Human Hindbrain Organoid Functional Assay Services.

Solicitation # RFQ_CDR-2026-135968

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to OrganoTherapeutics SARL for human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived hindbrain organoid functional assay services. The project aims to support in vitro research evaluating drug-induced effects on respiratory-relevant neural circuits over an eighteen-month period of performance. The scope of work is divided into two primary components: the provision of human hindbrain organoids and associated culture materials through twelve scheduled deliveries to the FDA White Oak Campus, and the performance of functional characterization services at the contractor's laboratory. Functional characterization will utilize three-dimensional multi-electrode array (3D MEA) technology to assess electrophysiological responses to FDA-identified drug and reversal-agent combinations. Deliverables include the delivery of 96 organoids in the first shipment followed by 48 organoids in subsequent deliveries, as well as raw data, analyzed data, analysis files, and comprehensive study reports. This acquisition is conducted as a commercial service under FAR Part 12, with the government restricting competition based on market research identifying OrganoTherapeutics SARL as the only source capable of meeting the complete requirement for both the specific organoid products and the associated functional assay services.

Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) Diagnostic Research Innovation CenterThe National Institutes of Health, through the NINDS, is forecasting the establishment of a Diagnostic Research Innovation Center to support the next phase of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network. This center will operate as part of a broader ecosystem including the Clinical and Data Coordinating Center, Networks of Diagnostic Excellence, and the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program. The primary objective of the center is to advance innovative diagnostic tools and strategies for both genomic and non-genomic conditions, which includes the systematic re-evaluation of unsolved cases from previous network phases. The center will focus on generating and testing diagnostic hypotheses by utilizing advanced sequencing, multi-omics, and gene function studies in animal and human in vitro models. By collaborating with various network stakeholders, the center aims to identify novel disease-associated genes, genomic variants, and new syndromes. This initiative seeks an integrated center featuring investigators with a history of scientific synergy and collaboration. While this is currently a forecast to allow potential applicants time to plan and establish partnerships, formal applications are not yet being solicited.

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.

AI Contract Overview

The contract seeks to integrate synthetic biological components into a computational architecture capable of performing sense-compute-act functions in harsh, resource-limited environments. This effort aims to develop a biohybrid system that leverages engineered biological circuits to process environmental inputs, make decisions, and trigger physical responses without reliance on traditional electronics, enabling autonomous operation where conventional technology fails. The focus is on creating a robust, self-sustaining biological processor that can interpret complex stimuli, execute logic operations, and exert control over physical outputs using only biological materials and energy sources available in austere settings. The initiative is classified as a subcontract under the NAICS code 541714, indicating it falls under research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. It is sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency within the Department of Defense, reflecting its strategic importance for military and defense applications. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of May 20, 2026, with no set-aside provisions specified. The work will likely require interdisciplinary expertise in synthetic biology, computational systems, and environmental resilience, with performance expected to occur in undefined locations due to the nature of the operational environments targeted.
