About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks to award an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to develop a Personalized Protective Biosystem through a five-phase, five-year research and development program. The integrated system aims to provide unburdened protection against chemical and biological threats through lightweight materials preventing agent exposure and a secondary tissue-level defense. Proposals are due on specified dates through 2022 and must address preventing exposure and counteracting threats at skin, eyes and airways. Effectiveness will be evaluated at milestones through testing of prototypes and ensembles against defined agents. The goal is regulatory approval for human use by the end of Phase III.
There is no set-aside designation. The effort involves research and development under NAICS code 541715 and PSC code C49I. Total funding for the five-year program was not specified but likely exceeds $100 million based on typical DARPA investment levels. Phase I through III milestones will assess safety and effectiveness of materials and integrated ensembles against chemical and biological agents at 18-month intervals. Proposals are due on dates through 2022.

Update #2 · Latest ·
The Personalized Protective Biosystem (PPB) program will develop an integrated system that simultaneously reduces protective equipment needs while increasing protection for the individual against existing and future chemical and biological (CB) threats. The capability to provide unburdened CB protection will maximize time on target for the warfighter and the stability operator, provide operational flexibility, extend mission duration, and enable military operations in austere environments regardless of the threat. PPB will consist of lightweight materials that protect the warfighter from exposure to any CB threat while simultaneously providing a second layer of protection, at the tissue barrier, with bio-molecular, commensal organisms, or other technologies that protect the skin, eyes, and airway from CB threats. PPB will improve mission execution by solving the current (“state of the art”) protective equipment limitations including threat-specific vulnerabilities, thermal/logistical burdens, exposure risks during equipment removal/decontamination, and on-demand availability during unexpected threat situations.
