Solicitation # 693195-26-BAA-0001
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Office of Research, Demonstration, and Innovation has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) soliciting applied research projects to enhance the safety, reliability, efficiency, and accessibility of public transportation in the United States. This unrestricted solicitation is open to any responsible source, excluding Federal Government-owned businesses, and encourages teaming and collaboration.

Research topics include community connectivity, accessibility for automated vehicles, urban rail innovations, ferry safety, and transit safety data analytics. Individual awards typically range from $150,000 to $500,000, and while cost sharing is not mandatory, projects that include transit operator partnerships and cost sharing are preferred. The selection process follows a two-step approach requiring an initial concept paper and project quad chart, followed by a detailed technical and cost proposal if invited. Following Amendment 0002, the due date for submissions has been extended to November 6, 2026. Awards are anticipated as firm-fixed-price or level-of-effort term contracts, though cost-reimbursable contracts may be considered with justification.

Solicitation # 10292026-LR-27
The Department of Energy, in partnership with the National Nuclear Security Administration, has announced the Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) pilot program. This initiative, conducted by the Nevada National Security Sites, Y-12 National Security Complex, and Kansas City National Security Campus, aims to assist qualified U.S. small and medium-sized businesses in manufacturing low-volume, high-impact technologies developed by DOE/NNSA Labs, Plants, and Sites. These technologies, which include specialized optical imaging, radiation and chemical sensing systems, precision electrical components, and advanced materials, often have limited commercial markets but are critical for government mission requirements. Under the program, selected businesses may receive a Cost Reduction License (CRL) for a nominal fee, granting them the rights to produce specified technologies for sale to the DOE, NNSA, and other government customers at pre-negotiated prices. Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based SMBs, with preference given to those near participating sites or those with SBA 8(a) or HUBZone designations. Interested parties are evaluated based on their technical and manufacturing capabilities, financial capacity, and ability to meet regulatory and security requirements. Responses must be submitted to the Technology Partnerships and Intellectual Property Office by April 1, 2027, and are categorized under NAICS code 541715.

Solicitation # RFI-PGI-20260929
The Department of the Navy is conducting a Request for Information under solicitation RFI-PGI-20260929 to gather industry feedback for the Pacific Greenfield initiative. This effort aims to establish an advanced manufacturing and industrial resilience campus on non-excess Navy property on Oahu, Hawaii, to reduce reliance on long-lead continental United States supply chains. The initiative focuses on creating theater-scale production capabilities for metals, composites, electronics, and large-format printing, bridging the gap between prototyping and industrial production of hundreds to thousands of units. Key priorities include the development of environmentally resilient, industrial-scale facilities integrated with modern utility infrastructure, grid-interactive storage, and circular resource-recovery solutions, while simultaneously strengthening the local Hawaii workforce through training pipelines and apprenticeships. The Navy is seeking input on site requirements, infrastructure needs, development timelines, and diverse acquisition and financing models, such as Enhanced Use Leases, Other Transaction Authorities, and joint ventures. A central technical goal is the implementation of a Born Qualified approach to digital engineering, utilizing in-situ process monitoring and digital workflows to ensure components meet naval and airworthiness standards at the point of production. This RFI is strictly for market research and planning purposes; it does not constitute a solicitation, does not commit the government to a contract, and will not result in payment for submitted information. Responses are due by 17:00 HST on November 10, 2026, and are limited to 20 pages.
