AI Contract Overview
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Multi X Office (MXO) is issuing a Special Notice for an invitation-only Pitch Day event scheduled for November 2, 2026, in Chicago, Illinois, as part of the MXO Spark Tank initiative. This notice is not a formal solicitation but serves informational and program planning purposes to alert potential participants of an upcoming opportunity to submit scientific discovery concepts aligned with designated Thrust Areas. Interested organizations must possess a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code and are expected to submit an abstract for evaluation during July or August 2026. Those selected following abstract review will be invited to develop and submit a Pitch Day Presentation (PDP) package and deliver an in-person oral presentation to DARPA MXO Program Managers and Leadership on November 2, 2026. A corresponding Poster Showcase and Networking event is planned for November 3, with award announcements to be made on November 4, 2026, following the conclusion of the MXO Spark Tank event. Participation requires registration for the MXO Spark Tank event and adherence to all security protocols. The event is conducted at the UNCLASSIFIED level, and non-U.S. citizens must comply with specific access requirements: U.S. permanent residents and foreign nationals not representing foreign governments must submit a DARPA Form 60, while foreign government representatives must submit an official Foreign Visit Request via their embassy in Washington, DC. All security forms must be completed prior to the Spark Tank registration deadline to avoid cancellation of participation. DARPA will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing or attending the event. The full announcement containing detailed submission instructions, abstract format requirements, and Thrust Area descriptions is anticipated to be published on June 24, 2026. All communication regarding this notice must reference DARPA-SN-26-74, and inquiries should be directed to MXO-PitchDay@darpa.mil for administrative or technical questions, and SIDInternationalSecurity@darpa.mil for security-related matters. No contract value, pricing, or formal award mechanisms are specified, as this is an exploratory outreach mechanism rather than a solicitation for binding agreements.
