What project 549 buys
Advanced manufacturing demonstrations of biomanufactured products for critical defense applications. This project addresses the necessary activities to rapidly mature biomanufactured products and establish the necessary production capacity.
Project 549 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 225.4 |
| FY2027 | Request | 254.5 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 99.0 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 0.0 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 0.0 |

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describe FY2027 work in enough detail to have their own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
Continue to assess and award promising candidates in Bioindustrial manufacturing products. Criteria for selection will include exhibited capacity for rapid maturation and will be chosen in coordination with the relevant program offices for the end applications. Project chosen for maturation will have demonstrated alignment with defense…
