(RFI): Validation of Emerging Defense & Detection Equipment for Readiness (VEDDER) Prototype Accelerator

Inactive
Notice ID:W911SR-24-R-CWMD

This opportunity establishes a public-private technology accelerator to counter strategic competitors by rapidly prototyping medical countermeasures. The accelerator will bridge private sector innovation with government High-Performance Computing resources to secure the U.S. biotechnology ecosystem. Traditional Department of War acquisition models, operating on 7-to-15-year timelines, are insufficient for this effort. The Government seeks an asymmetric response leveraging private capital and commercial enterprise through an Other Transaction Agreement with a 501(c)(3) partner. No specific budget amounts or performance location are mentioned.

(RFI): Validation of Emerging Defense & Detection Equipment for Readiness (VEDDER) Prototype Accelerator

Notice ID:W911SR-24-R-CWMD

This opportunity establishes a public-private technology accelerator to counter strategic competitors by rapidly prototyping medical countermeasures. The accelerator will bridge the private sector, national High-Performance Computing resources, and the Government to speed technology development. Traditional acquisition models operating on 7-to-15-year timelines are insufficient for pacing threats in biotechnology and AI. The U.S. biotechnology ecosystem is projected to exceed $1.5 trillion. No specific budget amounts, performance location, or non-bid timelines are mentioned.

Validation of Emerging Defense & Detection Equipment for Readiness (VEDDER) Prototype Accelerator

Notice ID:W911SR-24-R-CWMD

This opportunity establishes a public-private technology accelerator to speed prototyping of medical countermeasures, countering strategic competitors like the PRC by harnessing private capital and academia. The accelerator, supported by Government investment, will bridge the private sector with national High-Performance Computing resources. Traditional Department of War acquisition models operating on 7-to-15-year timelines are deemed insufficient for rapidly evolving domains like biotechnology and AI. The U.S. biotechnology ecosystem is projected to exceed $1.5 trillion. No specific budget amounts, performance location, or non-bid timelines are mentioned.
