Solicitation # NSF-OTASO-FY26-XLabsInitative
The U.S. National Science Foundation's Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships is soliciting proposals through the X-Labs Other Transaction Agreement Solutions Offering (OTASO) to establish interdisciplinary R&D teams focused on advancing novel platform technologies. This initiative aims to accelerate the transition from research to impactful innovation to maintain U.S. leadership in science and technology. The program is structured as an Other Transaction (OT) contract rather than a FAR-based procurement, emphasizing operational autonomy and flexibility for domestic responsible entities. Awards are milestone-based and divided into three phases: Phase 0 (9 to 12 months) for concept development and budget refinement, Phase 1 (24 to 36 months) for mission execution and team scaling, and Phase 2 (variable duration) for high-performing teams to refine solutions or spin off into new initiatives. The competitive evaluation process involves a down-select from written proposals, with selected entities invited to submit oral proposal packages and participate in presentations. Evaluation is weighted equally between team qualifications and structure (50%) and mission clarity and outcomes (50%). Funding is provided via fixed-price payments triggered by the successful completion of technical and reporting milestones, with a mentioned maximum funding of 1,500,000 dollars for teams assessing operational readiness. Applicants must be registered in SAM.gov with a Unique Entity Identifier and are required to provide a comprehensive Conflicts of Interest statement. Performance must occur within the United States, and the initiative targets a 5- to 7-year timescale for achieving its ambitious target outcomes.
