About this award

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a definitive contract to Battelle Memorial Institute for the ReSource program on August 1, 2020, with a ceiling value of $12.746 million. The contract is cost-plus-fixed-fee and carries no set-aside designation.

The ReSource program aims to develop an integrated waste-to-resource conversion system capable of converting plastics and other energy-dense waste materials into food and strategic chemicals for military use in austere environments. The Biogenerator, a portable end-to-end waste-to-resource conversion system, represents the core deliverable. Work is performed in Columbus, OH, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024.

The originating pre-solicitation, posted August 20, 2019, with proposals due November 5, 2019, called for technologies that operate reliably in austere settings to process single-use waste and scavenged materials into usable feedstock, thereby extending long-term missions and reducing logistical resupply burdens. The work advances the technology across multiple phases toward operational demonstration, with monthly progress reporting and DARPA meetings and demonstrations required throughout performance.
