Tender Details

The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) is excited to post this pre-announcement for a Request for Project Proposals (RPP) in support of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). This effort focuses on the development of a fully automated, man-portable, and ruggedized prototype platform for the on-demand, expeditionary manufacturing of clinical-quality nucleic acid primers and probes. This system must be designed for operation in far forward or austere environments by non-specialist personnel.
Background:
Technology development and progress are urgently needed to address critical capability gaps in expeditionary medical diagnostics. Current diagnostic capabilities are hindered by a reliance on centralized manufacturing for essential nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) reagents, such as primers and probes. This paradigm is currently incompatible with the demands of agile, far-forward medical responses to novel biothreats. An effective prototype must overcome several key challenges identified across the current landscape. Technologically, it must replace the current hazardous and environmentally sensitive synthesis systems with field-stable chemistry and ruggedized hardware. Any proposed system must integrate a deployable, effective method for both the purification of synthesized reagents and their subsequent quality control and validation, as this represents a major unsolved problem. Finally, any successful prototype must be developed with a clear strategy to navigate the currently undefined regulatory pathway for far-forward manufactured diagnostics.
Technical Objective:
This upcoming RPP focuses on the development, integration, and demonstration of a fully automated, man-portable, and ruggedized prototype platform for the on-demand, expeditionary manufacturing of clinical-quality nucleic acid primers and probes. This system must be designed for operation in far forward or austere environments by non-specialist personnel. The capability ...
