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.
