Autonomous Robotic Laboratory Systems Integration

The contract seeks integration of robotic platforms capable of autonomously performing core biological laboratory functions including pipetting, cell culture, and polymerase chain reaction with minimal human oversight. The goal is to develop a fully automated system that enhances reproducibility, throughput, and safety in high-complexity biological workflows, particularly in environments where rapid, consistent execution is critical. The technology must be robust, scalable, and designed for seamless operation within existing laboratory infrastructures without requiring extensive reconfiguration. This is a subcontract under the Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, classified under NAICS code 333318 for other commercial and industrial machinery manufacturing. The opportunity was posted on June 23, 2026, with a mandatory response deadline of July 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The place of performance and specific location details are not provided, indicating flexibility in where the work may be conducted, though performance must align with the agency’s operational needs. The emphasis is on advanced automation capabilities that reduce variability and accelerate biological research outcomes in defense-relevant contexts.
