About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $6.628 million definitive contract to CFD Research Corporation for the Microsystem Induced Catalysis (MICA) program on August 19, 2025, under a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with no set-aside.
The originating solicitation targets advanced research and development in modeling, simulation, and fabrication of microsystem-based control of catalytic molecules. The program emphasizes revolutionary scientific advances in developing microsystem architectures capable of controlling catalytic molecules through generated physical forces, with evaluation centered on functional accuracy, placement precision, and scalability of catalyst control mechanisms. CFD Research will support one of two technical areas: functional co-design of multiscale modeling tools (TA1) or attachment co-design and fabrication techniques (TA2). Performance is scheduled for 39 months, divided into a 21-month Phase 1 and 18-month Phase 2, with anticipated down-selection at the end of Phase 1. Performers must demonstrate increasing levels of catalyst control, progressing from controlling one catalytic chemistry in Phase 1 to six unique catalyst types in Phase 2, with placement accuracy improving from 100 nanometers to 50 nanometers. Place of performance is Huntsville, AL, with an ultimate completion date of November 19, 2028. The broader MICA program carries a total budget of approximately $40 million across two technical areas, with multiple contracts to be awarded through procurement contracts or Other Transaction agreements.
