The initiative seeks capabilities that enable the U.S. Army and NATO forces to achieve electromagnetic spectrum superiority in dense, contested, and denied environments by providing seamless sensing, identification, targeting, and non-lethal disruption of adversary systems across all echelons. Submissions must demonstrate alignment with five key verticals: Electromagnetic Support and Surveillance, Common Services, Electromagnetic Attack, Sensor-to-Shooter Integration, and Resilience in Degraded Environments. Technologies must be optimized for Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C), support open architectures like MOSA and SOSA, incorporate AI/ML for real-time signal classification and automation, and operate effectively in DDIL (Distributed, Disaggregated, Integrated, Limited) conditions without relying on robust network connectivity. Respondents are required to submit a ten-page whitepaper detailing the technology’s development, operational history, current Technology Readiness Level (TRL), and specific alignment with one or more verticals, along with a single-page technology quad chart that summarizes capability, prior deployments, TRL, and a full technical point of contact. Submissions must be unclassified and properly marked for proprietary or sensitive information. The government will evaluate submissions through a peer review panel of military, industry, and academic experts based on technical merit, mission alignment, and integration potential. Participation in the Spectrum Proof event, scheduled for November 2–6, 2026, at Fort Knox, Kentucky, is not guaranteed, and no costs incurred in response to this sources sought will be reimbursed. There is no obligation to award any contract from this effort, but selected technologies may be invited to participate in a follow-on experimentation event in the EUCOM theater in third quarter fiscal year 2027 under authorities including 10 U.S.C. 4021, 4022, and 3458. Offerors must affirm they are acting solely as technology demonstrators and will not evaluate other submissions to prevent conflicts of interest.

Cooperative Driving Automation (CDA) Small-Scale Industry Prototype

Solicitation # 693JJ3-26-BAA-0005

The U.S. Department of Transportation is seeking industry-led prototypes to demonstrate Cooperative Driving Automation (CDA) technologies that enhance roadway safety, mobility, and operational efficiency by enabling communication between vehicles and roadside infrastructure. This effort addresses critical gaps in current vehicle automation systems, which struggle with edge cases like occlusion and complex intersections, by validating CDA solutions that provide cooperative perception, work zone management, traffic incident response, and emergency/transit vehicle awareness. The project requires development of pre-production prototypes at Technology Readiness Levels 6–7, starting with rigorous testing in controlled environments to verify interoperability, functional safety, and cybersecurity, followed by small-scale real-world demonstrations on public roads with mixed traffic. Successful proposals must align with USDOT’s national strategy for CDA deployment across rural, suburban, and urban settings, and must show clear superiority over standalone automation or basic V2X systems through quantifiable safety and mobility gains. Contractors must form multidisciplinary teams led by OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, or autonomous driving system developers, with verified partnerships with infrastructure owner-operators and independent evaluators. Proposals must include comprehensive plans for system integration compliant with SAE J2735, IEEE 1609.2, and other applicable standards, along with security-by-design implementations such as SCMS/PKI, message authentication, and misbehavior detection. A robust Test and Evaluation Plan, Safety Management Plan, and Operational Readiness Review process are mandatory, supported by Key Performance Indicators measuring latency, accuracy, and system efficiency. The project has a 24-month timeline, with a mandatory 18-month controlled testing phase and an optional 6-month real-world demonstration phase contingent on successful review. Proposals are evaluated first on technical merit—with high confidence required to proceed—then on funding availability, and only finally on cost realism. Maximum contract value is $5 million, with submissions limited to 30 pages in the technical volume and requiring UEI registration, small business subcontracting plans if applicable, and full compliance with security, accessibility, DEI, and data sharing mandates including FAR clauses 52.240-90, 52.240-91, and 52.222-90. All data and software developed must be shared openly via USDOT’s ITS DataHub and CodeHub with unlimited government rights unless correctly marked as proprietary.

The program demands revolutionary advances in vibration-hardened, ultra-low phase noise photonic oscillators and associated analog and mixed-signal components, with a strict exclusion of non-optical microwave generation methods or evolutionary improvements to existing technology. Proposals must enable system architectures that maintain phase noise below -120 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz offset and -150 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset for a 10 GHz carrier, achieve relative timing error under 1 picosecond over 1–100 second intervals, operate within a volume constraint of 300 cc, and sustain performance across environmental extremes of -40 to 85°C and 7.7 gm vibration. The effort spans a 42-month, two-phase timeline, with Phase 1 focused on component development and architecture design, culminating in a brassboard prototype and an on-platform demonstration. Key deliverables include photonic oscillators, breadboard and brassboard prototypes, detailed digital signal processing algorithms, and environmental packaging compliant with MIL-STD-883-2, Method 2026, Test Condition I/B. This procurement is conducted as an Other Transaction (OT) agreement under 10 U.S.C. § 4022, bypassing traditional FAR clauses in favor of contractual articles governing term, management, administration, payment, patent and data rights, foreign access to technology, cybersecurity, and public dissemination. All proposals must be submitted via the BAAT portal and include mandatory attachments: a technical and management volume (Volume I), a price volume (Volume II) using the DARPA Price Summary Spreadsheet, a Task Description Document, a Schedule of Milestones and Payments, and the Other Transaction Certification. Full proposals require an Execution Plan Oral Proposal presentation and a CUI Addendum request by the August 24, 2026 deadline. Financially, the total program funding is $58 million, expected to be distributed among three to five awards, with payments tied to milestone completions verified through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system. Proposers must certify compliance with SAM.gov requirements, including Unique Entity ID and CAGE code validation,
