About this award
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity, administering the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), awarded a $249,993 firm fixed-price purchase order to William Marsh Rice University for research on thermo-catalytic destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated soils and spent sorbents. The project, designated SERDP ER25-4642, focuses on developing novel destruction methods that operate at unprecedentedly mild temperatures to significantly reduce energy consumption compared to existing approaches. Work will be performed at Rice University's Houston, Texas campus with an anticipated completion date of September 11, 2027. This award originated from SERDP's Core Broad Agency Announcement W912HQ24S0001, posted in November 2023, which sought pre-proposals for research addressing environmental restoration, munitions response, resource conservation and resilience, and weapons systems and platforms across multiple awards anticipated to total approximately $10 million.
Rice University's Office of Sponsored Projects was selected through a competitive, non-set-aside process based on SERDP relevance, technical merit, personnel qualifications, and cost evaluation. The university brings substantial experience in advanced research and development for defense agencies, including work under a Basic Ordering Agreement with U.S. Special Operations Command through May 2034. As a premier private research institution, Rice University maintains active federal partnerships across the Department of Defense, National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, NASA, and Department of Energy, demonstrating proven capability to deliver sophisticated solutions for complex environmental and scientific challenges.
