REQUEST FOR WHITE PAPERS BAA TOPIC: Topic 13. Biotechnology, “Controlling polymicrobial environments as a strategy for defeating harmful organisms while promoting the growth of beneficial organisms”

Solicitation # W912CG-26-S-BIOTECH

The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center is soliciting white papers under Broad Agency Announcement W911QY-25-R-0023 to advance biotechnological research focused on controlling polymicrobial environments to suppress harmful organisms while fostering beneficial ones, with specific emphasis on developing phage-based hygiene wipes to prevent urinary tract infections in female Warfighters. The effort aims to design, optimize, and test a cosmetic-grade formulation that maintains bacteriophage viability under extreme thermal conditions—particularly at 45°C for four weeks—while being compatible with natural cellulosic wipes, resealable packaging, and regulatory standards under the Modernization of Cosmetic Regulation Act. The proposed formulation must include a phage cocktail at a minimum titer of 1E8 PFU/ml, a neutral pH buffer, preservatives effective at pH 7–8, stabilizers like polyvinyl alcohol, and moisturizing agents, all without compromising phage activity. Up to three formulation iterations are expected, culminating in the delivery of 100 prototype wipe packs—50 with active phage and 50 without—for field-relevant testing. Submission begins with a white paper, limited to five pages, detailing the technical approach, management structure, relevant past performance, and a rough order of magnitude cost estimate covering a 12-month base period with two optional 12-month extensions. Only white papers submitted electronically by 31 August 2026, 5:00 p.m. EDT, to the designated email address will be considered eligible for further invitation to submit a full proposal. Evaluation will prioritize scientific merit, management capability, alignment with Army mission needs, and cost-effectiveness, with feedback provided to submitters. Selection of white papers does not guarantee funding or a contract award, as decisions are contingent on budget availability and program priorities. The government reserves the right to cancel the solicitation at any time without obligation. Award mechanisms may include a contract, grant, or cooperative agreement, though a contract is the intended outcome. Formal proposals will only be requested from top-scoring white papers, and no further communication with government technical personnel is permitted after submission of a full proposal.

Airborne and Mobile Measurements to support NOAA ARL’s Research on Meteorology and Atmospheric Chemistry

Solicitation # 145022-26-0017

The contract solicits specialized airborne and mobile measurement services to support NOAA’s atmospheric research in key urban regions, including Washington DC/Baltimore and New York City, with additional focus on methane emissions characterization and boundary layer analysis using mobile ceilometers and drone-mounted analyzers. The contractor must provide fully equipped research aircraft, qualified flight crews, and operational support to conduct multiple research flights in compliance with FAA regulations, collecting high-quality meteorological, chemical, and navigational data that will be integrated with NOAA’s existing aircraft, satellite, and surface monitoring systems. Also required is the deployment of a mobile ceilometer for continuous planetary boundary layer height measurements and, when requested, FAA-compliant unmanned aircraft systems equipped with methane/ethane analyzers to quantify point source emissions. The effort includes analysis of mobile laboratory data collected during the 2026 SOCCER-AQ field campaign in Boston to identify and quantify urban emission sources, compare observations with emissions inventories and models, and produce peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. Administrative coordination is a core component, with the prime contractor responsible for managing all subcontractors, overseeing financial and scheduling milestones, consolidating deliverables, and ensuring full compliance with contract terms through a firm fixed-price, all-or-none award. This is a small business set-aside under NAICS code 541715, with a performance period from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2027, and payment terms of Net 30. All work is centered at NOAA’s Advanced Systems and Modeling Division in Riverdale Park, Maryland, with deliverables due by the end of the period of performance. Quotes must be submitted electronically by August 14, 2026, to the designated NOAA point of contact, and pricing must be provided in accordance with the SF18 form or company letterhead, including monthly and annual breakdowns. The government explicitly states it will not accept responsibility for non-receipt of quotes, and the awardee must confirm receipt. Wage determinations referenced under WD #2015-4265 and WD #2015-4187 apply, and administrative coordination responsibilities—including subcontract management, invoice processing, and final documentation—must be fulfilled by the prime contractor, though technical oversight of scientific tasks remains with NOAA and subcontractors. All contract provisions and clauses are accessible via acquisition.gov, and the solicitation does not require SAM representations that are not included in the official solicitation documents.

AJ11--(Late) Research Services - ID Neuroimaging Biomarkers for Brain Connectivity - BRONX | EDA: 9/25/26

Solicitation # 36C24E26R0022

The Department of Veterans Affairs, James J. Peters VA Medical Center, intends to award a sole-source contract to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for specialized research services focused on identifying neuroimaging biomarkers for brain connectivity, in support of an ongoing VA Merit Award. This action is justified under 41 U.S.C. §3304(a)(3) and FAR 6.103-3, as NJIT is the only entity with the unique, four-year-developed expertise, proprietary datasets, and validated methodologies essential to the research's continuity and scientific integrity. NJIT’s world-class proficiency in fNIRS-based brain connectivity research, backed by multiple peer-reviewed publications and sustained collaboration with VA investigators, cannot be replicated by other institutions, even those with fNIRS capabilities, due to the absence of proximity, shared data infrastructure, and proven technical proficiency. Any other source would introduce unacceptable delays or compromise the research outcomes. The solicitation number is 36C24E26R0022, with a posted date of August 5, 2026, and a deadline for capability statements of August 10, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST. While this is a notice of intent and not a competitive solicitation, any responsible source believing it can meet the requirement may submit a capability statement to Lynn Portman at lynn.portman@va.gov by the deadline; telephone responses are not accepted. The NAICS code is 541715, and the contracting office is located in Pittsburgh, PA, under the Rpo East (36C24E) organization.
