On-Board Purification and QC Module Integration

The contract seeks the development and integration of miniaturized purification and quality control subsystems designed to enable real-time validation of synthesized primers directly on the production platform. This effort focuses on creating an automated, compact analytic module capable of performing on-board purification and immediate quality assessment, eliminating reliance on external laboratory testing and significantly accelerating the primer production workflow. The technology must ensure high purity, structural accuracy, and reproducibility of synthesized primers while maintaining compatibility with high-throughput synthetic systems used in molecular diagnostics and biothreat detection. This subcontract is issued by the Army Medical Resources Acquisition Activity under the Department of Defense, with performance centered in Frederick, Maryland. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 334111 for medical and diagnostic laboratory equipment manufacturing, targeting innovators with expertise in microfluidics, analytical instrumentation, and biochemical process integration. Respondents must propose technically feasible solutions that reduce turnaround time, minimize reagent use, and enhance system reliability under field-deployable or high-volume manufacturing conditions. Proposals are due by July 24, 2026, and the project aims to advance the readiness and autonomy of next-generation molecular diagnostic platforms for military and biomedical applications.
