What this opportunity is

The DEPT OF DEFENSE is buying innovative solutions for non-optical methods of high speed protein control. This special notice suits businesses classified under NAICS 541714. As a special notice, it indicates the government is searching for solutions rather than soliciting bids, so businesses should track the opportunity rather than prepare to bid immediately.

Analysis by Mindy, grounded in the SAM.gov notice.

Description

UPDATE: The purpose of Amendment 1 to DARPA-SN-26-89, the Non-Optical Methods for High Speed Protein Control Special Notice (SN), is to clarify the notice deadline. DARPA BTO will be actively “shopping” the ERIS Marketplace for innovative, post-competitive, awardable solutions that address the need for a new class of rapidly switchable, non-optogenetic protein domains for real-time cellular control. This effort seeks to develop a robust and versatile molecular tool for massless information transfer across a cell membrane, intended to supplement existing synthetic biology platforms.
