TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: DC RecruiterDC Recruiter is an innovative immune-enhancing technology developed by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory that uses a self-assembling peptide nanofiber to recruit and activate dendritic cells, critical components of the immune system. Unlike traditional pathogen-specific vaccines and treatments, this approach is designed to trigger an early, broad-spectrum immune response regardless of the specific infectious agent. The product is formulated as a needle-free, spray-friendly application, enhancing its practicality and ease of use in various settings. Its core advantage lies in addressing the challenge of rapid immune activation before the pathogen is identified, providing fast-acting defense during exposure scenarios where conventional methods may be delayed, too specific, or ineffective. This technology holds promise across multiple market sectors, including infectious disease prevention, outbreak management, national defense, consumer health, pharmaceuticals, and emergency preparedness. Its broad, pathogen-agnostic mechanism makes it especially valuable in high-risk or field environments requiring quick deployment and flexible administration. Currently at a technology readiness level of 3, DC Recruitor is patent-pending and available for licensing through Los Alamos National Laboratory’s program, which facilitates exclusive and non-exclusive licensing agreements to commercial partners seeking to leverage cutting-edge innovations for competitive advantage. The ongoing solicitation invites potential collaborators to engage before the stated deadline.

Contact Activation Pathway Function Blocking Antibody AB023The Defense Health Agency is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence and identify qualified sources for the supply of the contact activation pathway function blocking antibody AB023, also known as Xisomab 3G3 or Gruticibart. This antibody is designed to inhibit Coagulation Factor XI (FXI) by targeting the "apple 2" domain, preventing its activation by activated factor XII (FXIIa) in the contact pathway, which is implicated in clot formation on artificial surfaces. The antibody is intended for use in medical applications such as Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) circuits, hemodialysis, catheters, and cancer-associated thrombosis. It is designed to preserve natural clotting processes by not interfering with FXI activation by thrombin or the conversion of Factor IX by activated FXI, thus maintaining normal hemostasis required for wound healing. The Government anticipates procuring up to 0.5 grams of AB023 annually and requires pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic testing to assess its concentration over time, biochemical impacts, clotting time effects, and ability to prevent thrombus growth and fibrin accumulation in vascular thrombosis models. Stability, dosage, and potency validations must be conducted using clotting assays. Although this announcement does not represent a solicitation or obligation to award a contract, interested parties with relevant expertise must submit technical information by June 18, 2026. All responders must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The associated NAICS code is 541714, reflecting research and development in biotechnology. The point of contact is based at the Defense Health Agency in Fort Detrick, Maryland, with the place of performance listed in Texas.
