The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $3.22M cost-no-fee definitive contract to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as UC Berkeley, for the Microsystems Induced Catalysis (MICA) program. This contract, awarded on August 22, 2025, with performance completion targeted for May 25, 2027, supports advanced research and development in modeling, simulation, and fabrication of microsystem-based control of catalytic molecules. The award was made without a set-aside designation through open competitive procurement. UC Berkeley will conduct research at its Albany, California facility, delivering innovations in microsystem architectures designed to control catalytic molecules through generated physical forces, with evaluation criteria emphasizing functional accuracy, placement precision, and scalability of catalyst control mechanisms. The MICA program represents DARPA's investment in revolutionary scientific advances that progress beyond incremental improvements to existing practices. The broader program is structured as a 39-month effort with approximately $40M in total funding across two technical areas, involving multiple performer down-selection at the end of Phase 1. UC Berkeley's award supports the development of multiscale modeling tools and fabrication techniques that will enable demonstrable control of catalytic chemistry, with performance metrics requiring progression from single catalyst control in Phase 1 to managing six unique catalyst types in Phase 2, while improving placement accuracy from 100 nanometers to 50 nanometers. This contract leverages UC Berkeley's established expertise as a critical federal research partner in advanced materials science, quantum technologies, and cutting-edge scientific instrumentation.
