Intrinsic Market Resilience (IMR)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-138
The Intrinsic Market Resilience (IMR) program, solicited by the DARPA Information Processing Techniques Office under DARPA-PS-26-138, is a 32-month initiative spanning Fiscal Years 2027 through 2029. The program aims to protect essential U.S. economic sectors from systemic risks and adversarial attacks targeting the public interfaces of modern electronic markets. By combining Large Language Model (LLM) automation with rigorous mathematical modeling, IMR seeks to develop tools that automatically translate informal regulatory and technical specifications into formal models to identify hidden weaknesses and recommend structural repairs. The work is divided into three technical areas: TA1 focuses on modeling and analysis, TA2 on resiliency and repair, and TA3 on establishing test and evaluation frameworks to validate the outputs of the first two areas. This procurement is conducted as an Other Transaction (OT) for Prototype Agreement under 10 U.S.C. 4022, with anticipated award ranges of 4.5 to 5 million dollars for TA1, 2.5 to 3 million dollars for TA2, and 5 to 6.5 million dollars for TA3. Eligible participants include small businesses, nonprofit research institutions, and nontraditional defense contractors. Proposers must adhere to strict security requirements, including CMMC Level 1 compliance at award and CMMC Level 2 status or a detailed compliance plan. All information must be handled according to NIST 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 standards. Evaluation is based on technical approach, qualifications, technology transition viability, price, and security, with a particular emphasis on innovation and the feasibility of the proposed technical solution.
