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.
