SPONSORS: 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]

ANNOUNCEMENT TYPE: Request for White Papers

AWARD AUTHORITY: This effort will be executed pursuant to 10 U.S.C. §4022 (Prototype Projects).

PROJECT OPPORTUNITY NUMBER: APEX-RWP-009-DBPP

PROJECT 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 products at pilot or production-representative scale in support of Department of War (DoW) sustainment and operational requirements within the Indo-Pacific region.

The prototype biomanufactured products shall 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 product 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.

The Defense Bioindustrial Product Prototype (DBPP) project is UNCLASSIFIED..

ANTICIPATED FUNDING

The Government anticipates awarding one (1) or more Phase I prototype project(s) with funding of $1 - $2 million per project over the period of performance indicated in Section 1.6. Total estimated Government funding for Phase I award(s) will not exceed $16 million.

Phase II will be incorporated into any resultant award as an option period that may be exercised at the sole discretion of the Government. Estimated Phase II option funding is anticipated to range from $5 - $20 million per project; however, total funding available for Phase II option exercise is to be determined. This estimate is provided for planning purposes only and does not constitute a Government commitment to exercise any option or provide any specific level of funding. The Government also reserves the right to make multiple awards or no awards depending on the solutions submitted.
