Pilot-Scale System Design and FabricationThe contract seeks the design, fabrication, and deployment of modular pilot-scale water treatment systems to validate laboratory-developed technologies under real-world field conditions. These systems must be scalable, transportable, and capable of operating in diverse environmental settings to test performance, durability, and efficiency outside controlled lab environments. The work involves integrating advanced treatment processes into compact, field-ready units that can be rapidly deployed and monitored for data collection and performance evaluation. Technical specifications will require adherence to rigorous engineering standards and compatibility with existing water quality monitoring protocols. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 333318 and is being issued by the Bureau of Reclamation within the Department of the Interior. Proposals must be submitted by September 29, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 29, 2026. While the specific location of performance is not detailed, implementation is expected to occur at field sites relevant to U.S. water resource challenges, potentially across multiple states. The modular nature of the systems allows for flexibility in deployment scenarios, and successful contractors will be expected to support ongoing data analysis, system troubleshooting, and delivery of validated performance metrics to inform future full-scale adoption.

Fiscal Year 2027 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP)
Solicitation # NOFOAFRLAFOSR20260001
The Department of Defense, through the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, is soliciting proposals under the Fiscal Year 2027 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) to enhance the research and educational capabilities of accredited U.S. institutions of higher education in areas critical to national defense. Funding is available exclusively for the acquisition of research equipment or instrumentation, with no eligibility extended to for-profit organizations. Proposals must demonstrate how the requested equipment will significantly advance Department of Defense-relevant research, directly support DoD mission objectives, and strengthen STEM education in defense-critical disciplines. Applications are evaluated based on three equally weighted criteria: impact on DoD-funded research, importance to DoD missions, and enhancement of STEM education. All submissions must be uploaded as a single PDF through Grants.gov by the deadline of November 6, 2026, and must adhere to strict formatting rules including a 25-page technical proposal limit, 12-point Times New Roman font, and single-spacing with one-inch margins. Applicants are required to be registered in the System for Award Management with a valid Unique Entity ID and must comply with extensive security, integrity, and disclosure requirements. Every principal investigator and key personnel must submit biographical sketches, current and pending support disclosures, a Privacy Act Statement, and certify compliance with research security training. Proposals are subject to a mandatory Risk-Based Security Review that assesses affiliations with Foreign Countries of Concern, participation in foreign government talent programs, and foreign funding sources—regardless of citizenship. Failure to disclose such affiliations may result in denial of award, termination, recovery of funds, or criminal penalties under the False Claims Act. Budgets may range from $50,000 to $7,000,000 per award, with allowable costs limited to equipment acquisition, installation, and travel for testing and acceptance; costs associated with construction, salaries, operations, or general-purpose computing are unallowable. Awardees must ensure ongoing compliance, notify the contracting officer within five business days of any changes to covered personnel affiliations, and flow down all security and disclosure obligations to subrecipients. The period of performance is typically 12 months, with the option for a no-cost extension of up to an additional year. All attachments, including the technical proposal, bibliography, facilities description, and optional supplemental materials, must be submitted in unencrypted PDF format with filenames under 68 characters.
