Collaboration with MTEC on Medical Technology for Military Use  

A Funding Opportunity by the U.S. Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC)

The Israel Innovation Authority and the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) would like to invite you to receive further information regarding the Fiscal Year 2025 Multi-Topic Request for Proposals funding opportunity focusing on medical technology for military use.

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.

Joining as an MTEC member for a fee is a pre-condition for the prime contractor (subcontractors are not required to be MTEC members) to submit an enhanced white paper. MTEC is able to fund internationally.

To meet the intent of this RPP, each proposal SHALL specifically address ONLY ONE Focus Area described below. Offerors are not limited to a single proposal submission. Projects that fail to align with only one of these Focus Areas may not be considered for funding. Focus of areas of interest for companies with an innovative technology at TRL 3 or 4 and above [see RPP for minimum TRL required for each focus area] include, but are not limited to the listing below:

• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Burn Care
• Prophylactic to Prevent Infection in Battlefield Wounds from Complex Traumatic Penetrating Injuries in a Far-Forward, Austere Environment
• Pathogen Agnostic Countermeasures for the Treatment of Sepsis Caused by Wound Infection
• Antivirals for the Prevention and/or Treatment of Endemic and Emerging Infectious Diseases (Non-biothreat Pathogens)
• Prevention of Endemic Diarrheal Diseases
• Knowledge Product Solutions for the Prevention of Infection in Traumatic Penetrating Wounds
• Pharmacogenetics
• Nutrition
• Musculoskeletal injury
• Computer Simulation

Awards resulting from this RPP are expected to be made in the second half of 2025. The expected start date is no sooner than 4 months after the submission of your enhanced white paper.

Total budget of this RPP process – TBD. For informational purposes only, the average size of MTEC awards is $M 2-3.5 for a period of performance of 2-3 years.

Awards can cover a broad spectrum of activities including:

• Prototype development, refinement, maturation
• Nonclinical and preclinical studies required for the technical data package for a regulatory application
• Clinical Studies
• Establish robust quality system
• Improve efficiency and reproducibility of manufacturing process for scale up
• Work towards FDA clearance/ approval
• Military environmental and operational assessments
• Ruggedization for operation in military environments
• Advanced technical testing in relevant or simulated operational environments

If you are successful in obtaining an award via MTEC, there is the potential for award of one or more non-competitive follow-on tasks based on the success of the project. Pending successful completion of the total effort, the U.S. Government may issue a non-competitive follow-on production contract or transaction pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 4022 section f.

Please note – the Israel Innovation Authority is not a partner of MTEC and does not evaluate the proposals or participating in the decision-making process. The Authority is only bringing up this collaboration opportunity as part of its strategy to introduce development opportunities to the Israeli ecosystem.
