Prototype phage hygiene spray bottles

The U.S. Army is seeking a contractor to develop and deliver a prototype phage‑based hygiene spray bottle. The effort includes three formulation iterations, extensive stability and safety testing (freeze‑thaw, accelerated heat, preservative challenge, HRIPT), and final production of 100 spray bottles meeting MoCRA cosmetic regulations. The work must be performed over a ten‑month period with milestone‑based payments, and all shipments of live phage formulations must be on ice, delivered by Thursday 14:30 via FedEx. • Develop three phage‑compatible cosmetic formulations, maintaining >1 × 10⁸ PFU/mL. • Conduct required microbiological, stability, and human safety testing, returning data to the Soldier Center within 2‑6 weeks. • Manufacture and ship 100 prototype spray bottles (50 with phage, 50 formulation‑only) meeting specified packaging and performance criteria.
