Issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency under solicitation BAA08-07, this contract focuses on Phase II of the BioJet Program to develop affordable petroleum-based military jet fuel surrogates using cellulosic and algal feedstocks. The primary objective is to demonstrate an end-to-end Lipid Fermentation process at scale to produce Hydrotreated Renewable Jet fuel, which serves as a commercially viable near-term surrogate for JP-8. This effort encompasses optimized process development, engineering, and regionally specific economic modeling to ensure energy efficiency and support full-scale commercialization. In addition to the primary lipid fermentation pathway, the contractor is tasked with demonstrating the Mixed Alcohol Oligomerization process at a reduced scale. This secondary effort includes its own set of energy efficiency milestones, economic modeling, and a detailed commercialization plan that accounts for the time required for formal jet fuel qualification. Managed by the Department of Defense, the program aims to transition innovative research into scalable production methods for sustainable military aviation fuels.

Full Description

Show more
This contract is for Phase II of the BioJet Program to demonstrate an end-to-end Lipid Fermentation process (LFP) at scale for the commercially viable production, from cellulosic biomass, of Hydrotreated Renewable Jet (HRJ) spec jet fuel - a near term surrogate for JP-8 that can be readily commercialized. This primary program effort will consist of optimized process development and engineering along with regionally specific economic modeling to produce fuel, demonstrate process energy efficiency and support commercialization. In addition to the LFP pathway, the contractor will demonstrate the Mixed Alcohol Oligomerization process (MAOP) pathway at a reduced scale. This effort will also include regionally specific economic modeling and optimized process and engineering to achieve energy efficiency milestone of Phase II along with a commercialization plan that addresses the anticipated additional time required for jet fuel qualification.

Pre-Award Synopsis Texas Shield
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-07
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), through its Biological Technologies Office (BTO), intends to enter into an agreement with The University of Texas System consortium of universities for the Texas Shield Program. This integrated research initiative, identified by solicitation number DARPA-SN-27-07 and NAICS code 541714, focuses on developing autonomous and semi-autonomous medical technologies and scalable solutions for critical medical consumables. The primary goal is to support lifesaving medical care in contested, austere, and resource-limited environments. Key technical areas of focus include autonomous medical and robotic surgical systems, casualty evacuation, artificial-blood and supply innovation, AI-enabled clinical decision support, and mass-casualty science and simulation. This notice is a pre-award synopsis and is not a request for proposals or a competitive solicitation. Interested entities are invited to submit information by November 15, 2026, to TexasShieldxBTO@darpa.mil detailing their technical expertise, integrated research infrastructure, clinical-validation capabilities, and multi-institutional coordination capacity. Additionally, respondents must describe their consortium organizational structure, commercialization capabilities, facility clearance levels, and their ability to handle Controlled Unclassified Information. The government will not reimburse any costs associated with the preparation or submission of information in response to this notice.

Intrinsic Market Resilience (IMR)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-138
The Intrinsic Market Resilience (IMR) program, solicited by the DARPA Information Processing Techniques Office under DARPA-PS-26-138, is a 32-month initiative spanning Fiscal Years 2027 through 2029. The program aims to protect essential U.S. economic sectors from systemic risks and adversarial attacks targeting the public interfaces of modern electronic markets. By combining Large Language Model (LLM) automation with rigorous mathematical modeling, IMR seeks to develop tools that automatically translate informal regulatory and technical specifications into formal models to identify hidden weaknesses and recommend structural repairs. The work is divided into three technical areas: TA1 focuses on modeling and analysis, TA2 on resiliency and repair, and TA3 on establishing test and evaluation frameworks to validate the outputs of the first two areas. This procurement is conducted as an Other Transaction (OT) for Prototype Agreement under 10 U.S.C. 4022, with anticipated award ranges of 4.5 to 5 million dollars for TA1, 2.5 to 3 million dollars for TA2, and 5 to 6.5 million dollars for TA3. Eligible participants include small businesses, nonprofit research institutions, and nontraditional defense contractors. Proposers must adhere to strict security requirements, including CMMC Level 1 compliance at award and CMMC Level 2 status or a detailed compliance plan. All information must be handled according to NIST 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 standards. Evaluation is based on technical approach, qualifications, technology transition viability, price, and security, with a particular emphasis on innovation and the feasibility of the proposed technical solution.
