About this award
The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Indo-Pacific awarded a $300,797.65 firm-fixed-price definitive contract to the National Neuroscience Institute of Singapore PTE LTD on July 25, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of April 24, 2027. This fundamental research project will be performed in Singapore and focuses on studying tryptophan-metabolizing gut bacteria that produce indoles, with the objective of assessing whether indole compounds and indole-producing bacteria can alleviate stress-related behavior. The award emerged from a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued through the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces seeking innovative scientific and technological research collaboration proposals across multiple domains within the Indo-Pacific region. No set-aside designation was applied to this contract.
The solicitation, posted in August 2022, anticipated making multiple awards ranging from $5,000 to $9.5 million over five-year periods, with approximately $1.9 million available annually for various research initiatives. Individual research projects could be valued between $20,000 and $500,000 for seed projects, positioning this award within the smaller range of anticipated project sizes. The research aligns with the Army's strategic interests in the Indo-Pacific region and evaluates proposals based on technical approach, relevance to Army missions, offeror qualifications, and cost realism. As the prime contractor and sole awardee identified in this contract documentation, the National Neuroscience Institute of Singapore will deliver research findings and assessments related to the biological mechanisms of stress reduction through microbial-derived compounds.
