MTEC Solicitation Summary: Fiscal Year 2026 Multi-Topic Request for Project Proposals

Solicitation # MTEC-26-04-MultiTopic

The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC), in collaboration with the Defense Health Agency, is soliciting project proposals under solicitation MTEC-26-04-MultiTopic for medical prototype technological and knowledge solutions. Authorized under 10 U.S.C. section 4022 and utilizing an Other Transaction Agreement, this effort seeks to modernize medical capabilities to maintain force readiness and soldier lethality in future multi-domain conflicts. The solicitation covers 16 distinct Focus Areas, including behavioral health, physical fitness, wound infection prevention, sepsis treatment, musculoskeletal injury interventions, non-addictive analgesics, blast and blunt impact sensors, and a multisite clinical biomarker platform for lung and kidney failure. Proposals are submitted via a two-stage Enhanced White Paper process, where selected Stage 1 submissions are invited to provide full cost proposals in Stage 2. To be eligible, projects must demonstrate clear military relevance, meet a minimum Knowledge/Technology Readiness Level of 3, and fit the specific definition of a prototype rather than being exploratory. Additionally, solutions must not have been submitted to MTEC within the last two years. While average initial awards range from 2.0 to 3.5 million dollars over a two to three year period, specific funding and performance periods vary by Focus Area. Teaming is encouraged, and successful projects may be eligible for non-competitive follow-on tasks.

Atomically Precise Molecules (APM)

Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-141

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Multi X Office is soliciting proposals for the Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program under solicitation DARPA-PS-26-141. The program aims to develop innovative synthesis techniques for programmable precision polymers (PPPs) and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials to overcome performance gaps in optical communications and LiDAR. The primary objective is the creation of scalable, fit-for-purpose materials, culminating in a prototype demonstration of a revolutionary NLO material integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator. Research focusing solely on inorganic materials or incremental improvements to the state-of-the-art is specifically excluded. This 36-month effort is structured in two technical phases, with Phase I focusing on developing PPP synthesis capabilities over the first 12 months. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction (OT) for Prototype Agreements under 10 U.S.C. 4022. Key requirements include CMMC Level 2 self-assessment compliance and adherence to a program-specific Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) guide. Non-US organizations, FFRDCs, UARCs, and government entities are ineligible to serve as prime performers, though FFRDCs and UARCs may participate as subawardees provided they meet specific certification and conflict of interest mitigation requirements. Proposals must be submitted via the Broad Agency Announcement Tool (BAAT) by December 18, 2026. Submissions must include a technical and management volume, a price proposal with a detailed spreadsheet, a Task Description Document, and a schedule of milestones and payments. Evaluation will be based on the technical approach, relevance to the DARPA mission, budget realism, and the capability to transition the technology to military or commercial sectors. Payments are milestone-based and processed through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system.
