Disruptioneering Program Announcement
Solicitation # DARPA-PA-25-07
The Disruptioneering Program, managed by the DARPA Defense Sciences Office, is designed to rapidly identify and leverage nascent scientific advances for national security through high-risk, high-payoff research initiatives. Rather than accepting proposals directly under the general Program Announcement DARPA-PA-25-07, the program operates by issuing specific Disruption Opportunities (DOs). These DOs are short-term solicitations, typically lasting no more than 60 days, that target specific technical domains to produce prototype demonstrations. Awards are issued as Other Transaction (OT) agreements for prototypes under 10 U.S.C. § 4022, which allows for greater flexibility and faster execution than traditional FAR-based contracts. Projects are often structured in two phases, consisting of a base phase and an optional second phase contingent upon the outcome of the first. Proposals are evaluated based on overall scientific and technical merit, relevance to the DARPA mission, and price reasonableness. Submissions must adhere to a strict three-volume format: a Technical and Management volume, a Price Proposal volume, and an Administrative and National Policy Requirements volume, along with a summary slide and a Task Description Document. Key administrative requirements include compliance with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) for safeguarding federal information and strict disclosures regarding organizational conflicts of interest, particularly for entities providing SETA or A&AS support. Payments are milestone-driven and processed through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system, with the Technical Representative or Program Manager responsible for the formal inspection and acceptance of all deliverables.
