Laguna Industry Day

Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-18

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office is hosting a virtual Industry Day on December 9, 2026, for the Laguna program under Special Notice DARPA-SN-27-18. The program's primary objective is to develop and demonstrate integrated manufacturing approaches that convert abundant domestic feedstocks, such as sugars, ethylene, and BTX, into application-ready specialty chemical formulations. By minimizing intermediate processing steps and separations, the initiative seeks to reduce reliance on vulnerable foreign supply chains. The anticipated 36-month effort is divided into two technical areas: Make and Formulate, which focuses on developing defense-relevant specialty products from U.S. raw materials, and Model, which aims to create predictive tools to optimize the relationship between feedstocks, synthesis, and final product performance. This notice is issued for information and program planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals. Interested parties must register for the Industry Day event by December 2, 2026. The program requires that resulting products meet or exceed the performance of current military materials, with deliverables including technoeconomic analyses, life cycle assessments, and commercialization strategy plans. Technical and administrative inquiries are managed by Dr. William Mounfield and can be directed to [email hidden]. A draft program solicitation is expected to be released on sam.gov prior to the Industry Day event.
