About the company
Roke Biotechnologies LLC, a Durham, North Carolina–based limited liability company and biomanufacturing technology developer, operates as a recipient of federal research grants and as a subrecipient on NSF-funded projects, with minimal federal prime contract exposure. The vendor's footprint consists of three awards across two federal agencies — predominantly NSF work — totaling $744 thousand in combined obligated dollars over the past eighteen months.
The National Science Foundation is the dominant funder, accounting for two of three awards. Roke serves as prime recipient on an NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (STTR Phase I) grant awarded July 1, 2026, for $305 thousand, with performance running through June 30, 2027. The project develops a low-cost manufacturing platform for agricultural peptides using semi-continuous bacterial fermentation integrated with simplified purification methods, addressing three technical challenges: maintaining stable protein production over extended operation without genetic drift, integrating multiple processing steps into a coordinated continuous system, and protecting sensitive peptide products from degradation during purification. Success criteria include target expression levels, purification yields above ninety percent, and continuous operation for seventy-two hours or longer without performance decline. Roke planned sub-awards under this grant. As a subrecipient, Roke receives funding from two NSF-funded prime recipients: Georgia Tech Research Corporation (sub-award dated December 4, 2025) for cell-free protein expression module development and framework integration, and Bioindustrial Manufacturing and Design Ecosystem (sub-award dated April 6, 2026) for low-cost nanobody-based growth factor replacement research. A single award from the Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command rounds out the agency set. Activity shows two awards in 2026 against one in 2025. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete exposure. Roke's capability footprint centers on scalable biomanufacturing, protein expression systems, and fermentation process engineering for agricultural and biotechnology applications, with federal research funding routed through NSF small-business innovation programs and cooperative research vehicles rather than defense or civilian agency procurement.
