The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $6.6M cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to CFD Research Corporation on August 19, 2025, for the Microsystem Induced Catalysis (MICA) program. This contract, with an ultimate completion date of November 19, 2028, supports DARPA's advanced research initiative focused on developing revolutionary microsystem-based architectures capable of controlling catalytic molecules through generated physical forces. The work will be performed in Huntsville, Alabama, where CFD Research maintains its headquarters. The award carries no set-aside designation and represents one of multiple contract awards under the approximately $40M MICA program, which aims to advance modeling, simulation, and fabrication techniques for precise catalyst control. CFD Research, a small engineering and technology firm specializing in computational fluid dynamics and advanced research and development, is well-positioned to execute this effort based on its extensive portfolio of DARPA, Department of Defense, and other federal agency contracts. Under this 39-month effort structured in two phases, CFD Research will support MICA's core objective of demonstrating increasing levels of catalyst control precision and capability. The program requires performers to progress from controlling one catalytic chemistry in Phase 1 to managing six unique catalyst types in Phase 2, with placement accuracy improving from 100 nanometers to 50 nanometers. The technical scope encompasses either functional co-design of multiscale modeling tools or attachment co-design and fabrication techniques, with an anticipated down-selection of performers occurring at the conclusion of Phase 1. This contract reflects DARPA's commitment to transformative scientific innovation in microsystems and catalytic chemistry, areas critical to advancing national defense and scientific capabilities.
