Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Participant Basic Agreement (PBA)The Capability Program Executive for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (CPE CBRND) is soliciting collaborative participation through a continuous, open Participant Basic Agreement (PBA) under the HEALER portfolio to advance next-generation, threat-agnostic host-directed therapeutics designed to enhance physiological resilience against CBRN threats. This initiative targets five critical biological systems—neurological protection, respiratory stabilization, immune modulation, hematologic and vascular function, and cellular stress and repair pathways—with the goal of developing dual-use medical countermeasures that serve both military and civilian critical care needs. The program invites two categories of collaborators: therapeutic developers with candidates that modulate host response mechanisms and drug development support providers including CROs and CDMOs with capabilities in preclinical testing, clinical trial execution, cGMP manufacturing, regulatory strategy, and advanced modeling. Submission requires a white paper of no more than five pages excluding a cover page, detailing product mechanism of action, efficacy data from validated animal models, regulatory status such as IND experience and clinical trial history, manufacturing capacity and scale-up plans, and company profile for therapeutic developers, or core capabilities and infrastructure for service providers. All participants must express willingness to collaborate with other PBA holders to foster an integrated development ecosystem. The solicitation, issued under statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. §§4021–4023, operates outside the Competition in Contracting Act and does not follow traditional procurement or evaluation frameworks, eliminating standard contract clauses, formal evaluation factors, pricing structures, or submission deadlines. Instead, awards are made at the government’s discretion through a non-traditional acquisition mechanism designed to accelerate innovation. Technical and administrative inquiries are directed to Hunter Robinson and Alexander Mayatte at the U.S. Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland office. Participation prerequisites include current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), compliance with FDA regulatory pathways, and adherence to cGMP standards for manufacturing. While no specific delivery dates, FOB terms, inspection criteria, or cost estimates are defined, performance is expected to align with the mission of CPE CBRND to enable the Joint Force to operate effectively in CBRN-contested environments. Intellectual property considerations, teaming arrangements, and the scalability of therapeutic candidates are central to selection, with no socioeconomic or size status certifications required. The structure prioritizes agility, collaboration, and cross-sector innovation over rigid compliance, enabling a dynamic pipeline of medical countermeasures capable of addressing evolving biological threats through sustained host resilience.

Non-Optical Methods for High Speed Protein ControlDARPA’s Biological Technologies Office is seeking innovative solutions through the ERIS Marketplace to develop a new class of rapidly switchable, non-optogenetic protein domains capable of enabling real-time, massless control of cellular processes. The goal is to create a robust, modular molecular tool that responds to non-optical external signals such as magnetic fields or focused ultrasound, allowing precise regulation of protein function across cell membranes without relying on light or chemicals. Proposed solutions must achieve activation and deactivation kinetics of no more than two seconds, demonstrate reliable performance through at least 300 repetitive cycles in living cells, and function effectively in both split-protein dimerization and allosteric conformational configurations. This effort explicitly excludes any modifications or enhancements to existing optogenetic, light-based, or chemical systems. The anticipated contract value is $400,000 for a 12-month performance period, with awards being made on a rolling basis as solutions are evaluated, and the government reserves the right to issue awards before the December 8, 2026 submission deadline. Proposals must be submitted via the DARPA Connect ERIS Portal as a video that follows the required title format, or existing awardable solutions may be flagged for consideration by emailing ERIS@darpa.mil with specific subject and body requirements. Evaluation will focus on four core areas: a deep understanding of the problem space and current limitations in fields like sonogenetics and magnetogenetics, a significant technical leap in achieving rapid and repeatable protein control, demonstrated expertise in synthetic biology, protein engineering, and biophysics with a proven track record of quantitative in vivo characterization, and the potential of the solution to become a foundational tool in synthetic biology with broad applications in defense-relevant areas such as biomanufacturing, cell-based therapeutics, and biosensing. All submissions are subject to the ERIS assessment process, which serves as a mandatory pass/fail gate—only solutions deemed awardable by this process will be considered for BTO award. The procuring agency is the Department of Defense through DARPA’s Arlington, VA office, and all participants must comply with the ERIS Master Solicitation requirements available via SAM.gov.
