About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $10.65 million definitive contract to Sri International for the Microsystems Induced Catalysis (MICA) program on August 28, 2025, on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis with no set-aside.
The originating solicitation, posted January 21, 2025, sought innovative research and development in modeling, simulation, and fabrication of microsystem-based control of catalytic molecules. The DARPA program targets revolutionary advances in developing microsystem architectures that control catalytic molecules through generated physical forces, with evaluation emphasis on functional accuracy, placement precision, and scalability. The program is structured as a 39-month effort across two phases: Phase 1 (21 months) and Phase 2 (18 months), with down-selection of performers anticipated at the end of Phase 1. Proposers could address one of two technical areas: TA1 (functional co-design of multiscale modeling tools) or TA2 (attachment co-design and fabrication techniques). Performance extends through November 28, 2028, at Menlo Park, CA. Creative Biolabs Inc. is engaged as a subcontractor for enzyme conjugation production study work, with a subcontract award date of September 18, 2025.
