About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals for the Structures Uniquely Resolved to Guarantee Endurance (SURGE) program. DARPA seeks to develop methods to predict the useful life of critical structural parts manufactured through additive manufacturing (AM) processes. The research aims to merge in-situ sensing, process modeling, and microstructure-based fatigue life methods to enable efficient part qualification and accelerate distributed AM capabilities. Proposals must investigate approaches that enable revolutionary advances, rather than evolutionary improvements. Evaluation will focus on the innovativeness, technical approach, and potential impact of the proposed research. Abstracts are due by May 9, 2024, and full proposals by July 1, 2024.
This is a pre-solicitation notice with no set-aside designation. The main NAICS code is 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and the PSC is AD23 (Research and Development - Other). There are no incumbent contractors identified. Multiple awards are anticipated, with a potential mix of procurement contracts, cooperative agreements, and other transactions. The budget range is not specified, but the program is planned for 48 months, with a 24-month base period and a 24-month option.
Notice text
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals to rethink and accelerate distributed additive manufacturing of critical structural parts. Structures Uniquely Resolved to Guarantee Endurance (SURGE) will develop methods to predict part life directly from data collected during additive manufacturing (AM) in a way that is transferable across disparate machines, materials, locations, and geometries. Research will merge in-situ sensing technologies, process modeling, and microstructure-based fatigue life methods to quantify the useful life of manufactured hardware. Predictions will be backed by extensive experimental validation demonstrating a new paradigm for efficient part qualification. Proposed research must investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in distributed AM capability. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
