Chemical/Biological Technologies BAA

The Chemical/Biological Technologies BAA (HDTRA1-22-S-0002) is DTRA's applied chem-bio defense research channel, complementing the lower-TRL basic research BAA. It covers work at TRL 3-6 and was posted in June 2022, with a five-year window that runs to about June 2026. The BAA uses the same DTRA framework that can reach universities and non-profits through grants or cooperative agreements and industry through contracts or OTAs. The source material does not publish a public award range, but it does show a U.S. geography, dual-use expectations, and eligibility for universities, non-profits, FFRDCs, and businesses. The program is structured as a rolling vehicle rather than a single one-off call, even though this series is now near the end of its life cycle. The best applicants are teams that are already past the earliest discovery stage and can show a more mature applied defense technology path. Because the current series is nearing expiry and a successor has only been anticipated, applicants should treat it as a closing window and move quickly on any topic that still fits the published scope.
