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.
