MXO Pitch Day 2026DARPA-PA-26-07 announces the MXO Pitch Day 2026, a solicitation designed to identify and fund high-potential, early-stage research proposals that aim to break new ground in three transformative thrust areas: a world beyond electronics, foundations beyond components, and materials beyond nature and current synthetic practice. The initiative seeks to catalyze scientific discovery through short-term efforts of up to 12 months with a maximum funding cap of $500,000 per award, focusing on advancing fundamental understanding, reducing technical uncertainty, and laying the groundwork for future breakthroughs. Eligibility is intentionally restricted to non-traditional performers, small businesses without prior DARPA prime awards, and university teams whose principal investigators and co-principal investigators have never led a DARPA-funded project, with the explicit goal of diversifying DARPA’s performer base and removing barriers to entry for new participants. Proposals must be submitted as a single unclassified abstract not exceeding five pages via the DARPA BAAT portal, using a mandatory template, and must include a clear problem definition, understanding of the current state of the art, and potential to inspire future research. No subcontractors, consultants, travel, publications, or subawards are permitted under any circumstances. All proposers must hold a valid CAGE code, be registered or in process of registering in SAM.gov, and affirm CMMC Level 1 compliance through the Supplier Performance Risk System. Fundamental research proposals require submission of biographical sketches and current/pending support forms for key personnel as part of DARPA’s Foreign Influence Review process. AI tool usage in proposal preparation must be disclosed and cited, though it does not influence evaluation. The solicitation operates under an Other Transaction for Research authority, not a traditional FAR contract, and contains no line items, CLINs, or formal contract clauses. Evaluation is based solely on technical merit, emphasizing the significance of the problem, potential for breakthrough impact, and the proposer’s vision and expertise, with cost considerations entirely excluded. The primary performance requirement is in-person participation at the MXO Pitch Day event in Chicago on November 2, 2026, where selected proposers will present their ideas; awards will be made immediately following the event without negotiation. Organizational conflicts are mitigated through stringent eligibility rules prohibiting prior DARPA leadership experience and eliminating third-party involvement. No options, extensions, or post-award modifications are anticipated, and all submissions must be unclassified and free of proprietary markings beyond basic labeling.

MXO Office-wide Innovative Solutions OpeningThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Multi X Office is seeking revolutionary research concepts through an open, rolling-call solicitation under DARPA-PS-26-115, targeting high-risk, high-reward innovations that exceed evolutionary improvements to current technologies. This solicitation, issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. §§ 4021, 4022, and 4023, enables the use of Other Transactions for Research and Prototype agreements, allowing flexibility in contract structure and intellectual property arrangements. Proposals must align with one of three technical thrusts: developing novel materials and components beyond traditional CMOS foundations to ensure resilient and secure systems; establishing indigenous supply chains and tools for domestic design and production of critical technologies; or advancing new sensing, orienting, computing, and communicating modalities that redefine mission effects. The solicitation explicitly excludes research that merely refines existing capabilities and emphasizes transformative breakthroughs in science, components, or systems. All submissions must be made electronically via DARPA’s Broad Agency Announcement Tool, with an initial abstract required prior to any full proposal invitation, and abstracts must be submitted by April 23, 2027, with full proposals due by June 4, 2027, on a rolling basis following review. Abstracts must not exceed six pages, be unclassified or Controlled Unclassified Information, include a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate, and follow strict formatting guidelines. Full proposals must include two volumes—Technical and Management, and Price—along with additional supporting documents like the Proposal Summary Slide and Price Summary Spreadsheet, and require mandatory disclosure of any AI tools used in preparation. Proposers must be registered entities with a Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, and Taxpayer Identification Number, and must comply with NIST SP 800-171 rev 2 cybersecurity requirements unless the work qualifies as fundamental research, in which case safeguards apply only if the project scope changes. Government entities, FFRDCs, and UARCs face additional eligibility constraints, including demonstrating that the proposed work is not otherwise available through the private sector and providing legal authority documentation, with 15 U.S.C. § 3710a deemed insufficient. Foreign nationals and U.S. permanent residents participating in presentations must be covered by an eForm 60, and prime contractors are responsible for ensuring compliance across all subawardees. Evaluations prioritize overall scientific and technical merit, including innovation, feasibility, team expertise,

