Industry Day: DARPA Documentation & Decision Support Sprint (D2)

Solicitation # DARPA-SN-26-118

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office (BTO) has issued Special Notice DARPA-SN-26-118 to announce a virtual Industry Day on September 22, 2026, for the Documentation and Decision Support Sprint (D2). This initiative aims to advance combat medicine by developing autonomous solutions that use passive sensor data, such as audio, video, and accelerometry, to assist untrained individuals in delivering tactical combat casualty care during the first 20 minutes of treatment. The project is divided into two primary lanes: Lane 1 focuses on the autonomous population of digital DD Form 1380 TCCC Cards, and Lane 2 focuses on providing real-time clinical decision support for non-medics based on Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care and Joint Trauma System Clinical Practice Guidelines. This announcement is an informational notice and not a formal solicitation for proposals or abstracts. Interested U.S. entities and citizens must register for the Industry Day by September 20, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET, with attendance limited to the first 1,000 registrants. While no formal proposals are being accepted, prospective competitors may submit one-page teaming profiles to D2Sprint@darpa.mil by September 22, 2026, to facilitate partnership arrangements. The D2 effort will be conducted at the unclassified level and will utilize targeted prize incentives to catalyze technological advancements. Technical and administrative inquiries are directed to Dr. Jeremy Pamplin and the D2Sprint email address.

TIDAL: Target-Induced Droplet Assembly of Ligands

Solicitation # S-197478

Developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory, TIDAL (Target-Induced Droplet Assembly of Ligands) is a programmable protein-only material that utilizes nanobodies fused with encapsulation peptides to create dynamic, liquid-like droplets through phase separation. This technology allows for the precise concentration of binders upon encountering a target ligand, enabling a versatile platform for resin-free protein purification, high-sensitivity diagnostics, and the creation of slow-release drug depots. It can also function intracellularly to sequester and neutralize harmful proteins associated with viral infections or cancer. The technology is currently at TRL 3 with a patent pending and is available for exclusive or non-exclusive licensing through the Department of Energy contractor, Triad. Key market applications span biopharmaceutical manufacturing, therapeutics, and biotechnology. Interested parties can contact Caleb Ledgerwood or Lindsay Augustyn via the provided licensing email to explore commercial partnerships for this innovation.

Full Description

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY

In accordance with RFO 15.101(c), this RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a solicitation for proposals, quotations, or abstracts, nor does it obligate the Government to award a contract or pay for any information provided. Responses will not be returned. No reimbursement will be made for costs associated with responding to this notice.

1. Background

Research supported and conducted by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), strives to understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases that threaten millions of human lives. The NIAID Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) supports extramural research to control and prevent diseases caused by virtually all infectious agents, an essential component of U.S. efforts to ensure the health and safety of the American people. Through multiple grant- and contract-funded research programs, NIAID supports a broad range of clinical research, including single-site and multi-center trials spanning Phase 0-4 therapeutics and vaccines, new vaccine formulations, schedules, and modes of delivery; surveillance or natural history / cohort studies for pathogens of interest; evaluation of novel diagnostics; and clinical trials designed to find additional uses for already approved therapies for selected infectious diseases. The portfolio includes primarily domestic clinical sites, with the ability to support international studies.

As part of clinical research portfolio, NIAID has regulatory obligations for clinical trials that include standardized deliverables, reporting, safety oversight, and monitoring. NIAID therefore requires resources to support its clinical research activities in compliance with regulatory requirements. One of those resources is a Statistical and Data Coordinating Center (SDCC) which provides centralized data management, statistical, and specimen tracking services essential to this clinical research portfolio. NIAID is exploring the re-competition of its Statistical and Data Coordinating Center (SDCC) for Clinical Research in Infectious Diseases (CRID) contract.

2. Purpose

The Government is issuing this RFI to:

Facilitate early engagement with industry prior to release of a formal Request for Proposals (RFP), in accordance with RFO 15.101(c).
Assess current market capabilities and vendor offerings relevant to SDCC services.
Gather input on industry best practices to inform development of a future Statement of Work (SOW).
Support fair and open competition in accordance with FAR 5.401.
