Protein ENGineering (PENG)

Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-129

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking innovative proposals under the Protein ENGineering (PENG) program, solicited through DARPA-PS-26-129, to develop a universal, software-defined platform for precise, programmable editing of endogenous proteins. The goal is to transform proteome engineering from fragmented, target-specific tools into an integrated system capable of directly recognizing, modifying, and rewriting proteins within complex biological environments using modular targeting, generalizable effector chemistries, and multiplexed control systems. Performers are expected to leverage novel splicing, ligation, and co-translational techniques to achieve these modifications in high-fidelity cellular models such as organoids, with progression from foundational validation to robust tissue-level demonstrations. The program is structured over a 42-month total period of performance, divided into an 18-month Base Phase 1, a 6-month Option Phase 1 for capability demonstration, and an 18-month Option Phase 2, spanning fiscal years 2027 through 2030. Performance will occur primarily at the contractor’s facility, with critical milestones requiring on-site demonstrations and DARPA team visits in Arlington, Virginia, where final evaluation and acceptance will take place. Proposals must adhere to strict formatting and documentation standards, including structured cost submissions using designated worksheets with sequentially numbered Reference Document IDs (e.g., EQ001, MAT010) for all equipment and materials over $5,000, supported by vendor quotes and detailed justifications. All cost estimates must comply with Federal Acquisition Regulation cost principles, and no deletion of template columns or cells is permitted. Key personnel—regardless of salary support—must be explicitly listed, and option periods must maintain continuity in document numbering with the base phase. While no explicit contract clauses, evaluation factors, or award methodology are provided, the solicitation emphasizes transparency, traceability, and compliance with Controlled Unclassified Information handling standards. Contractors must be prepared to submit proposals electronically by the October 19, 2026 deadline, with funding ceilings of up to $225,000 for Phase 1, $225,000 for Phase 2, and $160,000 for potential institutional innovation program participation, resulting in a maximum potential contract value of $610,000. No small business set-asides, socioeconomic certifications, or specific invoicing or payment office details are specified,

Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-129

The Defense Sciences Office within the Department of Defense is seeking innovative proposals for the development of a multifunctional, target-agnostic platform capable of precise and programmable editing of endogenous proteins. This initiative, known as PENG under solicitation DARPA-PS-26-129, aims to advance biological engineering by enabling direct, controlled modification of native proteins without relying on traditional genetic modifications or exogenous components. The platform must be adaptable across diverse protein targets, support high specificity and efficiency, and operate within complex cellular environments to facilitate robust, scalable applications. Proposals should emphasize novel mechanisms, engineering principles, and experimental validation strategies that push the boundaries of current protein editing technologies. Submissions are due by October 19, 2026, with the solicitation posted on August 7, 2026. This federal opportunity is open to organizations capable of delivering transformative research outcomes with potential national security implications. The program does not specify a set-aside type or NAICS code, and performance locations are not constrained to a particular geographic area. Interested parties are directed to the official DARPA website for full solicitation details, including evaluation criteria and technical requirements. While no point of contact information is listed publicly, all submissions must adhere to the guidelines outlined in the official solicitation document to be considered.

Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Participant Basic Agreement (PBA)

Solicitation # W911SR-26-R-HEAL

The Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Participant Basic Agreement (PBA) is a continuous, open solicitation designed to establish a dynamic, pre-qualified network of partners to accelerate the development and fielding of next-generation medical defenses against CBRN threats. Operated by the Capability Program Executive for CBRN Defense (CPE CBRND) under the Department of Defense, this agreement functions as an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ)-like vehicle authorized under 10 U.S.C. §§4021, 4022, and 4023, exempting it from the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984. The program seeks innovative, threat-agnostic host-directed therapeutics that enhance physiological resilience by targeting critical systems such as neurological function, respiratory stability, immune response, hematologic and vascular integrity, and cellular stress and repair pathways. Complementary to this, the government also seeks broad-spectrum therapeutic candidates that can directly neutralize CBRN agents, with emphasis on agents possessing environmental stability, non-cold-chain storage capability, and simplified administration routes like oral, intranasal, or autoinjector formats suitable for immediate use in austere, far-forward operational environments. Interested parties, including MCM developers at any stage from Phase I through FDA licensure and supporting organizations such as CROs, CDMOs, and regulatory experts, must submit a white paper of no more than five pages detailing product mechanisms, efficacy data from validated animal models, regulatory status including IND history and clinical trial results, manufacturing capacity and scale-up plans, and company experience. Collaboration is mandatory, with applicants required to state willingness to team or partner within the PBA ecosystem. Participation requires SAM registration, and all award decisions are based on technical merit and strategic alignment with the program’s mission to build a layered, resilient, and sustainable medical defense portfolio, without fixed deadlines or competitive bidding. The agreement supports the development of dual-use medical solutions with potential applications in civilian critical care, emphasizing ruggedized formulations, clear labeling, durable packaging, and long-term stability to ensure readiness in the most challenging operational conditions. Technical and administrative inquiries should be directed to Hunter Robinson or Alexander Mayatte at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland office.
