PerrseusThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking innovative proposals under solicitation DARPA-PS-26-127, titled Perrseus, to advance the development of compact cold-atom devices and environmentally-decoupled ultra-high Q microelectromechanical (MEMS) and photonics systems through microscale ultra-high-vacuum (µUHV) technologies. This effort is structured as an Other Transaction (OT) agreement under 10 U.S.C. § 4022, bypassing traditional Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) processes to enable faster, more flexible collaboration with nontraditional defense contractors, academia, and small businesses. The award will be milestone-based, with payments tied to the successful completion of technical objectives defined in the performer’s proposal, and may follow a fixed-support or expenditure-based model depending on the negotiated structure. The program includes robust intellectual property provisions, where the government retains certain rights to inventions and data, while performers retain ownership, subject to specific obligations regarding practical application and record retention. Cybersecurity requirements mandate safeguarding covered defense information in accordance with CUI standards and require prompt reporting of cyber incidents, with applicable flow-down provisions to all subcontractors. Performance will be measured through periodic milestone reports reviewed by a DARPA Agreement Officer’s Representative, with electronic submission and acceptance handled via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system. All awardees must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), maintain active Cage Code, UEI, and TIN data, and submit required certifications regarding tax compliance, felony convictions, and lobbying activities. A Data Management Plan must be submitted within 30 days of award via the DARPA Vault tool, and final deliverables include an executive summary, property reports for items over $10,000, and compliance with export control and telecommunications prohibitions. Proposals are due by September 23, 2026, and must be submitted via email with a password if necessary, while invention disclosures must be filed through I-Edison.

3D Coastal Ocean Foundational Model Using AI, SCHISM and MLEOF Models.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Coast Survey intends to award a sole-source purchase order to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) to develop an AI-based predictive model for ocean temperature, salinity, and currents by integrating the SCHISM physics-based modeling system and the MLEOF machine-learning empirical orthogonal function technique. VIMS is the sole originator and custodian of both the SCHISM model and its specialized 3D application, STOFS-3D-Atlantic, which provides the high-fidelity, long-term hindcast data essential for training the AI model. The project will further apply a generative forecasting transformer to derive accurate, deployable predictions, leveraging VIMS’s unique expertise in merging advanced coastal ocean modeling with proprietary AI methodologies that no other entity possesses. The agency determined no alternative sources exist due to the exclusive ownership of the required models and the deep, established technical integration capabilities only VIMS can provide, making competition infeasible. The contract period spans from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with no set-aside applied and the NAICS code 541715 assigned. Market research confirmed no other organizations can reproduce the necessary combination of SCHISM model access, MLEOF AI tool development, and operational-scale validation required to meet mission-critical objectives in coastal ocean prediction. While this is a presolicitation notice and not a competitive request, interested parties may submit supporting documentation or inquiries by August 11, 2026, to challenge the sole-source determination, though any decision to open competition remains at the government’s sole discretion. All communication must be in writing, and responses will be evaluated only to assess the validity of the sole-source justification. The place of performance is Gloucester Point, Virginia, with the primary point of contact being Michelle Walton of NOAA’s Eastern Acquisition Division in Norfolk.

MARSOC: Automated Armory Collaboration Event (CE)MARSOC, in partnership with SOFWERX, is inviting U.S. industry, academia, and national laboratories to collaboratively develop a revolutionary automated armory system that eliminates manual inventory processes through a fully passive, image-based tracking solution. The initiative targets the modernization of serialized weapon and equipment accountability by replacing paper logs, handwritten forms, and RFID or radio-frequency systems with secure optical recognition and computer vision technologies. Participants are challenged to design a system that authenticates users via CAC, automatically logs equipment issuance and recovery through photographic scans, tracks item locations, and maintains tamper-proof audit trails—all without emitting any RF signals to preserve operational security. The effort is driven by the need to reduce human error, minimize administrative burden, and ensure absolute accountability in high-stakes special operations environments. The collaboration unfolds in stages: first, a mandatory submission deadline of 16 August 2026 for attendance at the in-person Collaboration Event on 17 September 2026 at SOFWERX in Florida, where stakeholders will engage directly with warfighters to refine requirements. Those unable to attend may still submit solutions by 20 October 2026 for the Assessment Event, which includes a virtual Q&A on 3 November and a downselect by 1 December. Finalists will present live demonstrations during the Assessment Event from 15 to 17 December 2026, with top-performing solutions potentially entering into non-traditional agreements under 10 U.S.C. Sections 4021, 4022, or other alternative contracting authorities such as OTAs, CRADAs, or prize competitions. Selected participants must comply with NIST SP 800-171 for handling Controlled Unclassified Information. Only U.S. persons and U.S. industry entities are eligible to participate, and success in this event may lead directly to follow-on production agreements without additional competition.
