About this award
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia's national science agency, was awarded a $1.07 million cost-no-fee definitive contract by the Department of Defense's Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) on April 12, 2024, to develop and validate sealants that mitigate the leaching and mobility of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in concrete. Administered by the Army Corps of Engineers' Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity, this research initiative addresses environmental contamination challenges associated with PFAS—persistent synthetic chemicals of concern in military installations and broader environmental contexts. The work will be performed in Australia and is scheduled for completion by April 11, 2028. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting CSIRO's status as a specialized, sole-source provider for advanced environmental remediation research capabilities.
This contract aligns with SERDP's environmental restoration focus area and builds upon CSIRO's established track record delivering PFAS-related research to the federal government, including prior million-dollar contracts examining thermal decomposition of PFAS in commercial hazardous waste incinerators and forensic identification methodologies using high-field mass spectrometry. The cost-no-fee contract structure underscores the nonprofit nature of CSIRO's engagement and its commitment to supporting U.S. Department of Defense environmental objectives. The project represents a continuation of the department's strategic investment in innovative technologies to remediate PFAS contamination at military sites and facilities.
