DARPA is awarding a sole-source cost?no?fee contract for Phase III of the ICE program to continue R&D on biologically inspired ice?modulating molecules. The 12?month contract is capped at $5?M and builds on work from Phases?I and?II. No competition is required due to unique expertise.
The contract will run for 12 months. "the period of performance for this effort is anticipated to be 12 months in duration. "
Estimated value is up to $5 million. "the total cumulative estimated value for all phase iii awards is anticipated not to exceed 5m"
