Location: Frederick, MD
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 541715 - Scientific Research and Development Services (general category)
Scope: Federal

The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) is excited to post this summary announcement for a Request for Project Proposals (RPP) soliciting a broad range of medical prototype technological and knowledge solutions related to the Focus Areas of Interest (also called “Focus Area(s)”) listed below.

Proposed solutions may include medical techniques, knowledge products, and materiel (e.g., medical devices, drugs, and biologics).

Military relevance is a key feature of this RPP.

Awards resulting from this RPP are expected to be made under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 4022 (Authority of the Department of Defense to carry out certain prototype projects).

As stated at the end of this announcement, the full RPP is posted to the MTEC website (https://mtec-sc.org/); this notice is intended only to notify interested parties of the available solicitation. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Background: Current wartime operations assume that the United States and our allies will maintain air, land, maritime, space and cyber superiority.

Future conflicts against peer and near-peer adversaries are expected to be layered stand-offs and fought across multiple domains.

Mission success will be determined by our ability to compete to expand the competitive space, penetrate both strategically and operationally, disintegrate enemy’s defenses, exploit enemy weaknesses, and re-compete to consolidate gains.

Medical capabilities play a critical role in each aspect of the future battlespace and must modernize rapidly to maintain Force readiness and increase soldier lethality.

Focus Areas: To meet the intent of the RPP, each Enhanced White Paper proposal SHALL specifically address ONLY ONE Focus Area described below.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
