Solicitation # NSF-OTASO-FY26-XLabsInitative

The National Science Foundation Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships is soliciting proposals for the X-Labs Other Transaction Agreement Solutions Offering (OTASO) under solicitation NSF-OTASO-FY26-XLabsInitiative. This initiative aims to establish domestic, interdisciplinary R&D teams capable of developing novel platform technologies to advance U.S. leadership in science and technology. Unlike traditional FAR-based procurements, this program utilizes Other Transaction (OT) contracts to provide awarded teams with significant operational autonomy, flexibility in hiring and procurement, and a specialized intellectual property framework designed to prioritize technology proliferation. The program is structured in multiple phases, beginning with Phase 0, which lasts 9 to 12 months with funding up to 1.5 million dollars. Successful teams may proceed to Phase 1, lasting 24 to 36 months with potential funding up to 50 million dollars per year, with further possibilities for Phase 2 and Phase 3 renewals based on performance. Awards are milestone-based with fixed-price payments scheduled quarterly upon the successful completion of verifiable technical achievements. Selection follows a two-step competitive process consisting of a written proposal evaluation and a subsequent oral presentation for down-selected teams. Evaluation criteria focus roughly equally on team qualifications and structure and mission clarity and outcomes. Proposers must be domestic responsible entities registered in SAM.gov and must provide a Conflict of Interest statement using FAR Subpart 9.5 as a framework. All work must be performed within the United States.
