About this vehicle
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency established this Master IDIQ on December 19, 2012 for the development and manufacture of plant-based proteins from Nicotiana benthamiana; the ordering period closed on December 31, 2017 and the vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.
The vehicle is fully obligated and expired. All four task orders, totaling $5.2 million in combined potential value, were awarded and obligated between June 2013 and February 2015. The most recent task order was issued over eleven years ago. No ordering activity occurred after 2015, and the vehicle's eight-and-a-half-year window to place orders has closed.
Work contracted under the vehicle centered on establishing Nicotiana benthamiana expression systems for monoclonal antibodies (primarily anti-Ebola virus variants) and production of cryptochrome proteins. Task orders were firm-fixed-price except one time-and-materials order. Delivery orders ranged from $612 thousand to approximately $2 million in ceiling value, with ultimate completion dates between September 2014 and August 2016.
Fraunhofer USA, Inc. dominated awards by count and value, holding two of four task orders worth a combined $2.6 million. Medicago USA Inc. received one order for $2 million, and Planet Biotechnology Incorporated received one for $678 thousand. No set-aside designations were used across any awarded task order.
Customer funding came primarily from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, which funded two orders totaling $4 million. The Department of the Army Medical Command and DARPA itself each funded one order. This vehicle should not be pursued; it has no remaining ordering authority and all available work has been obligated.
Description
Master IDIQ for the development and manufacture of plant based proteins from the Nicotiana benthamiana plant.
