Atomically Precise Molecules (APM)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-141
The Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program, solicitation DARPA-PS-26-141, is a Department of Defense initiative managed by the DARPA Multi X Office. The program seeks innovative synthesis techniques for programmable precision polymers (PPPs) to develop revolutionary nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The primary objective is to create scalable materials with strictly controlled monomer sequences and composition, culminating in a prototype demonstration integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator. Key technical goals include achieving modulation greater than 1THz and meeting specific optical loss metrics. The program is structured in two phases, with an anticipated start date of April 1, 2027, and a performance period extending through 18 months. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements, with payments tied to a schedule of milestones and processed via the Wide Area Workflow system. Proposals are evaluated based on scientific and technical merit, relevance to the DARPA mission, budget realism, and the capability for technology transition. Strict eligibility requirements apply, as non-US organizations are prohibited from participating. Additionally, performers must adhere to rigorous cybersecurity standards, including CMMC Level 2 self-certification and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 R2 controls for the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information. Full proposals, including technical, management, and pricing volumes, must be submitted through the Broad Agency Announcement Tool by December 18, 2026.

Protein Palace Proposers Day
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-01
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is initiating the Protein Palace program to develop a universal, tunable protein purification platform. This initiative aims to replace the traditional lock-and-key paradigm with a system capable of purifying multiple proteins from a single system by leveraging unique physicochemical characteristics to improve biomanufacturing specificity, generalizability, and scalability. The program is structured into two distinct phases: a 24-month Phase 1 focused on proving the feasibility of specificity and generalizability by separating eight different proteins, followed by an 18-month Phase 2 focused on scalability and throughput, which requires demonstrating the platform on two additional proteins that are difficult to purify using current state-of-the-art methods. To support this effort, DARPA is hosting an in-person Proposers Day on November 17, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET at the Executive Conference Center in Arlington, Virginia. This event is unclassified, and all attendees must provide government-issued photo identification. While the current Special Notice DARPA-SN-27-01 and its subsequent amendment serve as information and planning tools rather than a formal solicitation, DARPA anticipates releasing the full solicitation on sam.gov prior to the event. Interested parties must meet the registration deadline of November 9, 2026, to attend the session.

Solid-State Energy Conversion from Heat to Electricity Request for Information (RFI)
Solicitation # DARPA-SS-27-01
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office is issuing Request for Information (RFI) DARPA-SS-27-01 to explore the current state of the art and technological limitations of solid-state direct thermal-to-electric energy conversion. This initiative focuses on systems that convert temperature differentials into electrical energy without the use of mechanical moving parts, such as turbines or pistons. The primary objective is to gather quantitative data on performance across various operating temperatures, identify limiting factors, and determine the most viable use cases to inform the planning of future research and development programs. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals. Interested parties must submit unclassified responses by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on November 23, 2026, via email to [email hidden]. Submissions must adhere to specific formatting guidelines, including a 12-point font and a structured layout consisting of a cover sheet, a five-page technical description, a two-page bibliography, and a one-page summary of prior research. Respondents are encouraged to include technical models, test data, and the current Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of their technologies, while ensuring any proprietary information is clearly labeled.

Cattle Run Proposers Day Announcement
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-03
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is hosting a Proposers Day for the Cattle Run program on November 10, 2026, at the DARPA Conference Center in Arlington, Virginia. This event serves as an informational forum to discuss the development of autonomous spacecraft utilizing solar sails or other renewable propulsion systems to enable cost-effective cislunar constellations. The program is structured in phases, beginning with the rapid development and launch of a demonstrator spacecraft below geosynchronous earth orbit to validate acceleration, vehicle control, and autonomous Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC), followed by the deployment of multiple spacecraft for cislunar operations. Registration for the event must be completed by November 4, 2026. Attendance is strictly limited to U.S. Citizens, who must submit a U.S. Citizenship Verification form (DARPA eForm 104). Additionally, all attendees and potential proposers must meet CMMC Level 2 requirements, incorporating the 110 security requirements of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 for the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information, with verification performed via the Supplier Performance Risk System. While this notice provides critical program details and networking opportunities, including one-on-one sessions with Program Manager Steven Chambers, it does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals.