Expedited Research Innovation System (ERIS)The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), in partnership with The Applied Research Institute (ARI), is operating the Expedited Research Innovation System (ERIS), an open-call digital marketplace designed to identify, assess, and rapidly acquire groundbreaking technologies through Other Transaction Authority. This initiative, solicited under DARPA-PS-25-05, invites industry, academia, and individual innovators to submit video pitches that demonstrate novel or newly applied technologies capable of advancing national security priorities. Submissions are evaluated monthly, with deadlines at noon Eastern Time on the last day of each month, and must conform to strict technical specifications: a single 7-minute MP4 video in 720p resolution under 1 GB, using Rec709 or sRGB color space, and containing only a valid copyright notice. The video must clearly articulate the problem being solved, the current state of the art, the proposed advancement, team expertise, and potential defense or commercial impact. The solicitation does not include pricing, line items, or estimated contract values, as awards are negotiated post-assessment on a case-by-case basis, with no ceiling on award amounts. Evaluations are conducted by a peer review panel of government, industry, and academic subject matter experts under strict organizational conflict of interest protocols, including mandatory ethics training, non-disclosure agreements, and prohibitions on reviewing submissions in which assessors have financial interests. Technical merit is assessed using two weighted factors: advancement of the state of the art (40%) and team capability (60%), with awards determined by a trade-off approach based solely on technical excellence and not cost. Submissions must align with specified topic areas including AI/ML convergence with chemistry and biology, human performance optimization, sensing systems, resilience against chemical and biological threats, and advanced metrology, while excluding previously solicited areas such as elusive target tracking. All deliverables are digital; no physical packaging, labeling, or MIL-STD compliance is required. Eligible offerors must provide a unique entity identifier from SAM.gov and disclose small business status or nontraditional contractor affiliation, with foreign ownership requiring additional disclosure and possible mitigation. The entire process—submission, assessment, negotiation, and potential award—is conducted through the ERIS portal, enabling government organizations to quickly discover, review, and engage with breakthrough innovations without traditional competition.

Non-Optical Methods for High Speed Protein ControlDARPA’s Biological Technologies Office is seeking innovative solutions through the ERIS Marketplace to develop a new class of rapidly switchable, non-optogenetic protein domains capable of enabling real-time, massless control of cellular processes. The goal is to create a robust, modular molecular tool that responds to non-optical external signals such as magnetic fields or focused ultrasound, allowing precise regulation of protein function across cell membranes without relying on light or chemicals. Proposed solutions must achieve activation and deactivation kinetics of no more than two seconds, demonstrate reliable performance through at least 300 repetitive cycles in living cells, and function effectively in both split-protein dimerization and allosteric conformational configurations. This effort explicitly excludes any modifications or enhancements to existing optogenetic, light-based, or chemical systems. The anticipated contract value is $400,000 for a 12-month performance period, with awards being made on a rolling basis as solutions are evaluated, and the government reserves the right to issue awards before the December 8, 2026 submission deadline. Proposals must be submitted via the DARPA Connect ERIS Portal as a video that follows the required title format, or existing awardable solutions may be flagged for consideration by emailing ERIS@darpa.mil with specific subject and body requirements. Evaluation will focus on four core areas: a deep understanding of the problem space and current limitations in fields like sonogenetics and magnetogenetics, a significant technical leap in achieving rapid and repeatable protein control, demonstrated expertise in synthetic biology, protein engineering, and biophysics with a proven track record of quantitative in vivo characterization, and the potential of the solution to become a foundational tool in synthetic biology with broad applications in defense-relevant areas such as biomanufacturing, cell-based therapeutics, and biosensing. All submissions are subject to the ERIS assessment process, which serves as a mandatory pass/fail gate—only solutions deemed awardable by this process will be considered for BTO award. The procuring agency is the Department of Defense through DARPA’s Arlington, VA office, and all participants must comply with the ERIS Master Solicitation requirements available via SAM.gov.
