About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a multiple-award Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Biosqueeze Inc. on August 26, 2022, with a ceiling value of $9.5 million under the Biological Construction Materials Challenge Program (BIOCEMENT) Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) initiative. This contract vehicle was established to procure engineered biological cement solutions designed for surface hardening applications in semi-aquatic environments, leveraging biomineralization technologies for defense infrastructure purposes. The award to Biosqueeze Inc., a small business specializing in biotechnology solutions for construction and materials engineering, represents a continuation of prior research and development efforts focused on advancing biological construction materials for military applications. No set-asides were applied to this IDIQ contract, indicating open competition structure despite the SBIR designation.
The contract provides Biosqueeze Inc. with a flexible framework to develop and prototype innovative biological construction materials that extend beyond traditional airfield applications into semi-aquatic operational environments. This IDIQ vehicle enables DARPA to issue individual task orders for specific research objectives and prototype development while maintaining budgetary control through the $9.5 million ceiling value. The contract reflects DARPA's investment in biotechnology-based solutions to address expeditionary construction challenges, allowing the contractor to scale research initiatives and deliver products that enhance military infrastructure capabilities in austere or challenging environmental conditions. The IDIQ structure supports iterative development and demonstration of biological cement technologies with potential applications across multiple defense operational scenarios.
