Specialized Raw Materials Supply

The contract seeks the supply of high-purity bio-based monomers, templating agents, or functionalized nanoparticles specifically for use in the fabrication of biocomposites, requiring complete traceability and accompanying Certificates of Analysis for every batch delivered. The materials must meet stringent quality standards to ensure compatibility and performance in advanced defense-related applications, with all products originating from sustainable, bio-derived sources. Full documentation of sourcing, production, and quality control processes is mandatory to support regulatory compliance and material integrity throughout the supply chain. This is a subcontract under a Small Business Set-Aside, mandated under the SBIR/STTR program and restricted to entities with fewer than 500 employees. It falls under NAICS code 325199 for other chemical product and preparation manufacturing and is administered by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency within the U.S. Department of Defense. The solicitation was posted on June 24, 2026, with responses due by July 8, 2026, and the performance location remains undisclosed. The procurement is part of a broader initiative to advance next-generation biocomposite technologies through innovative, environmentally responsible material inputs.
