Convergence Special Notice

Solicitation # DARPA-SN-26-108

The Convergence program seeks to revolutionize environmental monitoring for defense operations by integrating synthetic biology and engineering to create advanced microbial biosensors capable of detecting chemical and pharmaceutical hazards in austere environments. Leveraging non-pathogenic microbial consortia built on well-characterized, safe host organisms like E. coli, the initiative focuses on developing modular biological systems that translate environmental inputs into standardized, detectable outputs. The program’s development follows a structured four-tiered approach, progressing from component-level design and integrated payload engineering to full system integration within a microbial chassis, ultimately aiming for a deployable platform ready for U.S. and international regulatory certification. This systematic progression ensures that each layer of functionality is rigorously validated before scaling to operational readiness. To enable safe, responsible, and globally viable deployment, the program includes a dedicated ecosystem of testing and collaboration. Performance and safety validation will first occur within the United States before exploring international adoption, with two specialized working groups guiding the process: one focused on navigating socio-political landscapes and local environmental regulations, and another managing cooperative use cases and deployment protocols with global allies. Administered by DARPA, the solicitation under number DARPA-SN-26-108 invites multidisciplinary teams in synthetic biology, environmental science, and engineering to contribute to this initiative, with responses due by August 6, 2026. The program is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, and is led by Mark Salvador, with the goal of delivering a scalable, secure, and globally interoperable biosensor platform for the protection of military personnel.

MARSOC: Automated Armory Collaboration Event (CE)

Solicitation # MARSOC_Automated_Armory_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.
