The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) awarded a $903,631 firm-fixed-price definitive contract to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia's national science agency, on September 29, 2023. The contract supports fundamental research collaboration through a Broad Agency Announcement focused on the Indo-Pacific region. Under this award, CSIRO will deliver platform technology that uses insect larvae to degrade and remove contaminating plastics from waste streams, broadening the scope of waste materials that can be processed through this novel biological remediation approach. The work is scheduled for completion by September 28, 2027, with performance conducted in Australia. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
This research initiative aligns with DEVCOM's strategic focus on scientific and technological innovation in the Indo-Pacific region, as outlined in the originating solicitation issued by Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces. CSIRO's extensive background conducting multidisciplinary research for various U.S. federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, made it well-positioned to execute this research collaboration. The firm-fixed-price arrangement and defined completion timeline reflect a structured approach to delivering innovative biological solutions for plastic waste remediation, a capability with potential applications across military and civilian waste management operations.
