SERDP would like to formally announce the 2021 AFFF Challenge, now posted under Challenge.gov. Be sure to review the guidance document and accompanying video.

This challenge provides an opportunity for individuals and firms of various sizes to contribute to the development of an AFFF alternative by submitting innovative formulations that can approach and match the capabilities of legacy AFFF. These capabilities will be initially demonstrated by the submitter, by performing a small pan fire extinguishing test as described later in this document and in the supporting videos.
