About this file

This is a Task Description Document (TDD) template for federal contract proposals, specifically designed for the DARPA Protein ENGineering (PENG) program solicitation (DARPA-PS-26-129). The template serves as an instructional framework for proposers to outline their approach to developing a multifunctional, target-agnostic platform for precise, programmable editing of endogenous proteins. Proposers are required to provide detailed task breakdowns organized by phase, with each task and subtask containing a general objective, detailed approach description, work location identification, primary responsible organization, animal research designation (if applicable), associated milestones, and defined deliverables such as data, reports, or software.

The document structure accommodates Base Tasks with associated subtasks, optional Competition Tasks, and Phase 2 Tasks, allowing proposers to present a comprehensive technical approach across multiple performance periods. Each task section requires proposers to identify whether work will be performed on a university campus, specify the prime contractor or subawardee responsible for execution, and clearly define measurable milestones and concrete deliverables that demonstrate progress toward the program's goal of transitioning proteome engineering into a universal, software-defined discipline validated through high-fidelity cellular models and tissue-level proof-of-concept demonstrations. The template contains no page limit and permits deletion of instructional text, enabling flexibility in proposal development while maintaining consistency in information presentation across all submissions.

TASK DESCRIPTION DOCUMENT

[Instructions: There is no page limit to this template. Instructional text may be deleted. Provide a detailed task breakdown by phase (if applicable), citing specific tasks and their connection to the interim milestones and metrics, as applicable. Do not include proprietary information. For each defined task/subtask, provide:

· A general description of the objective.

· A detailed description of the approach to be taken to accomplish each defined task/subtask.

· Identification of any tasks/subtasks that will involve animals.

· Identification of any tasks/subtasks that will be performed on campus at a university.

· Identification (by name) of the primary organization (prime contractor, subawardee(s), consultant(s)) responsible for task/subtask execution.

· Measurable milestones (e.g., a deliverable, demonstration, or other event/activity that marks task progress or completion).

· A definition of all deliverables (e.g., data, reports, software) to be provided to the Government in support of the proposed tasks/subtasks.]
