Field-Deployable Spill Response Systems

The contract seeks the design and prototyping of mobile, rapidly deployable systems capable of on-site stabilization and containment of petroleum, oil, and lubricant spills in remote or austere environments. These systems must be engineered for field use under challenging conditions, emphasizing portability, quick assembly, and effectiveness in areas with limited infrastructure or support. The focus is on innovative solutions that can be transported and operated without reliance on heavy equipment or fixed facilities, ensuring rapid response to environmental hazards in military or expeditionary settings. The work is intended to support defense operations where traditional spill response methods are impractical or unavailable. Subcontractors are invited to respond by June 1, 2026, with proposals aligned to NAICS code 333120, which pertains to other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing. The contract is issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency under the Department of Defense, with no specific place of performance or set-aside type designated. The project requires a high degree of technical ingenuity, with prototypes expected to demonstrate real-world viability under extreme conditions. All proposals must address scalability, durability, and ease of deployment while meeting mission-critical operational standards for DoD applications.
